polak hit by a tram

[Benchwarmer77]

Not good news...
wish him well

 

[campbell]

I must admit when asked this question, the doctor looked very nervous
Is very sad

I know.
I am a nurse.
I feel for his family at this time.So young, so sad.

 

[smasha]

Footy takes a back seat today to Polak getting back to good health.

Best wishes to him and his family.

 

[NQTIGER]

Lets all say a prayer for him

 

[kouta6]

Terrible news,
lets hope he fullly recovers.

 

[froars]

Shocking news.

As much as I hate the Tiges, you never like to see guys hurt in any way, let alone this serious.

I genuinely hope he makes a full recovery, and maybe even play again one day.

Spot on.
Reminded me of your boy, Peter Motley, just a tragedy and footy rivalries just go by the by in times like this.

Hope he's not as bad as Peter but these things go through your head and you pray is not that bad.

 

[NQTIGER]

You would think something strange is going on as it is pretty hard to walk into a tram

Why dont you ____ off back into your hole you prick

Everyone hopes he is ok and all you can do is try to put some innuendos into it

you scum

 

[Yellow n Black]

great news that he's ok. Hopefully he's just a bit sore and shocked and we see him playing in 2 weeks after the break

mate...u can't be serious??? what an inconsiderate and stupid comment

as much as i would like to see him back playing, it is his well-being that is the most important

 

[eays]

my thoughts and prayers are with him. Get well mate. Things like this are bigger than footy.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Terrible news for all concerned, interestingly yet not suprising is the sentiment shown from all AFL followers, its what makes this such a terrific sport, shame on those who think other wise, don't think normal human beings could have anything but sympathy for anybody in this position, footballer or not and the circumstances don't mean a great deal. All the best to himself and his families for a healthy recovery. Lets hope he gets the chance to realise his ambitions whatever they are.

 

[chook2734]

I'm in disbelief right now.
Best wishes Polly - hope you pull out of this one ok.

 

[paolo]

who cares a bout footy atm lets hope and pray he makes a recovery.

 

[Ruanaidh]

Yes it is.

Not necessarily. RFC just had a news conference. Polly will be slowly brought out of the coma today. No broken bones but some swelling which is subsiding. I've got plenty of experience in this area and to be de-induced this early means a good prognosis.

 

[AlecDuncan]

I was stunned when I heard that on the telly this morning. I hope the guy is alright and recovers as good as new. Sympathies for his family who live on the other side of the country - they must be climbing the walls until they can get over here.

 

[RichosGuns]

Best wishes to him and his family

 

[Bojangles17]

Yes it is.

thats a stupid and ignorant suggestion less than 24 hours since the accident, by default doctors must deliver the worst case prognosis, time will tell. Let hope for the best if thats within you

 

[Tigersman]

Good luck to the bloke.
I am sure the club will look after him and his family well while he recovers.

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

With all due respect to the nurse above, some highly credentialled doctors made comments as late a year after Nathan Brown's leg break saying there was no chance he would ever play AFL again, let alone at a high level.

It's a bit of a stab in the dark even if you did know all of the details, let's wait and see what the doctors think when he wakes up.

Thank you for your opinion but you can't say that with any degree of confidence from the information you have.

 

[marco polo]

Terrible news.
I hope Polak makes a full recovery, my thoughts are certainly with him and his family today.

 

[JSFish]

That's really terrible news. As others have said, definitely gives you some perspective. Good luck Graham.

 

[NQTIGER]

Not the time for conspiracy theories buddy

He got ayellow for his smartarse remarks

 

[MagpieGirl_13]

I heard this on the radio about 10mins ago & couldn't believe what I was hearing.
I'm no Richmond supporter & barely know who Polak is, but he plays in the greatest game on earth so I wish him all the best. Hope he recovers because the last thing anyone wants to see is a player's career ended like this.

 

[thylacine60]

Bloody awful news. Bloke will fight like a Tiger and really believe he will pull through. Best wishes from myself and the Carlton footy club. T.

 

[TFLUA-Tiger]

Extremely saddening news.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends at such a tough time.

Don't worry about footy, Footy takes a back seat now, the priority is Polly's health.

for starters a broken leg is very different from the injuries the poor kid has atmo

You cant really look at specifics but in terms of generally you think someone with experiance in a similar area could make a more educated guess then you or I

This is pointless at this time - all that matters is that he recovers

Good Luck Graham
