With news filtering through that Melbourne’s Neville Jetta had rolled an ankle when he stood on a stray football at training, Bob Murphy has put together his top 10 freak AFL injuries during his regular Wednesday morning spot on SEN.

10. Roger Merrett

“He was working at a steel works and melted steel poured into the back of his boot.

9. Dane Rampe

“He tripped over the fence at the SCG and broke his arm.

8. Sharrod Wellingham

“He ripped his ankle to pieces whilst jumping on a trampoline."

7. Scott Thompson

“He had surgery on his abductor, he got home from surgery and his dog had vomited on the floor. He put his foot down and slipped on the vomit and undid some of the good work from the surgery.”

6. Zac Clarke

“He tweaked his knee at a music festival. He would have had to put the call into either Chris Bond or Ross Lyon to explain that he had hurt himself at a music festival. That would have caused some psychological damage.”

5. Steve Johnson

“He jumped the Torquay pub fence and smashed his ankle. Recently, he was reaching into a bag to pick up his phone and he hurt his finger, which raised a few eyebrows.”

4. Levi Greenwood

“He tripped on his own tracksuit pants. He went down the stairs and broke a toe.”

3. Jarrad Grant

“He stepped on a stingray.”

2. Brad Johnson

“He didn’t realise the golf cart behind him was moving, so it drove straight into him and it landed on the Achilles tendon.”

1. Brad Ottens

“He hurt his hand on a propeller while water skiing up on the river. More impressively, he fell off his ladder in the backyard and impaled himself on a garden stake.”
