gently caress me, we really need to stop kicking a goal then letting the opposition straight down the middle to kick a reply within 15 seconds..

Hahah what, Sydney player ushers the ball out on a 70m + kick and it's deliberate...

It could be argued the player ushering the ball over the line should be pinged for deliberate, as they are deliberately letting the ball go out of play.

Also a new set of scans this week finally revealed Jenkins has broken ribs as well as cartilage damage, so Cheap Shot Miles really is shaping up as a worthy successor to Knees Mitchell and Good Bloke Hodge.

I don't know much about medical scans and stuff, but how could it take literally weeks to diagnose broken ribs when you're literally looking for them?

I think this current news story may help you understand how it could happen:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-04-13/acl-injury-outs-giants-defender-for-the-season posted:

GREATER Western Sydney has been dealt another injury blow with defender Matt Buntine ruled out for the season due to an ACL tear that he may have been playing with for years.

Bunting walked off the training track with a slight niggle, but scans revealed he had a partially torn ACL, which was a pre-existing injury.

The 23-year-old will undergo a full conventional knee reconstruction next week.

It caps off a disastrous week for the premiership fancies after veteran midfielder Ryan Griffen and young gun Will Setterfield were both ruled out for 10 weeks with ankle injuries.

"After feeling some discomfort at training on Wednesday, Matt underwent scans to initially investigate what was thought to be a meniscus injury, but these scans revealed a partially torn ACL that appears to be a pre-existing injury," Giants general manager of football Wayne Campbell said.

"This is obviously quite a rare set of circumstances, given there has been no cause to investigate any injury in relation to Matt's knee before this and it appears he's been playing with it for a number of years.

"This is obviously devastating news for Matt and we will now map out the best rehabilitation course for him to return to his best.

"Matt is a person of great integrity and character and has the full support of the entire club during this challenging time."

Buntine played the first two games of this year to bring his career total to 41 from his six years at the club.

Or not.

Yeah, nothing else happening this afternoon and in the evening is the telethon which they don't want to clash with because this game is helping the RCH too along with the telethon.

Mostly the RCH tie-in, but also public transport is beastly on a public holiday even if they put footy trains on.

Also I went to the hospital often as a kid due to a particular condition so I thoroughly support anything that helps the appeal.
