I once had a bloke walk into hospital, still in his footy gear, with a split scrotum. He'd landed on it during the game and it popped like a balloon, and he continued to play and finished the game. Was incredibly dangerous and lucky he didn't die but I'm still in awe of the pain tolerance

Younger bro didn't quite split the agate sack, but copped a whack in the nuts off a team mate trying to smash a loose ball.......... or two out from under a pack.
Played the game out with an ice bag down the jocks n then realised he had some serious swelling issues in the showers. Off to hospital where they tried to unsuccessfully syringe some of the blood out of the sack to reduce the swelling. Poor bastard could barely walk n needed a couple of weeks off work as he had a pair of nuts the size of granny smith apples n a fair amount of eye watering pain.

I worked with a woman who called her own son Titch because he was so small.
She had to leave work early one day, as her son had been involved in an accident at school.

He'd been in PE and they'd been playing volleyball. The PE teacher asked him to get the net down, so instead of taking the pole out the ground, he climbed the pole and took the net off the hooks. He then proceeded to slide down the pole like a fireman and caught his scrotum on the lower hook....

His mum went to school and met the ambulance. She said she held one of his aggats in a container as it had come off. I'm not sure if she was joking, but she said it looked like a little brain.

This post made me cross my legs and wince. FMD.

That’s enough now. If you want to discuss disembodied testicles make a dedicated thread in a dark corner where nobody else has to think about it. @tigerman - you will receive cease and desist notice/first and final warning.

I agree-but just one more.

I heard a guy telling this story on the radio a few years back. Said when they were kids back in the 70s they were playing on an old car in the back yard. Someone was squirting the hose on the car and the kids were climbing on the roof and sliding down the front windscreen. Anyway one of the boys skewered his nut on the broken off of aerial. Went right through. Yikes!

How good was Bakes against the Dees? Ya can't help but admire him, I wish we had 2 of him. He's not a big man, but crikey, he rides tall in the saddle.

Surprised not more talk about his game. Sensational. Most effective disposals, 2nd most score involvements, most rebound 50s, 2nd most intercepts. Some of those spoils on bigger players were simply inspiring.

Love the lad but is not a lock down defender. Not in his nature to defend man on man, Richelle ran amok in the 3rd, Bakes could not keep up with him, as noted last week by one commentator Bakes was extremely lucky his man dropped the mark with 5 seconds to go having left him and charged into the centre square. Either spare man in defence or pressure forward. They probably will play him on Daicos on forward flank.
 
Baker and DRioli must be close to the best pair of small backs in the league.
Both can defend, win the ball, run and use the ball.

Fair call but Rochelle is going to be an absolute star.
 
Easily our best. Dynamic. Superior wet tracker.

I know that we don't want to disrupt our systems too much in R3 - they're barely in place this year - but I thought Bakes might get a gig in the middle after half time.

Outstanding game by Liam again. If only the rest of the team could put as much effort and enthusiasm into their game as he does

Not just the effort and the enthusiasm, he is so clean when taking possession that it gives him time to make the right decision. No fumbles from Bakes tonight unlike most of the others, guess which players looked rushed and who didn't. Fumbling against teams like the Pies is fatal, Bakes was brilliant at that tonight, shame he didn't have a few more as clean as him.
