Superb game from Jack. That game of his will be remembered for a long time.

Must have had a few needles during the game, knowing he won't be playing next week.

Took a bullet for the team

Gold Coast (SE - QLD).
The club needs to target Graham’s potential replacement overnight and pull them out of the VFL GF.

Now if it’s stack... they can’t do that because he hasn’t played since ... ages ago.

If it’s pickett, massive risk.

Mcintosh?

Wouldn't necessarily rule him out.

A 'clean' dislocation that is reduced quickly can be carried for some time, the risk is how easily it can again dislocate.

He'll likely need surgery to tighten it up but could very likely play for a number of weeks with it as is.
Gee I hope so, he's very important to us, but must be 100%, can't take an injured player into the GF

Yep. Hopefully he can play.

It was a really brave effort to be able to keep playing and make contests in that condition. Jack is tough, Tiger tough! Tommy Hafey would approve.

You could see him struggling with it. What a gutsy effort to play out the game. I’m so glad he already has a premiership medal because he deserves one for that effort and unfortunately unlikely to play next week!

Not fair. The kid busted his gut and deserves to play in the GF. Surely something could be done.

If it kept popping out I want some of the drugs they gave him.

This is what *smile* me about premiership medals. When we collect ours next week, Graham deserves to walk up and collect his too

This kid. Huge heart. Huge cajones.

We should be allowed to name his as an honory 23rd next week, so if we get a premiership he gets a medal too. We wouldn't have got to this Grand Final without his courage tonight. Massively impressed with how tough he is.
