This guy is earning his pay cheque. TPJ and Thommo should be buying this guy drinks every weekend.

 

[ILiveForDib]

Thought he might have been carrying something yet he still puts in 100% and is having a great impact. Concerning though if he went down our middles are shot.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Just watched this and came to post this.

King is our real captain ! Absolute fucking warhorse and a true Bulldog. Massive respect

 

[(((((SMACK)))))]

And doing it all with no sex from the missus... unbelievable.

And doing it all with no sex from the missus... unbelievable.

She’s fucking gorgeous too don’t know how he’s doing it

 

[CQDog]

I would just shut him down and let him recover. He is giving his efforts to halves in Kyle Flanagan and Burton which is a complete waste from King considering how shit both are. Think long term here

 

[The DoggFather]

Get rid of Tevita Cuck Jr and give his money to King.

 

[NPC83]

I haven’t listened yet.. but I’d say that he’s getting needled weekly to play. Maybe some physios in here can better explain it but plantar fascia injuries means it would usually be hard to run and even walk at times. What a warrior.

 

[Cappuccino]

Only a matter of time till he goes down haha
Sutton's a workhorse but he can't bend. We are too easy to shut down atm.

 

[Rebuilding Phase]

one of the most successful buys in the past few years! He gives 110%. Some other boys should learn from him. I don’t think he’ll last the season like this though

 

[BulldogsNation]

No sex paying off

We have no middles. If he goes down, we’re fucked. We’ll lose every game.

Mason Confirms Flanagan Playing On With Ruptured Attacking Bones

Willie Mason confirmed on his weekly podcast that much maligned halfback Kyle Flanagan is on a waiting list for what doctors believe is the first procedure of its kind anywhere in the world to have Attacking Bones grafted into Kyle Flanagan’s body.

 

[ddt192]

Love this bloke! He missed alot of footy before joining the Dogs. Something tells me he’s revelling in the week to week grind. Just hope he doesn’t burn out.

 

[CQDog]

We have no middles. If he goes down, we’re fucked. We’ll lose every game.

Who cares. Fuck this entire season from these bullshit injuries from the same ***** every year. At this stage both are getting fucked off at the end of this year. Hallelujah

You’re right. We really need to address our middle stocks, but we’re not going to write off an entire season.
I’m sure if king’s at any risk of permanent injury they’ll pull him.

A ruptured plantar fascia (simplistically the ligaments/tendons that connect your toes to your heel) is not a common injury, generally it happens to people with flat feet deformity. Basketballers are also likely sufferers. Like anything foot related it takes a long time (months) to heel and requires rest during recovery. To keep playing would require pain killers, strapping and foot support (orthotics) in the footy boots. Surgery isn't commonly required, unless there is a heel spur which requires surgical removal of the bone spur. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't doing much training, to give it a better chance to heel, maybe upper body only.

From memory this is our 3rd foot recent related stress injury, RFM (bone fractures), Thompson (lisfranc) and now King. All different parts of the foot though. Is there a common factor at work here?


Always a Bulldog
