Biggest problem was those missed goals from 30-35m directly in front... Kosi, Jones, Blake...

Oh, and allowing them to rebound so easily.

Yep, and it isn't as if they both tore the tendon to the exact same extent...

Sunday twilight games and Monday night games would've meant that I could attend a lot more games when I played footy from under 9s to under 17s.... missed a lot of Sunday games.

Just saying that when waiting for an assessment time flies past...

Not with a significant assessment on Tuesday!

We missed a few easy shots before those 5 mins these.. About 3 easy ones and Dal's difficult but close shot on the wrong side.

It would be wonderful if he could say he went through his high school years without seeing Carlton beat St Kilda. I know I certainly can't say that.

I did!

Whatever + Saints jumper and scarf dependant of the weather.

Exactly what I thought as I was reading it now..

There's something creepy about Williams ..I'm glad he wasn't considered to coach us, he's a nutter. Post match, he was making comparisons with his players and the ANZACS! Oh, Puh-leeease He has a crazy, devil like look about him when he gets angry... He didn't seriously!? I left the room as soon as...

He was rucking at some point.. don't think it was for very long though.

Yes he was ill...

He won in the air but after that wasn't amazing... he was FAR from our worst... the zoning and flooding is important in minimising one on one contests where we can be exposed.

But the gap between the VFL and the AFL is immense...

Should've definitely taken that mark but in most other cases the entry in to the 50 was pitiful...

Roo could've taken that mark and kicked it crutches and all...

Thanks Ralphy.

Stupid thing to say. We cannot win a premiership without him firing.

An articular ligament connects bone to bone... A tendon connects muscle to bone/bone to muscle. Roo injured the latter. The hamstring muscles are susceptible to injury when they rapidly stretched whilst acting over two joints. Generally an avulsion fracture would've been better to repair than someth...

Tendons are really very strong so it takes a bit to injure them, they are harder to strain than ligaments. Have a feel at the size of one of your Achilles... Anyone who has had the opportunity to properly examine of a tendon will have noticed this. Annoyingly the term avulsion reminds me of somethin...

Give it a fortnight, then we'll have an idea.

if it is a 4 month injury what will two weeks do?

It will give a better indication on how the surgery went and how the tear is healing
