It was a week of absolutely carnage on the footy field this week with a large number of players succumbing to injuries. The hard, tough aspects of our game are one of the main reasons we love footy but it is always sickening when you see a player get seriously injured.
These days AFL showcases some of the fittest and strongest athletes in the world but the physically demanding game can still take its toll on even the most highly adapted players.

The most talked about injury of the round was of a player that we saw kick a bag last week. St Kilda superstar Nick Riewoldt pinged his hamstring during Friday’s night’s game against the Magpies.

The most sickening injury of the round was that of Adelaide’s Patrick Dangerfield. The youngster was rushed to hospital after he landed on his neck in a gang tackle from three Melbourne players. It was an unfortunate accident as 20 year old’s head was caught underneath his body as he was brought to ground. Scans later…
