Fremantle star Hayden Young was thought to be suffering a corked leg as he limped around in the final quarter against Port Adelaide, only for scans to reveal something far more sinister.
Fremantle's Hayden Young revealed he suffered a "little crack" in his fibula during Sunday's clash against Port Adelaide.Fremantle midfielder Hayden Young has revealed he wouldn't have been able to play in the AFL finals after breaking his leg during Sunday's 20-point loss to Port Adelaide.The 23-year-old went off for treatment before bravely returning to the field despite his struggles to run.
Fremantle would have reached the finals with a win over Port, but Young wouldn't have been able to play in any case."It was a bit of an interesting one. It sort of got a knock and just felt like a little stinger or corky and I tried to run it out, and obviously it just wasn't going away."It was a little bit frustrating because the game was in the balance and I felt like we were right in it."Sometimes in footy you get a bit of bad luck and stuff like that happens.
Young averaged 23.8 disposals, five tackles and five clearances to go with 13 goals in his first full season as a midfielder, with the hot form earning him a spot in the extended 44-man All-Australian squad.
