West Coast scenario, amputation with no likely recovery.
Late 2017
These campaigners have more holidays than teachers!

Look he can brace for contact like he did that's fine but the rules around head high contact are if you choose to bump you are responsible for outcomes .
Maynard had no outcomes is why everyone is shitty .
Afl after telling everyone that they are protecting the head then engineering a not guilty verdict is BS .
100% if it was a player for a non vic team would have been suspended.

As someone married to a teacher let me pass on the message they need every one of those days, you can’t begin to imagine how hard it is and if it’s so good, why don’t you do it.
I gave up this fight years ago
They spend most their time at home prepping or marking. Bonkers amounts of unpaid overtime
Even PE teachers? Got a mate who is one and is down south playing golf every school holidays. Such a campaigner.
This is where we differ. Maynard didn’t go the bump.He turned sideways to protect himself. If he didn’t t hen go look at Brad Shepherd to see what happens when you go chest on into contact.A couple of the hits Shep took were the result of not turning sideways to protect himself.
Brayshaw is as hard as a cats head but certainly not a cerebral footballer.
Couldn’t he see a player coming at speed in a beeline??
P.S the AFL agreed with me!
Next!!
They’re not real teachers

Agree that 90% of teachers are underpaid and overworked but PE teachers are the exception to the rule, they're just dodgeball supervisors

Scans have revealed West Coast midfielder Elliot Yeo has injured the medial ligament in his right knee and sustained syndesmosis damage to his right ankle.
Yeo was injured when he was tackled during match simulation at Mineral Resources Park during training on Friday.
“There are always risks involved as we increase the intensity at training to prepare for the season, and unfortunately Elliot has sustained injuries to his right knee and ankle,” General Manager Football Gavin Bell said.
“We are working through his rehab program and a return-to-play timeline.
“At this stage, we’re hopeful he will be available in the early part of the season.”

Ankle might be the issue.
Hopefully Early part of the season
I wasn't having a dig at teachers - they're just a profession that have a lot of holidays. They've really stripped back the amount of time they can actually train in pre-season, while also doing everything they can to speed up the game. Also added an extra H&A round too.
I'm friends with quite a few teachers and noticed that the overtime depends a lot on how efficient they are with prep work (ie not over-doing it) and marking. One of their spouses is an engineer and massively cut down their time by designing a more efficient marking system.
The other thing they didn't seem to acknowledge is that school hours are 8.30-3.30 (7hrs including breaks) which probably necessitates at least 1-2hrs extra to make up an 8hr work day.

4-8 weeks would be a good outcome. Was bloody certain we'd be getting our usual "freak horrorshow injury"
It would be dealing with the kids parents who are rude, illogical or both that would do my head in
Everyone thinks everyone elses jobs easier i guess.

sounds like the syndesmosis injury isn't requiring surgery or is on the minor end, and MCL injury, 8 weeks might be a reasonable time frame being conservative
