I was thinking of draftees who got drafted with pre-existing long term injuries. Where they join a new club and are immediately watching from the sidelines and miss that shared experience.
But at least Dattoli got to experience a few weeks of preseason training with his teammates and could feel part of the group. He gets injured, will go home to spend time with his family over the Christmas break, then can come back in the new year and focus on his rehab.

I don't think it's unreasonable to feel a sense of 'season over' doom & gloom where Dattoli is concerned. That's his pre-season effectively wiped out. Go back over the journey to find an eighteen year old who has managed to have any meaningful impact in his first year with no pre-season... I don't imagine there'd be many at all.
We just have to hope for the best and be thankful it's not a more serious injury at this stage.

Arnold had a back fracture, and was off for 3 1/2 months (played his first game on July 13). Buller had to have surgery on a disc.
I'm presuming the 4 months may include a possible pre-season training block to get him ready for VFL. Unless he has any set backs, I'd guess he'll be playing VFL by early to mid May.

We'll be lucky if it's not career over. Have we screwed up another first round pick in a super strong draft? It kinda feels like it. I don't understand how this doesn't get picked up in pre-vetting.
God help us
Both Campbell and Gulden had to take time out in their first year due to stress fractures. It happens when a young body takes on a heavy training load and he won't be the last one. Unfortunately, there weren't any mature-age draftees in the first round this year (or any other year) so it is what it is and isn't anybody's fault - least of all the recruiters.

If I understand correctly the draftees are medically checked by the AFL and the results made available to all clubs. I doubt that susceptibility to stress injury would show up, although an existing one might. Given that he only experienced pain over the last few days I think we can safely assume that he didn't pull the wool over our eyes.
Jesse isn't the only one

Will be interesting to see who gets back first, how much longer for the second one to reform and who plays better once they're both back.

This is frustrating for the kid, it’s not unusual and not a Swans thing. You have a kid who probably overdid his personal program leading up the being drafted and this results. The nature of a stress fracture is it only show up when it shows up.

People thinking the Swans were negligent in overworking Dattoli have no idea.
Always amazed how people think they know the inner workings of the club based off a vague media statement.
The keyboard warriors must think we hire the dumbest people around. Just walk down to the local train station and hire the one passed out on the sidewalk as our fitness coach.

Even if Dattoli had not got injured. Maybe it would have been premature to pencil him in for round 1 and expect him to be best 22 for most of the season. And make a immediately difference in our forward line.
Most of our draftees did not really put together a full 1st season in the seniors (with the exception of Gulden). Even if they played seniors, they tended to be in and out of the side.
Maybe there is some upside in Dattoli playing some VFL initially. Especially with McVeigh now coaching the reserves. He used to be the forwards coach and hopefully the reserves team will be a better development side than it was.

May have been mentioned before, but can we please stop recruiting players named Jesse?

I think Buchanan might be the forwards coach now. But I think J. McVeigh would have learnt something coaching our forward group to pass onto Dattoli.

How would the recruiters have known he would do this injury in preseason training? They had no information in this. Are they gifted with ESP? This was a tragic occorence. A one off, the same as Bulker & Arnold. Just bad bloody luck. We had a similar situation with Gus last year. He never did make it back, even though he was playing good footy in the end. I think it was a mistake not to play him & Mills in the GF because we needed to win the ball at the coalface against the best mid combo in the comp

Thanks. Sounds like there is every reason to be positive albeit that it will take time. We have the resources and he will be surrounded by good people and hopefully be learning and developing other parts of his body as he recovers.Was a bit bored, so doing a bit of research into stress reaction injuries
