Scott Burns was all but killed

Magpie Skipper in Injury Scare.

Second page of Sunday Herald Sun sport section.

It took two sports journalists to write it.

Being a Collingwood fan I feared the worst.

Scott Burns is older than butter, so any injury might rule him out for a prolonged period of time.

But the injury scare was

“The 33-year-old Pie veteran was bumped legally as he kicked and he hit the turf with a thud.

Burns got up and walked gingerly the five metres to the interchange gate, sending the Collingwood support staff into a scramble.

Luckily, Burns survived the knock, gathering 22 possessions, six marks and six inside-50s in the win.”.

A bump.

A fu(ken bump.

Second page of the sport, for a bump.

Carey is on drugs, Gary junior is defending his brother and Scott Burns gets bumped.

There are two things that concern me here, one is that Collingwood gets so much useless press coverage. But we all know that.

Secondly, that a bump that a player got up from in a practice game gets mentioned.

Remember when players got bumped 6 times a game, and the only ones that made the papers were the ones where the guy didn’t get up.
