Injury Waters out for the season

[Marlin01]

A post-op infection that is left to fester to the point of causing permanent damage to a substantial amount of the surrounding tissue. Either Beau was keeping very quiet about a hell of a lot of pain or someone should be sacked.

 

[Wosh]

All the beat Beau, a very very much loved and respected Eagle

 

[Jarlcorbz]

And by 29 he would have barely played in 2 years, in the mean time our defence is getting stronger. You really think he can just walk back in?

He's better when he's fit than anyone else who can play in his position in the side IMO.

 

[Adzam]

it was sounding suspect. tough call, tough guy. careers looking shaky. hope he makes it back, and has a crackerjack season 2015 - might be in time for a GF?

True. Just a shame he won't be able to play apart in this years flag win

Where does it say that it was "left to fester"? When it got infected the undid some of the reconstruction and he's been hopefull of playing this season before having it tightened up again at years end. Unfortunately it popped out at training, signifying that it won't sustain an AFL match.

Should have got the surgery a long long time ago, this was always going to happen. Poor management IMO.

He'll be back next year.

He had the op in the off season, but it got infected (which isn't that uncommon). It would have definately wiped out the first half of the seaon for him if he was to have had another op straight away.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Disappointing for him but not a big loss for us, we've moved on as a club. Hurn out for longer would be more devastating.

As if Beau would keep persisting through all these injuries and then retire now. He'll be back.

Might not have a choice, it's the last year of his contract isn't it? The club may pull him aside and then we'll have a situation a la Nico.

Reports saying the club have begged him to not retire.

 

[TOA.]

Disappointing news.

I cant help but feel this has been very poorly managed by the club but life goes on. Hopefully we learn from it.

 

[Piss Poor]

sad news- when he was up he was really good, tough, courageous which is what we need, cant see him going on next year, sort of like Nikoski, just cant get his body right, hopefully he stays around the club in some form because he is a great leader.

Look at Brown for Collingwood. His shoulder popped out last week but he plans to go on and not have an op. It happens all the time.

Just bad luck that the infection happened to begin with and that it popped out at training again.

Reports saying that Simpson has bought a house in Melbourne and enrolled his kids into school too!

 

[Doughboy]

Sorry to hear for Waters...

Big loss for the side, not only on the field, but off it too. Hope he can go around one more time next year

 

[ioppolo]

Reckon he's done now

Just saying what I heard...
