Simon Phillips Injured Again

[Royal City]

dare I say it.......MONSJAW? so, is it a new break? or the old one, re-broken? and what's worse?

One of each unfortunately mate. Two breaks one a re-break of the recent one and the other a new break but don't tell Booney because he thinks I am making the whole thing up.

I don't know why I would want to do that

At the time of you starting this thread I know this was unconfirmed. So your initial post was BS as he had not even had X-Rays, what it was however was a very good guess from somebody in the know.

Anywho, bad news as I was looking forward to seeing what he had to offer in the coming weeks.

[MagareyLegend]

Well have you had it (what I allegedly made up) confirmed if so from where? I have seen nothing in the media but now you seem to be agreeing with me.

We are talking contact injuries here.

Here's a quote from Big Phil from when Cam Milne injured himself last year.

Was down into our rooms at half time and the club doctor told me straight away he thought the hip was broken, certainly dislocated anyway.

Great courage from Cameron to keep his eyes on the ball and a real blow to the young lad as I thought he was playing okay up until that point and it certainly did not look pretty through the binoculars. He was taken to hospital in an ambulance and had to be given some oxygen to help with the pain naturally.

Terrible for his Mum and Dad who had flown out from Tasmania the night before and had to witness that first hand, it certainly was horrific and whilst it will be a long hard slog to come back, we wish Cam all the best in his recovery.

A couple of points here.

One, if started cracking jokes about sending text messages to him in hospital about his injury the righteous CDFC fans on here would, quite rightly, go ballistic.

Secondly, if you're so dense that you can't have empathy for a serious injury, head high contact or otherwise, you'd have to question your basic humanity.

One question whufc. Given everything you posted it sounds as if you would have been prepared to tell Milne's parents that it was just a footy injury and they should accept that these kinds of things are going to happen and not to be worried about it. Who knows, given your form you might have even thrown in a few bonus gags about him not doing his best work on the dancefloor for a while.

Would you have?

So, he did'nt have xrays untill the following day?

Any idea how long he will be out for? That is a bad blow to Norwoods early season matches.

Don't bring me into this Topsy

But I do get why you quoted me and I do agree with your points raised...

[Royal City]

Well have you had it (what I allegedly made up) confirmed if so from where? I have seen nothing in the media but now you seem to be agreeing with me.

Dont take it personally ML, Booney's natural reaction is to guess/make up a positive result for PAFC on most matters these days.

Dont take it presonally ML, Booney's natural reaction is to guess/make up a positive result for PAFC on most matters these days.

Fair enough that's all he had to say instead of saying that I or someone else was full of ....
Anyway here is confirmation from the Power's website in the last half hour.
http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/news/n ... fault.aspx
SCANS today have revealed that Port Adelaide recruit Simon Phillips fractured his jaw at training yesterday morning.
Phillips will have a plate inserted in his jaw tomorrow and will not take part in contact training for six weeks. He will, however, resume non contact training within ten days post surgery allowing him to continue his running programs.
The setback comes after Phillips had spent five months away from contact training after recovering from post-season shoulder surgery.

Booney before you get on your high horse again this is consistent with the information I received late last night - the scans were then taken to the Power this morning for their medicos to see. But its okay I am not looking for an apology just don't use the inference of people being "full of ...." again. Not a good look for a moderator especially when you turn out to be wrong.

Lets move on now.

Surely puts his chances of playing AFL this year in serious doubt. And probably not too likely to play much SANFL at all until the season's about half over.

Rotten luck, really. Getting a broken jaw in a game situation like that was unlucky enough, to get it hurt at training no less is like being truck by lightning twice.

As for this debate about game injuries etc, you NEVER like to see injuries. Whether it's a game, training or taking the dog for a walk rejoicing in someone else's misfortune is just low. I wouldn't expect Callinan to feel guilty for his actions on grand final day because sometimes injuries occur when nobody has done anything outside the way the game is played.

It appears as though your information was correct ML, so I do apologise. Not a good look, moderator or not. Interesating though, my information suggests the scans were done today. Unless you know Phillips himself, your information must come from someone very close to him. Even the official media release states the scans were done today.

Royal UK City Fan, no need to follow my posts or police them, thanks anyway. Whoever you may be.

No probs mate lets move on - bottom line is sad day for the kid but he will fight on.
Confidence around contests could well be his problem from now on.
All the best to him for his recovery.

Would you have?

I never said not to be worried about it.

It is a footy incident and if you a play a contact sport you do have to accept that these things are going to happen. There is no point being outraged and blaming people its all part of the game. Hell if your going to back into a pack 100 times at least one of those times your probably going to get hurt. I worked with Cameron Milne at the Aquadome and that was his attitude, he had played football for 15 years and never had a serious injury, the game had been kind to him up and til then.

I dislocated my shoulder diving in the field in cricket recently, was there any point blaming the pitch, the batter for hitting it, the other bloke for misfielding it NO if im going to dive in the cricket field there is a chance i may do an injury to my arm, shoulder, hand, hip etc etc

Whoever Magarey Legend got his information from, that person would want to be careful, especially if they are in the medical profession.

anyway, let's leave it....or you'll have JAS or AdelaideHawk on here going troppo again.
