Steven Morris [merged]

[Andyy]

Would give us a chance to elevate somebody like Miles too. Then maybe see if McDonough is quick enough to play small defender role...

[Phil Mrakov]

This injury will be the end of him

[Willy]

Bloody hope not. One of our best. Huge balls.

He's been carrying this for a while, hopefully at seasons end he has corrective surgery

He had surgery at the end of last year but reinsured the same shoulder with a kamikaze act  in the first game of the year. There is little any medico can do when you play like that...

Well they could suggest not playing him and sending in him for more surgery to do the full reco and fix it properly. Clearly the surgery didnt work last time

His shoulder is popping more than bag of popcorn in a microwave at the moment

He could have the best full reco in the world and still destroy all the good work by the way he throws himself into contests.....

Not trying to be a smart you know what but I thought with shoulder recos they can really make the joint "tight" with the way they pin/staple (not sure of the correct wording) the muscles/tendons hence why it takes in some cases a longer time to get a full range of movement back in the joint. So if you did that wouldn't that lead to greater strength in the joint if that makes sense?

[Phil Mrakov]

The AFL should introduce shoulder pads as part of its 'Americanisation' for blokes like Steven

Reasonable question WP. The problem always remains that a player that hurls himself "shoulder first" into a contest will loosen any surgery that tightens it up. We are talking tendons, bones and muscles here, not titanium magnesium carbon fibre space age materials.

Thanks

It's interesting, I remember years ago when Wayne Carey had his 2nd reco he said that the surgeon had deliberately made the 2nd one tighter to make it harder for it to pop out.

Then for the other side I have a friend who had a reco and they thought they had tightened it too much because it took a lot longer for him to get the range of movement back than what they thought it would. Good news  though was  hasn't pooped his shoulder since the surgery

Indeed. Best back pocket we have had in years.

He hurt it again early last night and was tackling and bumping one-sided again.  It's not doing him nor the team any good by playing injured.

Fixing it would probably cost him the season, but better now than missing an entire pre-season at the end of the year, I would have thought.

[Hellenic Tiger]

At 1-6 or 2-7 it might be time to prepare for 2015.

Lose to Brissy and a smart footy manager might just make the call sooner rather than later.

[Judge Roughneck]

While this is most logical in regards to long term planning

The coach only cares about short term it seems hence Morris won't be operated on until seasons end

[Diocletian]

Becoming more and more a liability down back IMO. Actually think he'd go alright as an inside mid. He can replace Thomas and we can put Batchelor in his spot....or something.....

[Willy]

Morro is limited but he still generally shuts down his opponent, wins hard ball and sets the standard for intensity every game.
Get rid of the soft shafts who turn it over before worrying bout Morro.
I still remember the days when small forwards used to murder us routinely. Doesn't happen as much anymore.
