There is no bloody excuse as to why the extent of the injury and rehabilitation time is still unknown over 48 hours after it occurred.     Never said shopping around and going to see multiple people about the best way/extent of the fracture is not cost cutting nor unprofessional.  Havent you heard of getting a second opinion? They would have had the initial doctors in Lismore, then probably a doctor the club uses THEN some orthopedic specialists. AFL clubs dont even have a full time doctor working for them.  I don't blame the club taking its time in announcing anything, I could imagine the hysterical reaction on here if they said 'Yep its a fracture, we are not sure what kind of fracture nor how long it will take to heal.'

jw1739 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) IMO the absence of any updates on Orlando from MHFC is a little disappointing.  As far as Orlando himself is concerned my guess is that this is effectively a career-ending injury. Even if he were, by a miracle, to return to play a few games in a Heart shirt towards the end of 2013-14 I can't see us signing him for a further season, nor can I see anyone else taking him on.  As far as MHFC is concerned I don't see this as disastrous. Provided JD had all the insurance financials covered (and if he didn't he'll deservedly get his arse kicked by the Board) we are effectively back to where we were three weeks ago - searching for a strong DM.  If the absence of a single player means that our season is stuffed, then that means that we didn't have the right players in the squad anyway, and it means that we should have been more ruthless with the likes of Kalmar, Germano and Hoffman, and that we need to be equally ruthless at the end of 2013-14 when players such as Williams and Macallister come out of contract.  It may well be that in the longer term Orlando's misfortune benefits the club. First Grella, now Engelaar - we seem to have a bit of a cargo-cult mentality that somehow one player is going to be our saviour. Perhaps we will now focus more on signing good quality players in their early- to mid-20s who are not necessarily outstanding but have a good work ethic and can grow their skills with the advice and coaching that we can provide. As examples I would put forward Murdocca and Ramsay.  Overall, IMO the clubs with the better coaches who will over time produce the best results. A club with a crappy coach can cycle as many players it likes through the squad but if the team structure and mental approach is not right then it will not be successful.  In summary, I don't think the loss of Orlando will define our season at all. IMO what will decide it is the quality of our coaching team. Edited August 28, 2013 by jw1739 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommykins Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Agreed with most of it jw1739, however I think the club is likely still in the dark about the severity of the injury, the nature of the fracture needs to be assessed in time, I'd rather they did that right rather then going off half cocked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
