"The surgeon called it a groin reconstruction. I had to have the adductor done, the hernia done, and the conjoint tendon done. It was the full box and dice. Everything that was part of the groin, I had to get done.

''The first couple of weeks I could hardly move..."

O'Keefe raring to go now he's fit ... and wiser (http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/okeefe-raring-to-go-now-hes-fit--and-wiser-20110224-1b77u.html)

He spoke about this at the L@SS night on Wednesday.
He said that last year people were questionning him about his game and how poorly he was playing, blah, blah - all the time playing injured.
It must be so hard to play with an injury, and I can see where you don't want to lose your spot, but seriously, if you're hurt ... go and get fixed.

Well, we could all see that there were problems, but good grief! Hope he has a full return to form and a great season - we can use him.

Right, he's back on my Dream Team. I think we all knew it was a groin, he couldn't kick straight, and that is a dead giveaway.

So a fit young man spoke to a room of women about his groin at a fund raiser function? It's like something from Year of the Dogs!

Is that the same as a frank and beans? What happens if you get the dice stuck over the box? Reminds me of a movie

Reminds me of the joke about the bloke who was born with 3 testicles. He strolls into a bar one day and orders a beer. A chap is sitting on a stool at the bar next to him, and he says to him..."you know mate, between us we have knackers".. the chap on the stoll replies in a high pitched voice..."gee you must have a cluster".
