From BF

Roughy's injury is where the hammy attaches to the knee, still unsure if it will need surgery

Who is BF and where is their source.

Then it's a tendon injury? That's less worse.

I'm not even sure where the tendon attaches to the kneebone. Is it at the side or the bottom bit of the middle?

When you think about it rationally it's not normal that we just get over the fact that a percentage of our employees will be recovering from major impact injurys-major concussions, having their face ripped off, jaws and other bones broken-and it's quite usual to have 2 or 3 guys nursing knee reconstructions and all acquired in the normal performance of their duties.

It's a weird, weird industry.

Roughead out for at least 8 weeks. He has had surgery for Hamstring injury.

Bad timing for Roughy just when he looked like he was coming into his prime and had found his true position in the ruck. Hopefully back for the second half of the season if he will only commence training in 8 weeks?

Roughead sidelined

Western Bulldogs ruckman Jordan Roughead has undergone successful surgery last night to a hamstring injury sustained during the opening term of Saturday’s JLT Community Series clash Melbourne.

The 26-year-old is expected to resume training in approximately eight weeks according to Head Physiotherapist Chris Bell.

“Jordan sustained a hamstring tendon injury to the area the tendon inserts on the back of his knee, during a ruck contest on the weekend and has subsequently undergone surgery,” Bell told westernbulldogs.com.au.

“We expect he’ll resume full training in approximately eight weeks.”

Roughead played 25 games in 2016, his highest total in a season, and recorded career highs in disposals, contested possessions, contested marks, goals, goal assists, inside 50s and tackles.

If returned to full training in 8 weeks, and was hypothetically back 3 weeks later after a VFL match or two, then that's AFEL round 7 or 8.

Not great news, but over to you TC... A big chance to show your worth.

Re: Injury List - Preseason 2017

TC was preferred for round 1 last year until injured wasn't he?
He gets an extended run at it to really assess where he's at.

Re: Injury List - Preseason 2017

Yeah - TC has never had any luck really. Whenever he has gotten himself into the team consistently, an injury has taken him out.
Hopefully he can make a good fist of the spot for the first 7 or 8 rounds, and stay healthy.

Can you please refrain from referring to the AFL as the AFEL? It's very annoying.

That extra single letter annoys you very much?

How is it annoying?

Re: Injury List - Preseason 2017

Dissapointing to get an injury so early on in our premiership defence but he'll be back before you know it. I was fearing he could have done a knee but it wasn't a knee and was less serious although players who do a knee now come back and can do quite well as 20-25 years ago a knee injury was career ending.

Tom Campbell get the opportunity now. Will be keen to see how he goes? Will the ruck load be shared around somewhat? We know Tom Boyd is pretty good there and we might see Tim English there as well.

This post reminds me of a story from the Bodyline series.

English skipper Douglas Jardine approached his Aussie counterpart Bill Woodful that an Aussie fielder had called him a bastard.

Woodful promptly called out "Right, which one of you bastards called this bastard a bastard?"
