Massive News!!!!!!!!!!
Nick Daicos is expected to miss 6 weeks due to a hairline fracture in his knee!!!!
Could we please do a price prediction for his 41 yesterday Nato? Cheers mate.
Well he was 143 points short of making his BE.
I’d say about 50-60k.
Not quite sure but using FD’s magic number pricing from the start of the year it predicts about 56k
Damn SC season is over no more trades and got no cover!
No late changes
Substitutes:
North – Charlie Lazzaro
Dees – Michael Hibberd
There seems to be something wrong with the top 4 teams lately. They just can seem to win a game with ease.
North leading at half time
Hey Nato, congrats on a huge effort in single-handedly keeping the chat alive,across the board!
Do the finals bound teams have a heavy training block around now and over the next couple of weeks. This may explain the lack of run and the lack of physicality at the contest.
Also, off thread; a non displaced fracture of the tibial(lower ) plateau typically requires 3-4 months to heal properly. Generally 6 weeks of non weight bearing before rehab starts. A loss of bone density can occur leading to other stress fractures in the joint if the rehab is too aggressive from the look of the point of impact this may be what’s happened to Daicos. Hope not though, love watching him play!
Thanks Mark!
Well I wouldn’t know if they did, but more fatigue will build as the season gets longer. It could also be that the other teams are trying different tactics with new players or understanding the top 4 teams tactic to counter act them.
Since it was a hairline fracture they could probably do less rehab, however it comes right at the wrong time of the year. He would be back in the prelims/GF so it could be an aggressive choice to play him. Would be quite a tough call to see how fit he is come that time.
Just have to wait and see what the situation would be in 6 weeks, as he just signed a six year contract and the wrong call could truly hurt that
You’re Welcome 🙂 I’ve had the minimally depressed tibial plateau, with a small crack in the fibia head .It was 4 1/2 months till I went back to work. I was off again 2 weeks later for 3 months with a crack in the femur. I’ve never had pain like it and I’ve done an acl.
Granted I’m not a pro athlete and jabs to go back to work aren’t a thing, but still optimistic on the pies part in my view… Gawn and Tracc trying to win me my finals !
Chat always seems to die this time of year, with less trades needed to be made and coaches pulling the pin on their teams.
Would love to bring back the SC Talk community team for next season though
Dees finally taking over the game with Gawn top scoring for them. Sheezel has picked up after quite a low scoring first half
Sheezel was switched FWD in the final term and didn’t nothing…………….
Says on my app that Petty is injured. Anything serious? Room for Grundy to come back I hope in fwd line!
Yeah he had an ankle injury in the 3rd term due to a rolled ankle in a tackle.
Was in a moonboot after
Thanks mate and I agree with the previous statement your contributions to chat and info this year have been amazing.
Thanks FBS!
Always great to see you in the chat as well so at there is someone to respond to. Just hope your season goes better next year 😉
