He probably was but he was unavailable due to an infected foot/leg

This intrigues me. I would assume a foot/leg infection is just an infection to the skin (ie a wound) and with a course of antibiotics could be back to normal within the week.

Unless it's within the blood or something which would be much more serious...

Unless a resident expert can tell me otherwise? The Royal Sampler or anyone?

I have no idea about his circumstances but my wife was scratched by a cat and ended up in the hospital three days later. She was right as rain in a matter of days

Infection of the skin is cellulitis and it can be mild to severe. In this instance almost certainly there is a wound or laceration to the foot which is where the breach in the skin occurs and the bacteria get in. Towards the periphery there is less robust blood supply which is everything when it comes to preventing infection. See someone get a head laceration and is bleeds profusely, these areas rarely get infected. The foot is more of a risk. In a fit young man though there needs to be a significant initial insult. So once the cellulitis sets in antibiotics are use but the wound may need to be debrided, any infected collection drained etc so all that can delay healing and return to normal activity

But cellulitis can be severe without getting into the blood.

I was just about to post the same thing;)

It's barely 9am, and thanks to three posters, I have become almost expert in cellulitis, grading muscle tears and setting up incentive and behavioural based contracts. What a wealth of knowledge is available to be consumed from fellow posters.

Its a believing audience

True - but the reality is - this is often countered by other gumpff which appears from time to time

Why do I feel like someone is about to ask me for my Medicare card?

This hurt... two cartons of beer delivered to a Geelong supporting mate for our loss (was trying to find cartons of Geelong Bitter... but to no avail)
 
I don’t know if this has been brought up previously and it’s quite blasphemes of me to even say, but 3 things that annoyed me about Fly -

1, Kreuger as the medisub. Carmichael was a perfect sub for the type of game it was going to be, and it was. Couldn’t understand this.
Worried Miocheck could not play the Full Game
 
Watched the replay today and there was 3 times after we kicked a goal to give us some breathing space, the cats immediately got one back, the last one being Rohan's pack mark and goal in the final quarter. Each time Cameron was in the ruck. I feel that Cox gives a better contest in the ruck and stops more decisive clearances. Would like to see Cox take more centre bounces relative to Cameron.
 
Neither did the media. They cover their arses by conveniently focusing on the game and not mentioning their pre match expert opinions.
David King is a classic example.
His stats are meaningless as has been shown repeatedly. Without them he has nothing to say.
I love how on 360 they highlight the Ginnivan tackle on danger yet absolutely no mention on Toughy ripping his head off in a headlock.
More Ginni bias from 360.

Yes. Cox seems more likely to get hands on the pill at the centre bounce but having watched a replay of the game Cameron was fantastic. He has mulitple second efforts and countless tap- ons and was generally very involved. That delicate kick by Cox to Nick Daicos was magnificent. Both boys were good I thought and have been all year.
