Great keeper, his kicking is a bit iffy but we can work on that :snod:

 

We won't :lol:

 

Class keeper though. It's nice Elliot got his run to show his true ability and despite not being as good as Krul I doubt anyone is as worried about him starting as they were when Krul got injured.

An injury like that may come back to haunt him in the years to come. f***.

 

Very fair point that.

 

Keepers put their bodies on the line - rough & tumble position, falls onto shoulder points etc. Krul's a brave & agile one too, a cracking shot-stopper who throws himself around with abandon. Impacts & collisions, awkward falls etc, are an occupation hazard for somebody like TK. Shoulder injuries (dislocations espec) are reoccurers, as you allude to. Hitting the ground, on a diving save, with an outstretched arm as the point-of-impact with the body's momentum trailing behind the jolting stop- canny way to jar/crunch the shoulder like. Undesirable type of injury this.

Hasn't he had this type of injury before?

 

I think you might be right iirc, missed some footy when coming through the reserves iirc.

 

If so, due to the type of injury & how he plays (risk factor involved), it has the makings of a rinse & repeat cycle.
