No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

[I got the outside word]

After Papley takes the mark and drops the ball while walking back then the ball makes contact with his foot, is that technically play on? Genuine question because I don’t know if there is any kind of rule there or not.

 

[extractasam]

Sydney are surely flag favourites

Have to be. Swans/GWS/Carlton the only 3 sides I consider to be playing footy that wins finals. It’d surprise me if the premier came outside of those 3

 

[MightyHawks]

Sydney are surely flag favourites

Swans would be favourites to lose the Grand Final.

and the way he addressed it was so passive aggressive and condescending. Really gets on my goat.

What is the Hawkins talk? Did I miss something?

They could have used Hawkins tonight to be fair

Ugh! Sydney v Carlton would be the end of life as we know it.

Has always been like that even in his playing days.

Is it me or is there a media black out on Cameron not coming off for HIA, he was clearly not right. They get protected in every way. No media asked the question in the presser last night too

 

[hfc70]

Got a copy of this weeks State Budget. Showed the proposed new Cats Stadium scoreboard. (Cost$4,000,000.00) They are allowed to keep the change to use however they want too.

I don’t even understand how it works. The doc went out and was asking him how he felt after it, Cameron clearly saying I’m fine etc. Why does the players personal judgement even get a say? It should be sorry mate you’re off the ground no questions asked

Highly influential international concussion ‘doctor’ from Melbourne with various sporting ties including AFL… pretty much founded Concussion in Sport Group who run conferences the AFL attend. Makdissi, his student.

They discussed it for a fair while after the game on Fox footy.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

It might not apply to players who want to get back on the park ASAP, but still a very interesting read.

Quite remarkable, I hope this saves a lot of careers.

 

[Fleabane]

Yeah, it was odd. I didn't think it was up to the player to decide whether they have to leave the field.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Particularly for kids. They have a very long life ahead. All my friends who have had surgery really feel it later in life.

Hahahaah some of nightmares best

 

[Howe Amazing]

The other game Blakey came off for a HIA but they were winning comfortably but it can’t be what is happening in the game

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

Yep, any means of getting a better result without invasive surgery is huge.

Thanks for the share it's a very interesting read. In regard to when Mitch Lewis hurt his ACL in 2023 which at the time was reported as a sprained ACL. In relation to this article where they grade the healing results into five categories I wonder if the sprain that Lewis had has made the the ligament less taut which would mean the knee mechanism is now less stable.

The 5 healing categories:

1. Gold medal — full thickness and fully taut, aka you have your old ACL back
2. Silver medal — full thickness but elongated
3. Bronze medal — reduced thickness but taut
4. Off the podium — reduced thickness and elongated
5. No healing at all

Here's the article from when Lewis sprained his ACL with which I feel all the problems started:

Injury update: Lewis to miss start of 2023

Hawks forward Mitch Lewis is set to miss at least the first month of the 2023 season due to a knee injury.

The doc spoke to Cameron…

Decision via post media pressure.

playing so well . Looked like he would be a superstar at Melbourne, then fell away to disaster at Freo and now right up there in the Coleman hunt and playing great footy in a contender. Giants got a steal

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Geelong got done unexpectedly.
We had a win

If Essendon can get embarrassed by GWS I'll sleep especially well
