This is just weird trolling.

Apart from the fact that it's a totally incorrect use of the phrase (this injury is nothing to due with correlation v causation, maybe hindsight bias if anything) it doesn't really make sense. I suppose we've all seen the West Wing and picked up a few phrases. If someone said that Yeo's injury was because of the Optus turf (when in fact he's just brittle), then you could probably wheel out the Latin.

Yeo is possibly the most injury prone guy in the game. It certainly didn't take an imaginative leap to think he might get injured again. I think I said in last week's Trades thead that Yeo was a one way ticket to round 22/23 donuts. This scenario seemed a pretty likely one.

There are many hills to die on in Supercoach. Elliot Yeo's injury history is... not one those.

Nat Fyfe was substituted off against the Western Bulldogs with soreness in the same foot that has been previously affected by a plantar fasciitis injury, according to Senior Coach Justin Longmuir.

Fyfe was playing in his eighth straight game after missing rounds two to seven with the injury.

The midfielder / forward had 12 disposals in the opening three terms before he was substituted for Neil Erasmus.

Longmuir said it was too early to know if the soreness would lead to Fyfe missing next Sunday’s clash with Carlton.

“His foot had gotten sore. It’s the same foot he has had issues with this year,” Longmuir said.

“It was sore and we had fresh legs (in Erasmus) so we thought we would get him in.

“It’s too early to tell (if Fyfe will miss a game). We will see how it pulls up.”

Longmuir said plantar fasciitis injuries have a tendency to linger.

“They never really go away until you have an extended period of time off,” Longmuir said.

“So he’s had some awareness there, it just got a bit sorer than usual.

“He would be disappointed having been subbed out and it flaring up again but we will get him home and assess it further.”
