Re: The League Injuries Thread

Holman needed stomach surgery after our game, apparently happened in a collision with Bontempelli in the first quarter.

Pretty tough to solider on, adrenaline is an amazing thing.

Is there an AFL Upper GI Ward up in Queensland with this and Martin still in hospital with a lacerated kidney?

I can’t remember two serious injuries like this in under 24 hours, let alone in a season.

Terrible to hear about serious injuries like this - doesn't matter who they play for.

Mentioned in the Syd Freo match that Freo have used the 2nd most players in the comp. Second to the Bulldogs... who've done it by choice.

Not so sure we've had that much choice about it. Just because we dropped Wallis and Croz doesn't mean we haven't taken a huge whack from the injury stick

Yeah really annoying. Of the relevant sides we’ve easily had it toughest with injuries.

Freo with shocking injuries today. Fyfe shoulder again, Walters hamstring.

I wonder how our season would have gone if the medical sub hadn't been brought in 48 hours before it started. We've had to make good use of it on a regular basis.

The medi sub has been a good inclusion. It means that even losing Keath early we weren't a man down until Richards got concussed.
Had we been down to two players I suspect it would have been a lot harder to close out the game.

If he’s out for finals, that is massive.

No pre finals bye, if that happens, would make things harder for him to get back too. Of even keeping fitness ready for finals.

NORTH Melbourne gun Jaidyn Stephenson has broken his hip after falling from his bike after drinking in his home on Friday.

Stephenson was admitted to hospital and will be assessed by a surgeon after suffering a small fracture when he fell from his mountain bike on a hard surface in his backyard.

The 22-year-old had been drinking with housemates in his backyard when the accident happened.

“Jaidyn’s pretty flat at the moment and he’s a bit sick and sorry,” North GM football Brady Rawlings said.

“After having had drinks at home with his housemates, he attempted to perform a trick on his mountain bike off the back deck. He lost balance and fell onto a concrete paver.

“Initially, after the accident, Jaidyn was able to walk but the pain progressed to a point that an ambulance was called.

“He was kept in overnight and he looks like he might be laid up for a while. At this stage he’ll have a stay in hospital while his surgeon decides whether he’ll need surgery.

“It puts a dampener on what was a promising season for Jaidyn. We’re disappointed with his poor judgment and his reckless action has resulted in quite a painful injury for him.”

Stephenson enjoyed a stellar debut season at North Melbourne, averaging a tick under 20 disposals per game and kicking 17 goals.

He was traded to the Roos after three years at Collingwood where he was the 2018 NAB AFL Rising Star.

St Kilda defender Nick Coffield has suffered a suspected anterior cruciate ligament rupture in an innocuous training incident on Friday.

Poor guy. Bulldogs supporter as a kid too. Had a tough start to his career but nailed down his spot in the second half of 2021.

St Kilda defender Nick Coffield has suffered a suspected anterior cruciate ligament rupture in an innocuous training incident on Friday.

As Mofra said, it's a tough break for a youngster who looked like he had just established himself as a senior footballer.
