Title: Jack Suffers Setback
Post by: Damo on November 04, 2016, 12:17:40 PM
Just announced on the radio that the titanium in his hand snapped in half.

Wonder how something like that could have happened?

I'd say it would have to be something Dan Richardson did

We've clearly gone the cheap option and elected aluminium instead of titanium.

How the hell does that happen? I've got a plate in my hand and wouldn't know how to break it if I tried.

Without knowing too much, I would hesitate to say that the plate was probably bent several times to get it into the right shape thus weakening the metal at that point.

At least Halfwit got an early excuse lined up.

Look Jack had an interrupted preseason and it impacted on our early season performances I would have thought.

how the stuff do you snap a titatium plate without breaking bones?
Do you know how strong titanium is?

maybe break away from the bone, but break the plate?
not likely.

Finger surgery holding Riewoldt back

KATE SALEMME
Herald Sun
4 Nov 2016


RICHMOND star Jack Riewoldt’s will likely be managed through the start of pre-season after undergoing an ankle reconstruction and surgery on his right little finger over the off-season.

Riewoldt had an operation to fuse together the middle joint in his little finger to help repair an injury he sustained 10 years ago.

The star full forward revealed the old injury had plagued him during the second half of this season and hampered his ability to hold the football.

One of the best set shot goalkickers in the game, Riewoldt did not boast his usual accuracy in front of goal late in the year — booting 24.14 before Round 10 compared to 24.20 after — and now we know why.

But while the initial operation to straighten his finger was a success, Riewoldt snapped the titanium plate used to fuse the joints together and was required to under more surgery three weeks later.

Despite the setback, Riewoldt expects it to have a positive impact on his game in 2017.

“The finger is probably the thing that’s holding me back at the moment,” Riewoldt said.

“You don’t want to make excuses for stuff but it became a real bit of an issue just with being able to hold the ball towards the end of the season.

“From just grabbing things at the moment I’m really confident with where it’s at.

“I’ve sneakily held the footy a few times with it now and I’m really comfortable with where it’s at and really excited about it too.”
