Blake-dislocated shoulder

He is very unlikely for next week.

This is going to stretch the backline ever further.

Came off holding his wrist. The ball hit his forearm as he contested a mark with his hands over his head. Didn't appear to be any other contact from what I could tell.

All I was thinking was "Sh!t that's all we need"

On the radio they said the club claimed it was a dislocated thumb...

Players generally hold their wrist if it is a shoulder injury/collarbone... i think it is a dislocation as apposed to collarbone and could be alright if he didnt do any ligaments on the way... As it was only the ball that hit it i dont think it did but you just dont know

To the shrew sitting behind me in M52 row dd, whose words when Blake went off were -"well he's no loss"
I repeat to you that he has been the most underated player in the team and we will miss him big time next week.
And madam, tell me about the golden boys who let us down instead of bagging Blake.
Shame on you

Can one of our anatomy students help us out here.

I always thought that the shoulder was at one end of the arm and the thumb at the other. I am confused

I'm hoping wrist not shoulder, he got it trying to spoil and the ball whacked him on the inside of the lower forearm. Blake plays with both his shoulder and wrist strapped so he has problems with both joints.
I hope you got a photo of the woman bad mouthing Blake, so we can publicly humiliate her...

No photo, blonde, middle aged (hang on that's me, except I love Blakey) but plenty of people around her made sure we all gave Blakey our personal support as he came off. And she shut up after that.

He was holding his wrist or thereabouts when he came off. I'm not sure where Danny Frawley got the shoulder idea from on MMM!

I felt awful when I saw him on the turf. Then I watched the replay, laughed and said, "even the football is injuring us!"

from AFK site at 7.06pm:

ST KILDA defender Jason Blake is expected to be right to play in next Saturday night's first semi-final against Collingwood at the MCG, despite injuring his right thumb during his side's 58-point loss to Geelong at the 'G on Sunday.

Blake suffered the injury mid-way through the final term, but his coach Ross Lyon was optimistic the versatile Saint would be ready to go against the Pies.

"Jason Blake, he came off with a thumb, which he had a guard on," Lyon said post-match.

"He just jarred that and he was pretty sore, but we're confident that he'll be fine."

So it sounds like he will miss the next 2 weeks then.

Is a tireless, selfless, unrewarded hero. After T Swartzz left the club Blake took his mantle and for what it is worth I would gladly accept any result dealt out to my Sainters, as long as blokes ike Jason Blake play for us, such is the respect he deserves.
