Kosi's hand injury

[SydneySainter]

We were all very critical of Kosi's late season slump, which happened since he tore the webbing in his hand and played the rest of season with the glove.

There were a few who asked the question as to why Kosi wasn't losing the glove for set shots, like Lynch or Cloke. After having a watch of this years final against the Pies, I noticed that the glove was actually taped to his wrist.

Perhaps his hand injury was worse than we all thought?

He has no fingers, it is one of those gloves to pretend you have fingers when you dont really, so in hindsight he did really well

I believe that the injury was worse than what we thought it was..if i remember correctly roo done his webbing last season and only wore a glove for 4 or so games..

There was a bloody lot of strapping under that glove. He probably has had/will have surgery on it over the off-season !!

[Bernard Shakey]

Another excuse?

[DownAtTheJunction]

You would like to think there was an injury - aside from Milne and Clarke I rated him our 3rd worst player. Didn't really get near. And yeah the conditions didn't suit.

[Winmarvellous]

It wasn't only GF day. He didn't do much through the whole finals series.

[Legendary]

Sensational first half of the year, had 11 Brownlow votes, was top 10 in the B&F at the halfway point ....

Once the hand injury happened, he dropped off - coincidence?

speaking of hands
I still chuckle at the Media hype on "Taylor playing with abroken hand and beating Nick R"
Cats club doctor chuckled when he was asked on the monday and Said not broken- but the media continued to go with the story all week

this week it was further refuted and explained as being a 'stinger' in the hand

He also should have won the norm smith you know?

[ThePunter]

He split the hand right down to the wrist. Probably should have had surgery straight after he did it, if he could have got back for Round 20-21. He injured his hand in Round 16.

These are the sort of "weird" injuries that seem to happen to Kosi. But he was clearly better before the injury, except for the first five minutes of the Qualifying Final v Collingwood. He took Scarlett apart in Round 14. Scarlett won't be "better" next year.

Kosi is 27 next year, and barring injury, should have his best year.

He turned 27 two weeks ago....

[ThePunter]

So he is 27 next year! Great!

(I never said he turned 27 next year, just that we would be 27 next year. He'll turn 28 in Grand Final week, I presume.)

What, is he s frog or something? Who has webbing down to their wrist??

[ThePunter]

I didn't mention webbing. It started in his webbing and right down his hand to his wrist.

I have this from a medical related source inside the club.

Makes it Bloody difficult when one of your greatest assets is your ability to mark the ball. There was also talk of nerve damage at the time !!

[spert]

Kosi needs to do more than just take big marks- especially in finals..he was flat as a pancake, along with Milne. Two experienced players who looked like schoolboy footballers in the big league on our most important day. I'll let Raph off the hook as he didn't do too bad for most of the GF after his couple of clangers, and he has a lot of development left yet, same for McQualter.
