State Game Score Update

Bad news for Steven Eichner whose knee injury was assessed and it was found he had a ruptured medial ligament and damage to the anterior cruciate ligament ruling him out for the rest of the season.

On ch 10 they said full reco, and may miss 12 to 18 months.

I thought it was just a dislocation with no ligament damage?

Or so I read in the Sunday Mail, anyway.

further scans today revealed more damage than first thought, compared it to car accident injury

Looked shocking on the replay.
I really feel for the lad who was playing some great footy, they reckon at least 18 months out of footy as just about every ligament is cactus, there was even talk of amputation at one stage it was that bad!

There was an upper low to the NW of Adelaide, so steering flow for the storm was NE-SW and pretty weak hence it moved slowly. Weather usually comes from west etc but it isn't definite. Will always go the direction that steering flow is, usually 10,00ft or so. The storms on friday developed on the hills as they do in that type of setup and moved slowly SW. Very cold air up high so hail was no surprise. Was fine elsewhere. Thats just typical storms for you. Tho if the whole of the rest of Adelaide looked out their window, they would have seen a ring of storms from the Mid North, down the ranges and also some over YP moving away. Storms died at sunset as the heating from sun was lost. Ive got a pic of the storm from a distance:



Back on topic, great win by SA really toughed it out, undermanned against a quality outfit.

Thuderstruck, if that's what I saw out my window I wouldn't even be thinking storm activity. I usually associate storms with concentrated dark grey clouds, not fluffy white ones surrounded by blue skies and sunshine

[Thunderstruck]

LOL quite true, but thats what storms look like from a distance, pretty textbook really. Am hoping to become a met pretty soon, just gotta finish uni and stuff.

Just popped in to get an update on the score guys...can anyone let me know? long final quarter...

[Adelaide Hawk]

I left before the final siren so I can't be certain the game has finished
