The medical management of this guy is a farce.  He spoke at the prematch function and said he injured his knee in the VFL the other week.  He described a knee that locked. That means he has a torn meniscus (cartilage) and that doesn't get better without an arthroscopy.

So my question is why hasn't he had the surgery yet? Walking around with this just aggravates the injury.

What is going on down there?

Sorry but I'm going to call you out on that. Yes that could be the case but a locked knee does not always mean torn meniscus

My rationale on that statement was that they sent a guy back out there for who wasn't feeling great in the same knee he had 2 reconstructions on. I don't think it takes a Dr House to figure out that's a bad idea.

Maybe not 100% of the time but he'll it is the vast majority. 
Locking knee = MRI =arthroscopy if MRI positive.

Should have been done 2 weeks ago. For Foley it could mean his season.

OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Time for the club to call it a day on Foley. His offered nothing his whole career. maybe a handful of games at most.

Our club doesn't make hard decisions. If they had any balls they would have retired Newman and Foley ages ago and delisted many others but they stay on the list, take up important salary cap space whilst denying us the chance to have a couple of other players on the list.

Richmond has pushed many players out the door. That is why the club goes backwards

Are you serious? Who exactly have we "pushed out the door" that we shouldn't have this century? Ottens wanted to leave. Coughlan, Brown & Gaspar were all finished....so.... Matthew White maybe? I mean I thought Contin & Darrou were both unlucky....

Well obviously we don't want to be pushing the likes of Newman , Foley, Knights, Petterd, Thomarse & Hamspud out the door unless we want to go backwards......

Will be a great coach IMO. Absolute professional with training and preparation. Good bloke. Will be a great influence on some younger kids.

Good luck to him!
