Essendon young gun Nate Caddy is in \u201cgreat spirits\u201d after being cleared and discharged from the hospital on Sunday night.Caddy was taken to the hospital with an elevated heart rate during the Bombers\u2019 breakthrough win over GWS at Marvel Stadium.<\/p>\n
Essendon general manager Dan McPherson confirmed positive news for the emerging star on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was some concern in the first quarter when Nate\u2019s heart rate became elevated,\u201d McPherson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was removed from the game, and our medical team assessed him at the ground before sending him to hospital for further assessment.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was discharged last night and is back at home. He is expected to be able to train and play without concern this week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Essendon outworked the Giants to leap off the bottom of the ladder and issue caretaker coach Dean Solomon his first win.<\/p>\n
Dyson Sharp \u2013 who was awarded the Round 19 Rising Star nominee \u2013 said Caddy was rapt to see Essendon get over GWS.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah it\u2019s obviously a tricky one with an elevated heart rate,\u201d Sharp said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he\u2019s out of the hospital now (and) in great spirits as well, happy that the boys got over the line.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo doubt everyone has reached out to him to make sure everything is alright.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll get around him tomorrow at training.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharp was one of the keys to Essendon\u2019s victory, applying two bone-crunching tackles late in the match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Essendon young gun Nate Caddy is in \u201cgreat spirits\u201d after being cleared and discharged from the hospital on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":812976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[387922,387910,387899,387904,638,231397,387905,387900,64,63,55,639,21452,241769,387916,22710,3028,387917,387903,387924,387912,387911,387898,22718,387908,387897,387915,191,4082,387918,107961,16691,387921,13052,193128,43961,387913,387896,14412,18371,385298,85,8825,387901,387914,387923,23275,387909,387902,74713,48148,387920,377511,381735,378227,387919,87494,380148,387906,199184,7570,1542,387907],"class_list":["post-812975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-s-heart-rate","tag-s-victory","tag-a-heart-related-scare","tag-a-tricky-one","tag-afl","tag-afl-2026","tag-an-elevated-heart-rate","tag-any-concerns","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-bombers","tag-breakthrough-win","tag-caddy","tag-concern","tag-essendon","tag-essendon-fans","tag-essendon-general-manager-dan-mcpherson","tag-essendon-star-nate-caddy","tag-essendon-young-gun-nate-caddy","tag-further-assessment","tag-great-spirits","tag-gws","tag-heart-rate-scare","tag-his-first-win-dyson-sharp","tag-his-heart-rate-scare","tag-home","tag-hospital","tag-its-emerging-star","tag-last-night","tag-marvel-stadium","tag-mcpherson","tag-monday","tag-nate","tag-newswire-sport","tag-no-doubt-everyone","tag-our-medical-team","tag-positive-news","tag-sharp","tag-some-concern","tag-sports","tag-sunday","tag-sunday-night-caddy","tag-the-bombers","tag-the-bottom","tag-the-boys","tag-the-emerging-star","tag-the-first-quarter","tag-the-game","tag-the-giants","tag-the-good-news","tag-the-ground","tag-the-hospital","tag-the-keys","tag-the-ladder-and-issue-caretaker-coach-dean-solomon","tag-the-line","tag-the-match","tag-the-round-19-rising-star-nominee","tag-this-week","tag-tomorrow","tag-training","tag-two-bone-crunching-tackles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=812975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/812976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=812975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=812975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=812975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
