Anyone know why Dunkley returned to the field?

Re: Anyone know why Dunkley returned to the field?

We have such a weird history of doing so. Does anybody remember a similiar scenario happening with us where we actually benefitted by the player playing on injured? The closest I can think of off the top of my head is Koby Stevens playing out the game in Darwin, and I'm pretty sure his was a hammy or something?

Yeah, I do, I think it was his quad.

Yeah, I do, I think it was his quad.

And even then we hid him at full forward.

For all we know it could have been like this:
Dunks"Doc how is it?"
DOC"Sorry Dunks your going need surgery"
Dunks"It feels ok can I make it any worse if I go back out"
DOC"No but do you really want to?"
Dunks" Lets give a shot and see how it goes"

Far be it from me to question the medical staff as I haven't even purchased a dodgy doctorate online, but if this is true it would counter the argument that the medicos knew straight away Josh would need surgery:

“Although we were initially optimistic that Josh may be able to avoid surgery, subsequent scans have confirmed the best way to manage Josh in the short-to-medium term is to have a full shoulder reconstruction,” head of sports medicine, Chris Bell, said.

Monti's concussion in the EF against Collingwood

That is 2006.

All teams did stuff like that then.

Dunks was on the ESPN footy podcast this week and they went in depth on his injury and the decision making about returning to the field. Basically, he was informed that surgery was the likely option after the first incident and after some range of motion testing led to sufficient strength and no pain, he was able to return to the field. He reckons he wouldn't have attempted to punch the ball if he was in pain. Didn't seem to be any issue with our medicos based on what he was saying.

He said much the same thing on Triple M last Sunday.

That's what I would have expected. No pain and he was going under the knife anyways so might as well see if he can play out the game with the shoulder reset.

Easton Wood on the Barkly Street podcast said that Dunkley is Morris level tough and would have insisted on going back on. He also said that Dunkley played with a broken rib last year

He played with a broken rib late in 2019 courtesy of a cheap shot by Mitch Robinson... his lessened impact in the EF was no doubt as a result of the discomfort he felt.

Yes but he's of questionable character and commitment.
