Poor Tom Symonds

[Guest]

2-4 weeks is a great result...means we'll be seeing the likes of him and JWH fighting for inclusion into the starting side...what a great position for Smith to have all these blokes playing out of their skins to make the side...

Bruised bones? Never heard that one before.

Wishing Tom a speedy, complication free and full recovery over the coming weeks. Unfortunately, I have to punt him from my Fantasy team.

Awesome news for Tom and the side. He was having a great game to that point.

When he clutched his knee I swore so loud the dog flew out the gauze door with a crash and the cat hot on his heels. They know when to leave the room...

Chook.

You sure it was the animals not the kids

Injury Update
15/03/2010 1:02:10 PM
Tom Symonds has undergone scans on his injured knee that have revealed he is only suffering from bruised bones.


The news comes as a great relief to the Club after it was suspected he had torn his medial ligament.

The scans indicated no damage to any ligaments and he is expected to miss 3-4 weeks.

Braith Anasta (concussion) and James Aubusson (thigh cork) are expected to be fully fit for this weekend.

I think the club is being a little optimistic about Symond's injury, it is very similar to an injury Stephen Gilham the Hawthorn(AFL) defender did last year, much like Symonds he didn't have ligament damage but bone bruising the problem being everytime they stepped up his training the knee would swell dramatically causing him to be stood down from training again, by the time the injury settled down it was around 5 months.

it is certainly great news that there is no significant ligament damage.

I have had bone bruising when I did my knee. The post above me is spot on. It leaves the area very tender after every run.

Hopefully, his one isn't as bad.

Even though I had extensive physio, I'm sure the level of treatment these guys get is heads and shoulders above what a Joe sshmoe like me would get.

Good to hear its not too serious. I was worried it was season ending. it didn't look too good.

With my herd it's difficult to tell them apart sometimes, especially around feeding time

Chook.

I don't think I have watched a game where Symonds hasn't made a line break or been in the clear at some point

He definately has that Menziesness about his play. Can sniff out a gap like very few forwards, has good pace for his size and can tackle oldskool style.

Id like to hope Ricko has done some work with the kid mate.

Being an ex-United boy himself he must be wrapped in TommyGunns progress.

I never played for United, only against them. Most of my mates played for Bums and Undies, I always loved that nic.
