News Jarrod Pickett nominates Carlton

[jd2010]

oh ok. Do not want then

Just putting it out there before the goo fest over him being a former pick 4

What do you mean he is not all that mentally tough?

I recall some people stating that in the blumour discussion but I could has misread or am thinking of someone else.

GWS must have taken him at pick 4 for a reason.... they could gave used pick 6 on him

Just felt the some movement in the front of my pants

My paradigm just twitched!!

I've had a look online and I've spoken with my sister in law who's a physio and I can't find much that says a lisfranc injury takes 18 months to recover from.
Has anyone got some reliable info that points to it being a career threatening injury in a man who's in his early twenties?
If we got Pickett right he sounds like a potential high value player.
Also, it seems a little arrogant for an injured inexperienced player to nominate a club unless they're very confident of a full recovery?

Yeah you're right. Maybe I'm just a bit too cautious in getting my hopes up. Blues have let me down too much to get to enthusiastic this early. Lol.

I really hope he comes back first thing for preseason training.

And who was the guy who got him with pick 4? The same guy giving all the off-cuts a second life

 

[luke livingston seagull]

He was always going top 10...

He is extremely fast and very skilful.

Hold up... are we allowed to recruit players like this?

Twomey, Quayle, Landsburger all had him going at 4 in their phantom drafts...

I read an article about the injury in the NFL, where its a lot more common. According to the article a study of the injury in the NFL found that the average recovery time was 1.3 years. So about 15/16 months.

Jack Trengove injury like?

Jack Trengove injury like?

He had navacular fracture

 

[Mr_Plow]

He also weighs 20-30kg less than an NFL player

Definitely an important consideration.

I'd shave a month or two off that recovery timeline.

Their final phantom drafts have a lot of ITK about them. All season most had him around 7-10

but when it mattered he went pick 4.

Some already had it.

 

[jd2010]

but when mistakes happen he went pick 4.

 

[Blue Doormat]

He also weighs 20-30kg less than an NFL player

And Richardson I guess..

 

[Malifice]

If this bloke gets his body (and head) in the right place I'm stoked. He went early for a reason. Some of his highlights are breathtaking.

Very high risk/ high reward. Our development and medical team have their work cut out.

 

[jd2010]

He should only be sugar on top of any deal we make that hands over a first round pick. Injury record and looks the type to bust after being flashy as a kid. Along with Marchbank there needs to be one other pretty sure thing plus a Corr type who is a bit of a squad filler

 

[ParapMarkets]

Great news! I watched this guy a bit when he was in Perth, serious quality!

I can appreciate the injury may put some people off, but it should ensure we get him at below market rate.

 

[1981]

Treat him like the thoroughbred he is. Give him all the medical and mental support he needs and he will blossom.
