It was all staged ... he isn't really injured ... GC are just tanking early!!! ;D

His knees were bound to get injured carrying the entire club on his shoulders. Surprised he hasn't done his back yet

Furthermore, last year he sustained a knee injury causing him to be subbed out for 19 points.

He came back the following week scoring 127. Followed by 126, 138 etc

He's not soft like he was taught to be like at Geelong. He knows time is getting on, and he must play through shower like this!

He may get rested regardless ... hey it's not like GC are going to play finals. :)
Why take any risk with the champion.

Colliwobblers · April 22, 2012, 01:19:28 AM

because the coach's job is playing for it's life forget finals, they need to improve or else! dog eat dog if your a coach.

He will play if able to same as most players just depends what he has done. tougher than most IMO.

He had tweeted that it's all structurally sound so that's good news

probably will miss a week.. and hopefully thats all

would only trade him if he was out for 6+ weeks. i'm bloody thankful it didn't come earlier, otherwise i'd be looking at sub-2000 for only the 2nd time in 4 years. lol.

"right knee injury in Q4... hyperextended as a Lion fell across the knee"

--------------------------------------------------------

How long would he have to be out for, for people to trade him?

Samm79 · April 22, 2012, 08:42:58 AM

looked like a knock to me, not a hyper extension. Think he'll be right.

it didnt look that bad, but i guess we'll know soon enough

MC · April 22, 2012, 11:42:12 AM

I'm just happy it was in the 4th quarter after amassing 130-odd points, and not in the first quarter! A true captain, looking after his fans!
