Mark Stevens saying there may be a "slight crack" in Edwards' leg and he may miss a month :(.

Scans tomorrow for Titch.

While Dimma said he was hoping it won't be a crack, he's demeanour in the post-match presser when asked about wasn't a confident one. I think he knows already, it's not good news :(.

"I'm just speculating at this stage, but we hope it's not [a crack]," coach Damien Hardwick said after the game.

"We're hoping it's not too nasty but he'll have further scans probably tomorrow.

"It's not looking dire at this stage … he's such an important player to us.

"We just cross our fingers with that one."

Happens to most teams, massive loss but this is where depth is tested and opportunities arise.
gotta be able to cover these things and on a positive better now than 6 weeks from now.

If Titch was wearing a Sydney jumper his opponent would have already been hung, drawn and quartered

Wow I missed that last night, did he get kicked on purpose? If so that's disgusting and as bad as a reportable offence for head high as the result is worse, time out wise.

Had something similar last year, copped a knee just under the head of the gastrocnemius (the bulging muscle in your calf) and could barely walk for two days. Was just a corky and a bit of bone bruising but was very sore yet I was still able to run out the next week pretty unhampered. Obviously these blokes are at a completely different level but he could be back next week (providing there is nothing more sinister going on).

There is no difference between the two. Fracture is just a medical term for break. You would imagine it is an undisplaced fracture but still will need to have a month off if this is the case.

I stand corrected.

Any word on the severity of the injury then? Is it a crack that will take 4 weeks or a clean break?

Maybe medically speaking there is no difference but not everyone knows the proper names for the different forms of fractures. I reckon being pedantic about the correct terms to the general public is just pointless as I'd argue everyone knows exactly what he meant by "fracture or broken"

Yes although we haven't heard officially I think. However, the break is in the fibula which isn't weight bearing and is not deformed so it should heal well and quickly.

Will only miss 1-44 weeks.

Edwards set for short stint on sidelines

richmondfc.com.au
 July 11, 2015 3:41 PM



Richmond midfielder Shane Edwards has escaped serious injury, but is expected to be unavailable for the Tigers’ next 2-3 matches.

Scans today confirmed a hairline fracture in his right fibula, which he sustained in the third quarter of Friday night’s win over Carlton at the MCG.

It was initially feared Edwards had a broken leg, which would have required an extended period of time out of the game.

He was subbed out after the incident, which occurred halfway through the third quarter, and he was on crutches after the match.

The 26-year-old has played in 12 games this season so far, and has averaged 21 disposals, four tackles and four clearances per match.

Well  I suppose it gives a Lennon or McDonut the chance to step up for 3 weeks and show what they have got. Donut would be the likely choice to fill Edwards position.

Hope they don't rush it, but a big loss. Lennon is the obvious replacement for mine. Wanna see him given another crack, he's class.

As for the debate on breaks and fractures. Any structural damage to bones are referred to as fractures and there are different types, Greenstick or Hairline or Total for eg differ in the degree of the damage.

Richmond announced last Saturday that Shane Edwards had suffered a hairline fracture in his right fibula in the win against Carlton and would miss two to three weeks.

But Larkins said Edwards could miss up to four weeks.

"The club is optimistic that Shane's fracture will heal quickly and won't require surgery, but the best-case scenario is probably a 3-4 match absence," he said.
