G'Day! (Oh Yes, another Aussie!)

[Jez2983]

G'Day Guys (and CBQ!).

I've been following this forum for ages without being a member (my gf laughs at me for spending an inordinate amount of time with my 'basketball friends' who don't talk back to me!) and finally got around to joining.

While obviously being a Bogut fan I reckon I'm always gonna have a soft spot for the underdog Bucks when his career is done, and I'm really looking forward to the next season-surely it can't get the worse!!!

I'm also a physiotherapist, or a physical therapist for US guys, and do lots of work with sports injuries. Incidentally, do many PT's work with sports teams over there? Or is it mainly doctors? Over here we often have PT's at all under-age representative levels, and probably at the equivelant of college, NBADL, probably even with HS teams. I mean, currently I work for an amateur AFL team in the country (yeah i'm heaps more outback than these Melbourne/Sydney guys - kangaroos down the street and all!) which is like 2-3 levels below equivelant of NBA.

Anywho, always willing to give opinions and stuff on injuries, whether asked to or not!

Bloody Australians.

There goes the neighbourhood.

[Jez2983]

Cheers mate - seeing as so many here were having fun with the general goodness of the Bucks Front Office, just thought I'd get back onto the crack medical team - they were lucky highest paid players stopped dunking...

[Jez2983]

Dags - numberwang is awesome! Funniest show on TV in ages! Cheers KIAM!

MMBOT? Or NYANF or whatever he is? Or bucks-revenge? That poll confused me... Freeway?

[Chuck Diesel]

G'Day mate. Things aren't half bad around here if you can put up with all the bloody seppos .

[tyland]

Welcome bloke. This place is great to waste away valuable hours where other more important things could get done. Just ask the missus.

Good to see another 'Ozzie' here.

You say you are working for an amateur AFL team, what league? How rural as well?

Nah - she's already gone to bed! (I'm just waiting for twirly to make some random sexual innuendo )

Amateur team: Lincoln South Eagles, in Port Lincoln (15,000 people-not really heaps rural!) which is 600km from Adelaide. Unfortunately the last claim to fame we had was that big bush fire we had a few years back. Oh, and Makybe Diva. And apparently we have the biggest concentration of millionaires per capita in Australia coz of all the tuna fishermen.

Welcome.. I'm happy you finally joined. Tell your girlfriend that your "basketball friends" are finally talking back to you!

Sounds like you will be a very valuable poster especially when it comes to talking about sports related injuries.. so again welcome.

[emunney]

Welcome to the board.

[Jez2983]

welcome to realgm from adelaide.

It's even smaller in SA! Lincoln's a great spot, kinda like Victor but quieter/better views/better surf. This place just revolves around fishing!

Cheers CBQ! It's weird, she hates sports and I'm possibly the most sports-obsessed person in the world! With the injury stuff the surgery side of things is constantly changing and difficult to keep up with sometimes-they often do their own thing. The US also seems more aggressive in treatment in some aspects - lots of surgery (ie Bobby) whereas in Australia surgery is uncommon in plantar fascitis. But then in the AFL players will often have local anaesthetics/corticosteroid injections at 1/4 or 1/2 time in games-depends on the sport I guess. The NBA season is just a marathon though. I often think a shorter season would put more value on games/make for better viewing if players aren't injured. Always counter arguments to that though.

Welcome to the board.

Thanks mate.

[Jez2983]

Damn - i need to learn how to use this board better!
