Too early to say - surgeon op report important - progress scan in 6-8 weeks also indicative- need to overcome early challenges - risk of infection , clots, unexpected reactions etc- all rare but influence healing outcome & timeframe

No surprise Man City have confirmed devastating right knee acl rupture for Mary Fowler - begs the question- what role did her right hamstring concern play in contributing ? Clearly was playing with this - always a lesson to learn in hindsight ?

As a former adelaide crows team member ( medico ) I'm struggling with tonight's clash jumper design - feel like I'm watching the Gold Coast -bit vanilla for me - am I the only one ?!?

You're right- They were always occurring but the intensity of the game has risen & more are being diagnosed - in addition, clubs are waking up to setting more realistic time frames for hammy tears involving the tendon primarily ( rather than muscle belly)

Unusual to have 4 hamstring injuries so early in same match- Port (Horne-Francis,Jones)Cats(Bowes, Dangerfield)-all different-this is a microcosm of the current state of hammy management at AFL level-watch for DIFFERENT return to play timeframes for each of these star players

RIP Adam-your pain is over In my time in clinical medicine I have seen staggering advances in knowledge of heart ,lung ,bowel ,joint and so many other diseases- but the human brain & its myriad of rogue neurochemical misbehaviours remains a major challenge in mental health care

All sport head trauma cases that end with such tragedy need follow up - CTE is an evolving field of medical research requiring post mortem assessment of athletes' brain tissue- at present there is more speculation than firm evidence

I hope you never experience the dark places Adam ( & so many others) have lived in over the years - if you are unfortunate enough to do do , your criticism of his tragic choice will be less brutal
