Friend broken cheek bone

[can'tkeepagoodcoqdown]

Got mail jake has broken cheekbone.... out for season.

Who plays 9? Might change our bench selections as well

[Bansai Pipeline]

Lam.

[Bahrain Rooster]

For all the hate he gets, he’s a great defender and plays for the jersey week in and week out. This is a real shame. Has to be Lam/Lussick at 9. 3 peat not looking likely now but still proud of the efforts this year (today’s game excluded).

[Mickie Lane]

That’s terrible news.
Again Friend & SOO will not happen. Such a shame.

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

I think, at this stage, I would prefer the specialist Lussick at number 9.

Robbo said in presser that Jake needs scans but wasn't overly negative about his prospects. Guess we'll have to wait and see

[King Salvo]

i saw friend chewing his nails when sitting with keary and maubs away from the others players so i dont know if that means anything regarding the cheek injury - robbo didn't look too happy when he did a player head count and noticed these 3 missing and not sitting with the other players Robbo was about to address - they seemed deep in conversation about something( keary/maubs with friend listening) - is there any team disharmony players not happy with others players??

Cheekbones 2-6 weeks depending on the severity. I am hopeful Friend will be playing in the prelim final.

One of my clients is one of jakes best mates.... apparently got it direct... broken cheek bone. Not confident

What is the actual danger of playing with a fractured cheekbone? Like I know it will hurt like a bitch but is there any risk to further damage?

Obviously Friend will do what he can to get on the field, I'm just wondering if thats something that he'd even be able to consider if it proves it is fractured.


If he is out, then I would hope that Robbo picks Lussick who has proven himself in the position, with Maubs then on the bench to cover if needed. Lam was ****ing shithouse all night tonight in defence (as was everyone in the middle of the park), and frankly has not been good in any game he's played all year.

He'll play in the GF.

Robbo said he's okay but will need to get it checked. Yes, I watched his (very sobering) press conference.

PS - Lam got something like 52 tackles... he was a machine! We just had a lot of bad luck and were buggered as Souffs were ruthless.

It's done! No use dwelling on it.

I will wait for the club to say whats going on with Jake.
if Jake is out Freddys in with Hutch on the bench

Team disharmony based on this observation. What a ridiculous suggestion. And how typical of you to jump on here after such a horrific loss. You just love giving it to your team for some reason.

'apparently' got it direct? doesn't sound a sure thing. hope you're wrong.

robbo says he's alright. brief footage in the shed didn't show him nursing it.
