Tom injured his leg two weeks ago against West Brunswick

Can you please provide us with a full run down of your injury and your recovery?
After ariving at the emergency ward I had an xray which showed that I had broken the Fibula as it enters the ankle, on top of that the Tibia was displaced inwards. I had surgery on the sunday by Dr Jit Balakumar and currently have to keep the ankle up for 2 weeks before a reveiw with Jit and hopefully can start walking around with a moon boot.

What’s the wisest thing you have ever been told?
Positive Energy allows for positive gain. Always look for the silver lining in any situation.

When you are walking down project runway or in the latest edition of Cleo, do you think “the boys of Kew FC will love this”?
Every single moment, ill have to get photos for the boys

Rate your blue steele in comparison to Derrick Zoolander’s and Cocky’s.
Cocky’s is an underrated look and should be utilized and given for all the world to see. Ill see if I can hook him up with some people.

2022

Your post-game attire is very suave, however your pre game attire makes up of matching green YMCA tracksuits.  What is your thought process behind this?
Trying to start a new fashion trend by bringing green back.

Has your latest injury setback improved your relationship with the club trainers or at the very least involved any extra treatment of any kind?
Building a relationship with the medical staff is a very important step for those playing sport, they are there to help you get back on your feet as soon as possible. I will find out soon enough how strong that is.

How is it moving back home? You are truly living the dream now.
Spoilt rotten from Annie’s great cooking, after raising four boys she knows how to put on a great spread

For those who have not experienced the green whistle, explain the high sensation?
Like floating on a cloud

Is it true that Scotty Norm the most attractive nurse at Epworth Hospital?
I didn’t see him directly but there was almost a hush tone of admoration, a tone of respect, almost as if he is revered in ledgendary statis around the hospital. Something I have never experienced before

Do you think Scotty Norm is worthy of a spot in the forward line?
I can see the great man himself wheeling around on his right 50 out next to the boundary line and putting it through the middle, with both hands in the air celebrating…. before Frodo comes up behind him and starts berating him asking him why he didnt kick to him.

What did you do last Saturday night?
Very little, watched the footy,
