Reports?? he has broken both tibia and fibula. Thats a big injury. No wonder they say season.

alex.f.94 · January 11, 2019, 3:47am

Fark him

theDJR · January 11, 2019, 3:49am

I honestly can’t remember if he actually won the Brownlow last year.

Sameolds2010 · January 11, 2019, 4:05am

As a player and a human being playing out his dreams at the highest level for a very brief period of his lifetime I feel sorrow and compassion

But hawthorn can get fkd

Aceman · January 11, 2019, 4:08am

Will play us whilst still on crutches, Woosha won’t tag him again and he will have 57 handballs

Scintilla · January 11, 2019, 4:29am

Nice word

handypoint · January 11, 2019, 4:41am

Geez the hawks will be hoping they can get Scully fit now.

■■■■ luck. Would be like us losing Hepp or Zmerrett.

Lance84 · January 11, 2019, 4:47am

They could really use Dylan Shiel right about now.

Kj_11 · January 11, 2019, 4:53am

Weren’t people already saying, that despite being ok with the medical, his recovery would see him well into the season. Which basically mean’t the whole year to get right fitness wise.

Don’t think he will be much help to them for this.

Lance84 · January 11, 2019, 4:59am

Yep. Word on Scully is MAYBE second half of season. He isn’t the guy that will fix this problem.

handypoint · January 11, 2019, 5:04am

Jaeger’s knees better hold up or they are up the creek.

sweatyman · January 11, 2019, 5:06am

Ship Creek?

Lance84 · January 11, 2019, 5:11am

They are regardless. Their lack of depth is really going to bite them in the ■■■. I still question whether Jaeger is as good as everybody says he is, i don’t think i’d have him in my top 30 mids in the comp. I’ll wait until he can put together a full season to judge though.

Speedy_Gonzales · January 11, 2019, 5:37am

Wingard is going to be thrown into the deep end as an almost full time mid. It’s what he wanted now it becomes a necessity

Birch19 · January 11, 2019, 5:37am

Yep, will be Wingard put in the guts full time to cover the hole.

Stressed_out · January 11, 2019, 5:38am

Wingard as a fulltime mid is going to seriously weaken their forwardline.

barry_day · January 11, 2019, 5:55am

And there’s no guarantees he will work out as a full time mid either.

hambo · January 11, 2019, 5:56am

If he’s snapped the tib/fib clean in two like my son did he’ll need a steel rod. That means you can bear weight very quickly because the leg is supported by the rod and screws at each end. Getting the confidence back could take quite a while.

theDJR · January 11, 2019, 5:57am

Hopefully they push too hard and they break him and he sues them into non-existence.

Lance84 · January 11, 2019, 5:58am

He hasn’t ever been in their forwardline though. It wont be any worse than last year. And he certainly has the talent to play in the guts full time. Will be interesting to watch it all unfold.
