The description of this incident is sickening, so it's good to hear that Eli should make a full recovery

Paywalled.

What happened?

Ex-AFL player Eli Templeton was rushed to hospital on Saturday after a sickening on-field incident which resulted in a game being called off.

The former St Kilda player suffered a fractured skull after being bumped over a fence and hitting his head on concrete...

...
The incident occured as players chased the ball over the boundary line.

Templeton was sent over the boundary fence by a heavy bump from Clarke, landing on conrete near the coaches’ box, knocking him unconscious.

Clarke was reported for the hit.



Apparently there wasn't actually much in the bump and just an unfortunate incident

[Baudolino]

This is outrageous from JK

 

[BotsMaster]

When we play WC we need to make sure Barrass can't intercept like he is in this game

He won't get near it.

 

[Chinacats]

Not 9! For jk

 

[BotsMaster]

Nice duck JJ

 

[Gunf]

This is turning into a really good game after a shaky start

 

[Goggin Our Best]

If the Eagles can’t beat Adelaide at home for JK’s last game it makes you wonder wtf is going on at that club

Purely tongue in cheek response - but there might be an answere/reason( considering how Geel is performing )

The only clue i will give you - just 2 letters - a K and a M

2 best on ground were the heroes of the day in JK and 200 gamer Liard

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Kennedy is a star.
The Eagles are Melbourne 2011 bad.

 

[Chinacats]

Crows are doing okay. If ever Geelong became a bottom 2 team . At least I would want them to be a competitive model like these crows. They have a crack at least

 

[Chinacats]

Tommy never kicked 8 ! Surprisingly!

 

[year of the cat]

On himself to kick certain goals.

The work ethic is not really the issue; it's all about confidence with him. His work ethic in year one, when he played EVERY game and romped in the Rising Star Award, was exemplary. Even that final against us , when he came back from suspension, he was great.

I know that from within Collingwood he was seen as a prodigiously talented youngster that struggled to embrace the professionalism required to play AFL. Hence the reason he was offered up fo trade.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

That % bris gave up in the 4th qtr could be crucial to their top 4 hopes. Same thing for carlton and top 8.

Thats awful hope he recovers ok.

Too unselfish, probably had some games where he could have kicked 8/9/10 but gave off too many or sacrificed his own game to help out a team mate.

Lions hold off blues in a thriller is the AFL website headline for lions vs blues clash. What thriller? Was 30-1 at qtr time then bears led by 58 before blues got some cheapies. End margin 33. No thriller at all…

I only went and saw a handfull of games

But way back - when Geelong West when they were in the VFA - their home ground - well in between the boundary line and the fence - there was a conctrete bike track/veledrome cambered on about a 30 to 40 degree angle

And i can still picture this - players running full pelt for the ball - like Cameron did last night in the last qtr - but he used the fence to brace himself - well you couldnt do that at Geelong West - they would be running - they would go over the boundary line - and then suddenly be on this angled concrete bike track at full pace ( with the old football stops on ) and gingerely trying to come to a halt - how someone didnt fall over and fracture their arm - or badly graze their knee is beyond me

That was so dangerous

The headlines for games this week has been pathetic

Like calling the GCS games epic
