"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
Eight weeks is my guess. Looked high which sucks, but he's an absolute pro and he'll do everything right to rehab.
Stanley, Kosi and McEvoy... Stand up gents!

Channel 7 did everything to talk this up. References to Mathew Lloyd tearing his hammy off the bone and missing the year. Timmy kept saying it doesn't look good "although I don't want to be an alarmist" etc etc.
However I did note at the end of the broadcast, when Timmy was once again in the rooms saying it doesn't look good, Roo was in the background, in good spirits and without the crutches.
Until I hear otherwise I will remain optimistic that the injury is at the lower end of the scale.
im nervous as anything. we all love nick and seeing him injured just makes me sad.
just saw ross lyons press conference on the afl website. he seems pretty positive.
was asked the question: "did he tear it off the bone?". ross's response: "do you think i would be sitting here with a half smile on my face if i thought that?"

Yep, me too.
Rossy Lyon said a few weeks, didn't seemed too upset about it.
I bet Hutchy will be upset if it's a minor injury, as well as the other media tossbags....
Ross Lyon's comment was along the lines that if he was so bad would I be smiling-think there is a general feeling its a standard hammy but nothing more-fingers crossed.Great win in the meantime.
There are freaks and freaks and Baldock was both of those.
Had he tore it off the bone he wouldn't have been sitting on the bench...he'd be in surgery right now.
If they thought he'd tore it off the bone I don't think RL would have looked that happy after the game...he' of been pleased with the win, but IMO he wouldn't of been able to conceal his disappointment as he'd of know our season would have been all but gone.
The medical staff would have a fair idea, and SOS tore his off the bone years ago...IMO had they thought it was off the bone he would of been off to hospital asap.
I thought the same thing Leo. My mate kept saying to me, 'Why is Roo sitting on the bloody bench, take him to hospital if his hammy's as bad as everything we're hearing.' I'm sure the medics would have taken him straight to hospital.
Hopefully he'll only miss 4-6weeks at the most. Kosi back after next week. Time for Kos to stand tall I reckon. Similar scenario to 2005 when Roo was out injured.
