The worst was confirmed by scans – Alvey has done his ACL and will miss the rest of the season.
Matthew Robbins suffered a heavy knock to the back of the head and neck. He was concussed and at quarter time he also complained of numbness and pins and needles in his left arm. As a precaution, Matthew was placed in a neck brace and taken to hospital for scans which cleared him of any serious damage. There is some deep bruising to the back of the neck which doctors have said will need to be monitored during the week before deciding if he is available to play against the Brisbane Lions next week. He remained hospitalized overnight for observation and was released the next day

the us election count startsr ina few hours hoping harris wins but its not certain. pauline hansen gets no sympahty for her breakdown after losing the racism court case.

for zura her life is quite confusing during the day time she is a normal human girl but at night she is a golden labrador puppy under the same name helping a young boy named jed who cares for her well and yet when she wakes up her mind is even more confused she hasn’t told anyone about this. than one day jed says that he can hear what zura says in her puppy form she is even more confused and finally tells her parents who don’t understand and decide to do scans and blood tests which confuse things her scans are normal for a human but her blood test comes back with a common blood type for a golden labrador dog. so that night she talks to jed about this and he says he doesn’t know at all but tells his parents who explain an interestnig story that she was born a puppy with interesting powers that she turns into a human during the day time because of a very unusual dna but will eventually be a dog perminantely and that the trigger to be a dog fully is to make her best friend a puppy by touching a certain spot on her body which jed does before anyone says anything this erases her transfomrming abbillity and makes jed into a male puppy which is clear they were meant to be together.
