The double bounce will get you every time.
Freak injuries suck.
I mean we all go surfing, trampoline, hell I’ve been doing water slides the last weekend.
The fact it happens professionally must suck.

A photo of Odin Jones along with a heading, something like, strange or unusual injury.Thinking that the story would tell me something about the Odin story, I began reading,
Smashed me in the face, WTF do you think they wrote about!!!!!

His plan would have worked, if it wasn't for you meddling kids.

There was a guy in Mandurah showing off on a tramp in front of his daughters.
He snapped his neck.
Those things are ****ing dangerous.

It's hardly surprising really.
He was jogging laps yesterday so seems to be making good progress.

Freo won’t put timeline on Darcy’s return from knee surgery
Fremantle ruckman Sean Darcy is not expected to enter main training until after Christmas and is no certainty to be available for round one as the star recovers from knee surgery.

Fremantle ruckman Sean Darcy being eased back from knee surgery while Luke Jackson has interrupted off-season
Fremantle have promised to take a conservative approach to ruckman Sean Darcy’s recovery from knee surgery, with the star not expected to enter main training until after Christmas and no certainty to be available for round one.
Darcy missed the last three games of the season, then had knee surgery and the Doig medallist was training by himself when the full squad returned on Monday.
Fremantle footy boss Joe Brierty said Darcy’s history of knee problems meant they had to do everything possible to ensure this is his last major stint on the sidelines.
“He’s on track with the program that we’ve implemented. It was obviously a significant injury and there’s a few things around Sean’s knee we need to continue to work with,” Brierty explained.
“Surgery was a success. He hasn’t been able to implement the running program at the beginning because that’s obviously a fair way back. It’s the stability that’s a priority.
“We’ve engaged a bio-mechanist who has been assisting us with that program in the gym for Sean. He’s been really diligent with the way that he’s applied himself.
“I feel like we’re on top of it and now it’s about making sure we are consistent with the application to the program that is set. Seany plays a big part in that. We feel like when he’s fit and firing, we are a very formidable force from a midfield perspective.”
The Dockers are so determined to get Darcy healthy that Brierty said they wouldn’t be rushing any part of his recovery just so he could play in round one.
“If he’s not ready to go for round one then we’ll look to work through that. He needs to make sure he can tick every box and be up and going,” Brierty said.
“This is a thing that’s not about the short term. It’s long term and making sure we get the most out of Sean from a career point of view.”
Darcy’s ruck partner Luke Jackson also had an interrupted off-season after having his tonsils removed. Jackson was unable to run following the surgery and laboured through the fitness testing on Monday
Brierty revealed the club had asked Jackson to put on weight during the break which also meant he would take time to re-build his running fitness.
“He’s put on some weight in the off-season and he had his tonsils out so you can’t run for period of time with that. He’s had an interrupted off-season. A big priority for him was to put a few kilos on so it doesn’t surprise me that he was one who was slower to take off (on Monday),” Brierty said.
“He was getting sick during the season. There were a few games where he was unwell. He had some enlarged tonsils and the best action is to remove them so you don’t have to worry about them during the year and he’s not missing games.”
The Dockers officially added Quinton Narkle to list through the pre-season supplemental period on Monday but he trained indoors. Star recruit Shai Bolton will fly to Perth on Wednesday and start training on Friday.
He is a later arrival after remaining in Victoria for the birth of his second child.

I wouldn't have thought Jacko would need to put on more weight?
Not for a midfield role you'd have thought.
We bought a unicorn and turned him into a draft horse.

Yep, and for the ruck, gets manhandled at times.
I must say the descriptions of Darcy’s knee issue and the extent to which his training has to be modified does not fill me with huge confidence on his prospects of playing another 100 games over the next 5 years or so but I guess we’ll just have to trust the medicos and see what happens.
