If this is the reason, then I don't think it is being communicated very effectively…Bernard Shakey wrote: He wasn't picked this week because he hurt the shoulder two weeks ago in the intraclub, not because Richo doesn't want to play him.

So you don't think they had it xrayed? I will bet they did. They get xrays for more minor things than that and considering he had previous trouble with it I would say it was certain they did.
I'm no authority on the topic but I've had plenty of ankle injuries and have had ultrasounds to identify ligament damage, x-rays to my knowledge can only identify broken/fractured bones.8856brother wrote:Do x-rays show if a ligament, or ligaments have been stretched? I don't know the answer to that. I have had a shoulder reco, and when your shoulder is not dislocated it feels ok. But once your ligaments are stretched your shoulder tends to pop out quite easily. Mine used to pop out sometimes closing a door. Not sure of the circumstances behind Markworth's injury this week. Once there's damage, it only gets worse.plugger66 wrote:8856brother wrote:Regardless of how careful and diligent the club have been, shoulders don't generally just pop out unless there is damage there already, and ligaments and tendons have already been stretched.

You will be right though.
Same question. Does an x-ray show ligament damage?tony74 wrote:plugger66 wrote:8856brother wrote:Regardless of how careful and diligent the club have been, shoulders don't generally just pop out unless there is damage there already, and ligaments and tendons have already been stretched.

It's been xrayed twice in the last four days. Pluggers right.

Jarred needed a hip replacement in his early 20s. Markworth seems to have a body that lets him down. last I heard Jarrad had cut fingers off doing his trade work so played country footy with a plastic bag tied over the bandages. Daniel is a very smart kid doing bio medicine and has a pretty solid future if footy doesn't take him where it should. I feel more for Allen than Daniel, Jarrad shattered the whole joint in his hip like something from a serious car crash. He had a huge medical bill and needed to invent a future for himself. I think if Daniel left footy he would pretty quickly go to a highly paid career.oldie60 wrote:I just hope the kid isn't a recent version of Jarryd Allen.Poor kids who show promise and get tested both physically and mentally. Even with today's medical advances an individual will question as to why he should keep going. I hope both he and the club see it out and he gets a few years of football out of himself. Keep your head up son.
I would hope that if his career is over that the club looks after him, the Jarryd Allen story is a disgraceoldie60 wrote:I just hope the kid isn't a recent version of Jarryd Allen.Poor kids who show promise and get tested both physically and mentally.

this could be on purpose though as from what I can gather Richo has been trying the tough-love approach with Daniel, probably trying to fire him up.
