The 2012 injury thread

[grarmy]

Cords should be skills coaching not tweeting! The team sorely misses the artistry and reliability of Neil Cordy. A wonderful footballer, incredible foot skills of a guy who could make the oval ball his own. His kicking was exquisite: pinpoint accuracy, wonderful foot to ball coordination, a ballerina's touch that made it all look so effortless and easy. We all wanted to play like Kelly, have the presence of Lockett, dexterity of Goodes. But oh boy, to kick the ball like Cords.

ROK, Rohan, Spang and Brown is that the injury list?

Given that the Alex Brown news has been on the club website and RWO for nine days, good advice!

Yeah, I was surprised to see that come up on Twitter only today (via RWO's own @alisonzell)

Yeah definitely old news but I don't think I had tweeted it ... More the reference to upgrading Harry Cunningham although that hasn't been officially announced as far as I am aware

I meant that you retweeted Cordy.

Rohan tweeted that his ankle is fine.

Twitter message from Neil Cordy

"Scans on Gary Rohans left ankle show a re tear of lateral ligament. Hurt against Suns on Saturday. Highly unlikely to play against Giants"

[swansprincess]

Swans TV injury update video says Gary a chance to play this week. Mentions Kruger and Mitchell back running and training, Alex Brown running and training is not far off. "O'Keefe should be back training next week." Spanger will be the longest recovery apparently.

*says Rohan is a good chance of training on thursday, whether or not that means he will play I suppose depends on how he pulls up if he does train.

Nothing but a strain then... Where on earth did torn ligaments come from??

All "sprains" involve some tearing of the ligaments, even an innocuous rolled ankle.

I saw him yesterday at training, he was proppy but could walk ok unaided, he believes he will be ok to play,

I seriously rolled my ankle once messing round on a bike, was convinced I had torn ligaments because it hurt so much! Went to the hospital to get scans, doc said I was fine, no tearing at all just a lot of swelling.
