Like a lot of others i had the no 8 him on my jackets, both signed and cherished. Bumped into him before the 17 prelim, he was nervous like the rest of us supporters but thought they'd do the job. Hope he's recovering quickly and we see him up and about.
the media are saying he had a heart attack. did he have a heart attack, which led to the ripple bypass? Or did he have a triple bypass to avoid a heart attack?
In todays modern media, its hard to get the facts.
Heart attack, then bypass. This all happened last week though and should be out of intensive care today.
I suspect the media has done the right thing and not reported it until things stabilised.
that would be a first. the herald Scum usually jumps at the chance of posting this stuff (and provide limited information) so they can set off the cookers bull5hit myocarditis conspiracy.
In my experience they very often show discretion with medically related reporting like this.

He initially had stents and ended up with a bypass which makes me think that it was more serious than initially thought. The press release said he had complications.
The thing with a bypass is that recovery and rehab takes a long time because they have essentially cracked open the chest and operated. A doctor once described bypass surgery to me as like being in a major car accident but with the damage being inflicted by the surgeon.
Our medicos are fantastic in this space and recovery rates are incredibly good by world standards so I am sure he is in great hands.
Earlier this arvo saw a few minutes of the ‘80 GF on Foxtel
