Nash

[Megan]

Anyone have any updates on the lad? Last I heard they were muttering something about a bruised spinal cord or something. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything more from a reliable source, I'm concerned about the poor kid.

[Brumaz]

would love to hear some news too.
looked like it could have easily been very serious.
The blank look on his open eyes, and not flinching at all wasnt a very good sign

[Boyler_Room]

Looked nasty at the time. Had tingling in his hands. Is at the Alfred at the moment. I haven't heard anything else but I'm very concerned for the boy.

[BenDoolan]

I'm absolutely gutted for the guy. Love the way he plays. I make no secret he is my favourite kid on the list. It looked a hard knee into his back and then boot studs came crunching down on top of his head when they landed. I haven't seen a replay of it, and reading the reports in here, I'm concerned for the poor bloke. Was playing extremely well again....

[billyduckworth]

Anyone heard any news today?

Gee, I hope he's okay.

I agree with you, Ben. I think he is the best of all the kids at the moment - doesn't panic and almost always uses the ball well.

[danstar84]

Have heard that he has been cleared of any damage and released from hospital. Probably has concussion, and the tingling in the hands was probably due to a heavy hit on a nerve.

[BenDoolan]

*breathes a heavy sigh of relief*

[Rossoneri]

Nash will be ok, he is a tough one.

[billyduckworth]

That's great news. Sounds like it is not too serious.

[Megan]

Ah thank f*** for that. Was very concerned.

Nash cleared of serious injury

Essendon youngster Jay Nash took part in this morning’s recovery session at Windy Hill having been released from hospital late last night and cleared of serious injury. Nash was knocked unconscious on the three-quarter time siren of yesterday’s clash with Richmond and taken to hospital for precautionary scans on his head and neck.

The news doesn’t appear good for veteran Scott Camporeale who is expecting confirmation today that he will need a full reconstruction to repair a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. The news will come as a bitter blow for Camporeale who had been in excellent form over the past two weeks.

Nash fell awkwardly following a marking contest, knocking himself out and then reporting a tingling sensation in his arms and hands. He was taken by ambulance to hospital where scans revealed no structural damage. Once the tingling subsided he was sent home. He is not expected to play this weekend.

The season also appears over for Courtensay Dempsey who suffered yet another hamstring strain. The positive news for the Bombers is that Dustin Fletcher appears certain to play against West Coast having overcome groin soreness.

My god Megan!! Did I really see you venture to bigfooty??

[lozza89]

Mighty sigh of relief to hear he is alright.
He is definately going to lead this club in the right direction. He has a good head on his shoulders, and from what ive seen a pretty good footy brain to go with it.
Exactly the type of person we need to get this club to go forward.

[Boyler_Room]

We looked a damn sight worse after he went off. We lost some serious run through the middle and an important link in the chain between the rebound from the backline and the delivery to the forwards. Part of the reason why we got trounced in the first 10 minutes of the last quarter, I'd suggest. That and we only had player on the bench.

[robrulz5]

Good news that he isn't seriously hurt. Would the club consider giving him this week off to recover properly? It was a nasty knock.

[Megan]

Bonce, I do venture to the dark side occasionally

[Brumaz]

great news
