My apologies, the 2017 preaseason thread. Club since pouring water on calf injury claim.
Surely our medical staff have better techniques to treat injury than just pouring water on the players leg. No wonder we are going backwards!!!

My apologies, the 2017 preaseason thread. Club since pouring water on calf injury claim.
I don't need too I know what took place cobsidering I broke the initial news of his back injury...
You'd be correct it would have been Balme. Denial was his stock and trade.
FWIW before we get the usual suspects coming in over the top of BJ to assure us everything is fine (looking at you BP and NS) we already know it is
Most North people don't, at least not myself anyway. This is something you are going to have to put up with Daniel, he will miss a game or two here or there because of soreness or a minor (leg) strain, but he'll play most games in a season without an issue, just not every game of all three seasons that are contracted.
Why would our staff be better than norths? This pick up was nothing but a desperate attempt by Buckley to save his job.
Thanks Sco - I can accordingly confirm that there is no alarm. While I cannot disclose the exact nature for the reason he left the field, I can assure you it is one of the list below:
- sock tangle
- foot blister
- testicle bruise
- sphincter ache
- jock itch
- Call from mistress
- call from broker
DANIEL Wells left the track early at Collingwood on Friday but the club has rejected reports that the new Pie has suffered a calf injury.
The former Kangaroo only took part in light drills at today’s training session at Olympic Park before heading inside.
It was reported that the goalkicking midfielder had sustained a calf injury but the Magpies are adamant that is not the case.
Rather, Wells is on a modified program until Christmas and Collingwood said that today is not one of his designated training days.
Jamie Elliott took part in running drills as he continues his long recovery from a back injury while Ben Reid also ran away from the main group with his left knee strapped.
Just looked up and the sky is still there.
It's a reasonable explanation, but unfortunately the club doesn't have the runs on the board in regards to honesty about injuries, particularly to high profile players, in recent times.
My take is that he's probably tweaked his calf, certainly not seriously, and not badly enough to get upset over, particularly given the time of the year. The guy has been in the AFL system for over a decade, so it's not like he's going to be adversely affected by a couple of weeks recovery (if that) when he is reportedly on a modified program already anyway.
It certainly doesn't seem like anything to get worked up over. Some of the early reactions were way over the top.
Send him to Ben Reid's 'miracle worker' ballet teacher. I'm serious.
Drink it, steep groinal area in a cup of cider or soak jocks in it & absorb through skin slowly over the course of a day?I recommend Apple Cider Vinegar for jock itch, works a treat.

1 cup water 1tsp bicarb 1tbs apple cider vinegar (with the mother) stir and scull.I drink it twice a day. Tastes like shit but is great for my digestion. You can also rub it on things like jock itch and skin tags.

"Ben Reid is not injured, he's just being rested as per his program" - Neil Balme, Feb 2016.Is that more about the inexact nature of assessing injuries and projecting likely recovery periods. I'm not sure there's a deliberate attempt to mislead, just a communication of things as they stand when these announcements are made that people then interpret to mean more.

I'm not talking about inaccurate estimates, I'm talking about flat out lies.
"There was a slight mixup, the surgeons accidentally amputated the wrong leg, but they were able to quickly rectify the situation by amputating the correct leg as well."

I wouldn't count on it. Bucks is known to be a no show. Like how he didn't turn up when North thought he was going to play for them. Or when he didn't turn up when North thought he was going to coach them. Or how he convinced Aish not to turn up when you guys made a big play for him.Yes, if Bucks and the players turn up next year you'll be set.

It's a big issue when a player of his age does a calf though (if he has of course), they don't call it the old mans injury for nothing, fingers crossed anyway.So therefore all "minor" calf tweaks are the same? Not relevant is it, particularly for Wells who has managed to play 245 games?
Thing is North have long been held in high esteem for the brilliant job their sports science/physio department does, and even in that situation Wells had plenty of issues, hardly surprising that under our bottom percentile department there's an issue already.
Donarvoron probably just looked at him sideways and he pinged his calf.
