Saw the incident. It wasn't late in training, was about half way though.

Happened in match sim. A late-ish bump after he kicked.

Who bumped him?

I need names.

 

[Hojuman]

Greenwood.

Delete, Delete, Delete.

Initially looked winded, then walked off rubbing his shoulder. Sat on the bench for 5 mins then went into the rooms for the rest of the session.

About 5 mins earlier Xerri also trod on his foot (cue horror Drew Petrie flashbacks) after spear tackling Georgie Payne (sending him off with blood streaming from the nose).

Shit news on George but the boys are hungry.

Fair enough football gods, after the gluttony of almost winning two games it was time to bring us back to heel.
Don't want us getting too far ahead of ourselves......

How many weeks would Greenwood get if this was in a game?

 

[Themanbun]

Bigfooty: our training isn't intense and standards need to lift

Also bigfooty: WHY are they training rough???!?!?

Zero. Be lucky to be a down field free. Nothing in it.

And the Footy Gods weave their magic over the NMFC once again.

Those same gods gave us a depleted Collingwood and Melbourne tbf

Its generally "tell em to bring their mouthguards"

X is a psycho, I love it. Frustrating for George but he'll be fine, we're still a chance if Bont doesn't play. If he does it's over.

 

[King Hansen]

Good chance to give his body and legs a rest. Freshen up and end the season with a bang!

Thanks. Sounds like just an accident and not careless, Greenwood being overzealous etc. Just bad luck. The fact he walked off hopefully a sign it is not a serious one and the symptoms clear quickly.

Has any other player ever been ruled out for concussion from training. We are so unlucky.

Missing two weeks. How many blokes from any club get a concussion at training?

Aiden O'Driscoll copped a bad one in training and has had to retire. Also recall CCJ getting one in training too. Does happen unfortunately.

Freaks me out, that story. Poor kid.

Yeah, me too. Agree hope he is doing ok now.

From the article this is interesting and something like this further adds weight to it...

Stringent stances on dangerous tackles and bumping are in effect, while the idea of limiting contact training at clubs continues to be considered.

Man, such a shame but as long as he is ok.
