[fishardansin]

Mate, I am going to follow my home team when we have it.
Right now, I am an Essendon fan. As I have been my whole life.
Solid tag by the way.

Sorry buddy, but I wasn't serious.

Still 3 weeks away but he's now running, like on the ground.

has reached a significant milestone in his recovery from a foot stress injury.

The first-year Don hasn’t played since round nine, enduring a steady rehabilitation regime in anticipation of a return to play in the coming weeks.

GM of Performance Daniel McPherson said after weeks of being off-track, Setterfield has recently begun running and will progressively build back into main training.

“Will’s progressing well with his rehab program and has begun on-ground running,” McPherson said.

“We’ll continue to increase his loading over the next few weeks. He’ll build into main training over the next couple of weeks ahead of a return to play, hopefully for round 19 or 20.”

are both progressing well from their respective foot injuries, a positive sign for both players.

Now only three weeks away.

I feel like they have been saying 3 weeks for the past month. They are clearly taking the piss and not being honest.

If this was the NFL or NBA, the league would have fined the shit out if them by now.

They said 3 weeks from the start!!

How many has it been?

Been at least 10 now. Yet he’s out playing golf weeks ago but is only now just getting back to running. Strange injury, probably had a set back for 2 they just haven’t bothered to update us with.

Golf isn't that strenuous tbh

I've forgotten what the injury actually is, thought they must have amputated it!

It’s not a game I’d be playing while trying to recover from a foot injury

 

[Maxabillions]

 

[Vindicater]

I assume he lost the foot and we are in a holding pattern as we try to make him work as a one footed midfielder.

Like Darcy Parish?

 

[Kong]

I don't mind the club's conservative approach with injuries in theory, but it's bizarre when:

A - it doesn't seem to help prevent reinjury
B - they either don't know or lie about how long they think the recovery and rehab will take

It's something I'd be interested in hearing Scott talk about in detail.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

is he alive

 

[Call Me Cake]

We may have been imagining him all along.

Not the way I play it at least..

Me too

[Bombers36]

Like Shiel he hasnt played for over 2 months (Shiel has had a couple of cameos as SUB).
If he ready in 3 weeks then it will be close enough to 3 months with no AFL games so surely he comes back through the twos and maybe gets a run against GWS (second last game). He's been sorely missed

 

[fairbump_playon]

Will settle foot?

 

[Maxabillions]

Afl.com.at injury update saying he is a test

 

[andleanback]

Afl.com.at injury update saying he is a test

Not sure what information they’re getting
Our own club has said still a couple away

 

[eth-dog]

In a welcome sight for Bombers fans though, midfielder Will Setterfield and key defender James Stewart were both present at Essendon’s main session on Tuesday, completing competitive running drills as they complete the tail end of their rehab programs.
