    It's good not to add anymore to the list after the game tonight.

    Premiership Dog hospitalised following nasty injury

    VETERAN Bulldog Matthew Boyd was taken to hospital with a nasty ear injury following Thursday night's win over the Gold Coast.

    Boyd collected an accidental elbow from giant Sun Peter Wright in the third quarter, splitting his ear.

    He was carted off the field and did not return.

    "He's got a lacerated ear," Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge said post-match.

    "I haven't seen it, but it must be bad enough to need some stitches and some pretty handy needle work, I think he needs some plastic surgery on that ear.

    "He's gone off to the hospital now."

    Noticed Declan Hamilton in a moon boot at this evening's VFL game (left foot). Spoke to Toby McLean who had his calf bandaged at the same game, but he said he was right.

    Redders, Wally, Tweedie and Prudden all at the VFL game and walking without any aides - hopefully all ready to resume some form of training with the main group soon (fingers crossed)
    Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

    Re: Injury List - 2017 Season

    I thought we were the kings of inventing ways to get injured, but this is a new one!

    Essendon is awaiting specialist advice before determining the significance of an ankle injury sustained by Jayden Laverde.

    The 20 year old injured his ankle during the second half of the match against Geelong on Sunday.

    “Jayden got clipped over the head while marking the ball in the air and he landed so awkwardly that his boot snapped,” High Performance Manager Justin Crow said.

    “He’s got an injury to the inside of his ankle and also an injury to the flexor retinaculum, which is a sheet that goes across the front of the ankle.

    “The first part of that injury is only of moderate concern for us but the flexor retinaculum is something we rarely see so we’re getting an opinion from a specialist about the best way forward in managing that.”
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Matthew Boyd fighting to start Western Bulldogs’ flag defence after after suffering severe ear laceration

    GLENN McFARLANE, Herald Sun


    WESTERN Bulldogs defender Matthew Boyd is wearing a helmet in a bid to prove his fitness for Friday week’s Round 1 game against Collingwood because of an ear *!laceration a club doctor *!likened to a dog bite.

    Boyd suffered the injury in last Thursday night’s JLT Community Series game against Gold Coast when the point of Peter Wright’s elbow accidentally connected with his right ear.

    The impact caused a tear that required *!reconstructive surgery.

    Speaking for the first time about the injury, the 34-year-old said the collision left him bloodied and dazed, and he is grateful for the care of medical staff and surgeons.

    “I just went back with the flight of the ball,’’ Boyd told the Herald Sun.

    “I knew there was a contest there, but I was committed to it. ‘Two-Metre Peter’ (Wright was about a metre higher than me and he came straight down on my ear (with his elbow). It just sort of burst open the ear.

    “I was a bit dazed after that, but the doctor (Gary Zimmerman) and the trainer Frankie were out there pretty quickly.
    “I had a towel over my head (in the rooms) and there was a lot of blood.

    “I was lying (down) and ‘Zimmer’ was talking about it and saying it looked like a dog bite, and I was like, ‘I can hear you. I am not deaf’.’’

    “It was throbbing. It felt like it was hanging (off), even though it probably wasn’t,” Boyd said.
    Boyd was operated on that night and has seen a surgeon every second day as part of a rehabilitation geared to playing in Round 1.

    He will have the stitches for the next few weeks, but when he asked the surgeon how many there were, he was told: “Don’t ask. There were too many of them to count.”

    Boyd wore a rugby union helmet that *!covers the ears to training for the first time *!yesterday. He will probably wear it for at least a month.

    “I’m fine to wear it ... if the difference of wearing it and not wearing it is potentially losing the top half of your ear,” he said.

    “We’ve got CD (Caleb Daniel) who is a little jet in his helmet. The boys had a bit of a laugh about it, but I’ve tried it out now and feel fine.”

    It’s the first time he has donned a helmet since he was a kid at Narre Warren and his mother made him wear one if he wanted to play.

    Boyd missed the first two pre-season games *!because of knee soreness. He played three quarters against the Suns and hopes he will have enough condition to play next week.

    “I am training like I will play (in Round 1),” Boyd said.
    “I had a couple of days on light duties, but I’ve trained (Wednesday) and I will train again on Friday.

    “Because (the injury) is all cartilage, it is going to be sensitive for a while. I can’t sleep on my side yet and can’t roll over on it. I have to wear a bit of a headband to go to bed. It’s nothing major, just a bit of a flesh wound.”

    Boyd, Campbell cleared for selection

    Defender Matthew Boyd and ruckman Tom Campbell have been cleared for selection ahead of this week's season opening game against Collingwood at the MCG on Friday night.

    Medical Services Manager Chris Bell said a severe laceration received by Boyd in the Bulldogs' JLT Community Series win over Gold Coast had healed well.

    "Boyd sustained a severe laceration to his ear in the game. The stitches have since been removed and the ear's healed really well. He's back into full training mode and available to play this week."

    Meanwhile, Tom Campbell, who rolled his ankle in an intra-club match several weeks ago, has also recovered well, said Bell.

    "Tom's completed the final stages of his rehabilitation following his ankle injury. He's resumed full training and will be available this week."

    Campbell's fellow ruckmen Jordan Roughead and first-year player Tim English are also in recovery mode.

    Roughead sustained an unusual injury - an avulsion of three tendons to the inside part of his knee - in the Bulldogs opening JLT match against Melbourne, but his rehabilitation is progressing well.

    "Jordan has progressed well from his injury. He started running today and he'll be systematically progressed over the next couple of weeks, so we can be more accurate with his return to play timeline in the next few weeks.

    English pulled up sore after the Bulldogs' VFL recent hit-out against Richmond and will be given time to recover.

    "Tim has sustained some minor bony soreness to the inside part of his shin following the last VFL game. He'll be managed conservatively, and that will involve a period of time off legs, and he'll be assessed in the coming days [with a view] to return to some training."
