    So did I. I thought Annie was referring to Tippett but thought it strange that she would call him "ruthless"! Now it makes sense ????.

    I have to wonder whether Kurt has relatively laxed lateral ligaments in his ankles as a result of multiple sprains? Or even just naturally.

    If this is the case, it would in part account for the seemingly high incidence of repeat recurrent ankle injuries, without an exceptionally lengthy recovery time. In my experience, ankle injuries that are really well managed can recover well, but less well managed ankle injuries seem to result in increasingly recurrent instability. Taping an injured ankle and premature resumption of play (or training) seems to be a simply ineffective way to manage the problem as if there is enough force to damage a ligament, no amount of external tape will effectively protect it (it will help psychologically, with proprioception and prophylactically for less strong forces).
    The forces at the ankle are compounded by a person of Tippett's physique (as the forces at the ankle with the high mass and centre of gravity above it are exacerbated) and his game style (jumping often - either in the ruck or in marking contests).

    If he does have laxed ligaments, he may sustain an innocuous injury that will cause mild/moderate discomfort and immediate loss of confidence, which settles quickly and he can resume (albeit with trepidation.

    I'm merely contemplating aloud & this is based on nothing more than hypotheticals and with no insider knowledge.

    Is the ankle Kurt rolled on Saturday the same one he has had trouble with for much of the season?

It seems that players suffering Lisfranc and foot injuries in general take a long time to get back into form. It may have contributed to Talia's poor year, even though the injury happened a year ago.
    Agree they missed a chance to give Dawson a crack.

    Think so. I think they should just cut his feet off above the ankles and give him wheels. It's not like he'll be any less mobile afterwards.

    Maybe he is simply not suited to the modern day boots. Perhaps a pair of old fashioned, high sided, supportive Ron Barassi boots would do the trick.

    Perhaps the physios don't understand Kurt's problem because when he tells them it goes over their heads.
