Anyone have any info on Tallans injury during the state game??? Did not see him on the ground after the game and no coverage once the NEAFL site shut down.

Punctured Lung and cracked ribs, rotten luck and massive loss for us

Ahhhhh crap - that was what I feared might happen in a nothing game , someone important copping the lurgy on a shit ground
Hopefully TA isn't too bad and gets on a plane home soon!!

Devastating......not so bad if on a well promoted BIG stage with state pride on the line. Piss poor result considering this gane was not considered that important by the powers that be. Lets hope Tallan is not out for too long and the youngster coming up to replave him grabs his chance. Get well soon big fella.

Damn shame!! - not the way the game should have ended with a young man in hospital.
One man who literally bled for his State Team & Jumper

I saw the incident and two knees in his back was unlikely to have produced any thing less I'm afraid
A courageous young man I am sure who'll be missed by his WAFL team mates

Hopefully he'll be able to come home with the team tomorrow but I'm guessing that's uncertain?

I am not a medico but I would imagine this injury would not be one that would keep him out for just a few weeks. Hope he is OK. I would say he won't be able to fly for at least a few days.

5-6 weeks you would say...

Bloody not fair, play your guts out for your state and get injured. This bloke is a national treasure for Swans and he's buggered for the next four or five weeks. Bloody hell.

Yep it sucks but thats footy I guess. I knew he was in trouble when he stayed down after the contact because he is as courageous as they come.

It was gonna be lottery mikeh to which player was gonna get injured in a game like this......a pneumothorax requires a chest drain for a day or two to reinflate the lung, flying would be a no no for a month atleast mate.....though it depends on the severity of the pneumothorax I guess.....too sore to drive that distance I reckon, also if he got into breathing troubles the Nullabor is not the place to be .....he could easily be in SA for a week atleast one would think.....as for playing 4 weeks minimum surely......

watched a bit of the game on the NEAFL streaming, the boys up back hassled their opponents 24/7 during the game...didn't realise Ames was that quick over 10 metres....hopefully the fella is back on the track pretty soon.
