Reasonably important for balance though....Does Guthrie actually need his toe? Surely with the boot on the toe isn't even that important for kicking?

Much appreciated the feed backPost bye I think. I bumped into him at a function a few weeks back and he said he was a month away. Be good to see him back and get some consistent vfl games into him ahead of an important pre season
I just heard 10 minutes ago that he had surgery ”this week” so I thought it might have been today (but it might have been in line with what you heard - he is having it this week).Hearing that Guthrie is having surgery on Friday on his toe and will be out for up to 6 weeks.
Sad to hear this. But it fits with the 'surgery as a last resort' m.o. And hopefully it means Guth can now actually make meaningful progress towards returning to the field, sooner rather than later.Hearing that Guthrie is having surgery on Friday on his toe and will be out for up to 6 weeks.
You saying just cut it off then?

Guthrie out until September, operation tomorrow, according to channel 7 news.That and menegola out long term might explain the hardie pick.
“He will undergo surgery on Friday, and we hope to have him back playing in the later stages of the season.”According to this its several months, pretty much season over for him.
Health Update | Guthrie to Undergo Surgery
Geelong GM of Football Simon Lloyd has provided an update on Cats midfielder Cam Guthriewww.geelongcats.com.au
"Hope" just like they "hoped" it would only be a short term injury!!! He's done for the year!!!“He will undergo surgery on Friday, and we hope to have him back playing in the later stages of the season.”
Maybe, maybe not."Hope" just like they "hoped" it would only be a short term injury!!! He's done for the year!!!
Especially if we miss finalsMaybe, maybe not.
Even if we scrape in, Cam will be VERY underdone. Our best 2-way mid, and 2x B&F, his absence reflects our seasonEspecially if we miss finals

Not sure if I'm Captain Obvious or my alter ego Mr Nuffy here, but our preparation this season has been woeful. And we've really humped the pooch on Guffers. 3 weeks out THEN surgery? 2022 year of the Cats, 2023 year of the kittens.One of the great misconceptions floating around relates to our depth, and it's being perpetuated by lazy journalists who are just looking for clickbait, and working on the assumption that the average nuffy falls into whatever narrative they pedal.
Seriously, take a look at the lists across the AFL and tell me a list that bats deeper than Geelong's. Yeah I get it, the 30th player on the list is not as good as the 10th, but that's not really the point is it? Based purely on the depth of talent on our list, I'd need some serious convincing that we're not #1.
I talk to people in coaching ranks at other clubs and it's not even up for debate. What is up for debate is whether our current issues relate to list depth, or lack of system and cohesion with game-plan when you have a tipping point with too many regular best 22 available. The answer is pretty clear based on people I talk to who have a clue.
The m.o. with Guthrie is the same as it has been for years with injured players down at the Cattery. Surgery is seen as a last resort, after all other prospects for healing/recovery have been exhausted. I feel confident that the players themselves would be very supportive of this approach. And, despite the inevitable frustration that goes with delays like this one, I'm entirely comfortable with what the GFC consistently does to put the welfare of their own players before the perceived needs of the team.Not sure if I'm Captain Obvious or my alter ego Mr Nuffy here, but our preparation this season has been woeful.

He's most likely out catching Southern Bluefin Tuna the season would be off and running now down his way.When I see Danger limping and looking really rough in the rooms as he goes off v Adelaide.
My head:
"Man that looks sore.. we got 4 games til the bye now and I reckon he will miss all of them + I now give us no shot v the Tiges and Freo because injuries are just adding up too much... season is in big trouble right now even though we are about to chalk up a win against the Crows".
Chris Scott a couple of days after Danger is subbed off:
"Danger could push tp play this week v the Tiges but we will probably be conservative"
My head:
"Ok, Scott sounds so confident with Danger that maybe he does just miss one or two".
Should have just trusted my gut.
It's hard to see at this stageJust wondering what is up with Stanley and his eye? Will he be back this year?
What possible difference does it make what you or any supporter feels about Danger's hammy??When I see Danger limping and looking really rough in the rooms as he goes off v Adelaide.

Unprecedented nerve injury at the eye socket from the sound of things.Just wondering what is up with Stanley and his eye? Will he be back this year?
