Worst Injuries you have seen in the SANFL

[wycbloods]

Logan Hill's broken Leg and Steve Eichner's Knee are the worst two i have seen.

[godoubleblues]

I can remeber Brian Colbey copping a very serious broken leg (or knee) in the late 70's

[Blues08]

yes the 2 forst mentioned were terrible but one i cant get out of my head still to this day is cameron roberts i think his name was playing for sturt snapped his arm and dislocated his wrist at Adelaide oval. significant spose because had just arrived home after winning a premiership with Modbury the day before to grab some food.... watched the incident and didnt eat for 2 days

[Dirko]

Have been lucky enough to have not seen to many bad one's..

My mum is still haunted by Peter Markers injury in the 70's....

This was when the SACA had just installed its first video screen and they decided to replay it for all to see. Not enjoyable to see.

SACA are an intelligent organisation arnt they. was sickening also remember tony shaw sitting(even though in AFL) sitting in the middle of the MCG holding his dislocated elbow and the arm was at 90 dgrees

The Eichner one is still the worst I have witnessed at SANFL level.

Peter Vardy having his arm broken at Salisbury Oval in a game of junior footy was a horrific one that I witnessed from the sidelines, worst I have seen at any level of footy (DW, were you playing in that game?).

[Hodges 153!]

Stupid me went down to the race to see Jamie King coming off the ground on a stretcher with a broken leg.....

Also, not SANFL, but can't forget Daryn Cresswell banging his dislocated knee back into shape!

yeh I forgot about that one, didnt look good at all

then who would forget Nathans Browns broken leg a couple of years ago

[Adelaide Hawk]

I can remeber Brian Colbey copping a very serious broken leg (or knee) in the late 70's

Don't know if it's the worst I've "seen", but certainly the worst I've "heard". Colbey snapped an achilles tendon at Footy Park against Norwood in 1976 (it was either round 4 or 5).

I was with a mate in the crowd and we heard a "bang" and Colbey went down. We joked that he had been shot, but that was the noise the archilles made as it snapped. Incredible.

worst i have seen roger luders broken jaw
most gutless act i ever saw
north people know who i am talking about

[JK]

Scotty Bassett's career ending injury was pretty bad ... Don't think it would have been as visually bad as Eichners, or say Nathan Browns at Richmond, but a year and a half after the event he still couldn't walk without a distinct limp.

[rogernumber10]

Stephen Barratt's broken leg, 82 prelim. Truly horrible noise when sitting in about row 3, 35 metres from where it happened. In that same game, the sound of the punch that Peter Maynard got in his ear (which split his ear drum from memory), was also really disturbing.
This is actually not a nice thread.

This is actually not a nice thread.

Agreed, I've avoided it until now.

SMAC - I remember Vardy's injury. Awful. Don't think I was playing that day though.

My mum, remembers that one too!!

So lucky to be too young to remember that one (I was there but only 9 y/o). When did he do his finger at training ? Was on the comback trail IIRC...

I dispute your inclusion of the words "most" & "ever", but otherwise your point is reasonable.

For me, Cam Roberts broken arm beats Eichner's knee.

I can remember the "bang", I can remember asking my dad what that sound was and he was just cringing

Hey All,

As was the case with Nathan Brown's broken leg at Richmond, the bloody media keep replaying these severe injuries over and over about 5 times in 30 seconds. Poor Logan Hill, that was pretty bad wasn't it. I think I saw it 3 or 4 times on the ABC coverage then another 3 times later that night on Sports Tonight. It was amazing that there wasn't much reaction on his face immediatley after the break, it probably wasn't until he looked down and saw it for himself that the pain then seemed to kick in and the realisation that he was in a bit of trouble would've settled in.

Although not eventuating from the same type of circumstances, Logan Hill's broken leg was similar to the one seen recently in the English Premier League. For those that didn't see it or forgot (i'm sure there is footage on the net somewhere) but it was Birmingham City's James McFadden who ran in for a diving two foot tackle on Arsenal's Eduardo's leg, breaking it clean in 2 places. Ouch !! Hopefulyl, young Logan will not be out of the game for too long, good luck to him in his recovery from this horriffic injury.

A few other severe footy injuries, not neccesarily just in the SANFL that come to mind include Trent Hentschel's knee injury in a Showdown that doctors said resembled a massive car crash victim's injuries. Then there was James Hird absolutely smashing his face to pieces on Mark McVeigh's knee over in WA, Danny Morton's career ending neck injury playing for the Power a few years ago, of course that tragic incident that saw Neil Sachse become a quadriplegic, poor Chadwick's broken finger from the weekend not going back in for Doctor Barnes, the list could go on and on. Unfortunatly it happens at times and can be horrible, but addictive to watch in replay.

Also i think it was white who got kicked in the face by king. It didnt get much media i dont think but they also said that his injury resembled a car accident when the person hits there face on the steering wheel. broke clean across just below his nose..... apparently you could hear the crack up in the stands.....

cam roberts was bad due to the shock he went into and the way he held it made it visually so much worse

That one with Cam Roberts was a few years ago at Adelaide Oval wasn't it ? I think it was against Centrals as well ? His was a broken leg as well wasn't it Blues08 ???
