POLAK AGAIN ??

Panthera tigris FC said:
I'm sorry Tango, we can agree to debate Polak's skills pre-accident. That was vigorously debated on this forum. I've got no problem with Claw judging Polak on his footy skills and not wanting to be sentimental about retaining him beyond 2009.

However, there is no misinterpreting the above-quoted statement from Claw. It is a completely ridiculous, callous statement. "....a lot of what happened to him" can only refer to his near fatal injury. What else has happened to him of note over the past year? To state that he "perhaps" brought it on himself is stupefying...even by Claw's standards.

Exactly.

Agree. & this is pretty much what was getting at in terms of I feel sorry for him in a sense. Sorry P-T FC for not responding directly but I think ToO has summed it up for me.

It's fantastic for him, his partner and his family that he has made such a recovery, and it must be awful pleasing for himself to know he's been able to achieve even getting named on an extended interchange bench after what happened.

But I'd personally reserve my sympathy for people involved in accidents created by others than themselves... Such as the tram driver that night ;)

Do you know exactly what happened that night?

Even if it was Polak's misjudgment that doesn't make him not deserving of sympathy. You're pretty callous if you don't have sympathy.
 
In the H/S Jade mentions that Polly injured his ankle playing for Coburg last week. Does anyone know the severity for the injury?
 
Saw him limp off at Coburg - looked like a rolled ankle. Doesn't look too serious based on Tiges injury list

Injury list at August 10, 2009:

Jarrod Silvester (knee) Available
Graham Polak (ankle) Test
Andrew Collins (hip) Season
Trent Cotchin (hip) Season
Nathan Foley (ankle) Season
Kayne Pettifer (knee fracture) Season
Matthew Richardson (knee) Season

Does anyone know how serious Andy's hip is?
 
"hip injury" means have an early break before a big pre season, both collins and cotchin have hip injuries, when did they both recieve these season ending injuries?

Hope they don't **** him up. He needs that core strength through the hips to break out of tackles as it's of his main assets.

Also if Polly just rolled his ankle could that mean he could come in this week? I think I remember someone saying he was playing pretty well till he injured himself. Could be an inclusion vs Collingwood?
