Stupid question - thought I read last week that Clark's recently had surgery which I'm guessing relates to his foot issue?

If that's the case is it likely he's really a short term prospect or more in the medium to long term?

He had a homeopathic surgery which has a shortened recovery time

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Is that for real?

I've not heard of that, so I'm going to trust other more knowledgeable folk that that surgery is something of a positive, the recovery times and all that

They also gave Danger a quick once over, he'll be back from two broken ribs and a collapsed lung in just one week

Make sure you give me back before work in the morning.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

I didn't realize Clark was a "short" return, I thought he was out basically the rest of the year.

I understand they are hoping he can be back for the last couple of home and away for vfl. But uncertain at this stage

be nice if he can get back and we have Toby also from round 18 or 19. Together with some afl players trying to get in best 22. Might be a fun last few vfl games and hopefully they can make finals?

My mate, who is his cousin told me a month back, that they won't worry about playing him again this year.. that was back than, unless something has changed I don't think we will see him back this year..

I just posted similar. That some hope for last two games. But only if they think it is worth it. Will wait and decide at time

Conway... hasn't he been training soiled for weeks ? And his still medium term? I

well if you cant play out a full game without shitting yourself, fair enough.

Like the stanley one.

I dont think clark will play again this year no risks with him. Agree with the rest.

Yep…I posted elsewhere…has had good 6 weeks training block without any issues. Great news. I saw him after VFL game and he looked like he was in great shape (lost weight). But they are determined to keep him training rather than playing. I think the logic is that when you play you basically recover and only train once a week..at best.

My understanding is that they will stick with this until at least another 5-6 weeks And then work out whether to play out last few games in VFL or keep him training. I hope we get to see him

Agree. Last couple of weeks at best…but maybe put on ice for pre season

Did I hear he’d grown 5cm since being drafted - that would make him around 209cm

 

[CHAWKTS]

He looked stretched to me…certainly TALL but also less baby fat. So want to see him back this year

[D BRIDGE]

CHAWKTS did you mention earlier that Conway had grown 4cm taller since being drafted?

So he might be around 208cm now if so.

Yep. That is what he said. Approx

Think he was 204 when drafted as you say….listed on website as 206 now (would have been pre season)…he looked tall!

I don’t know if the “short term” is a mistake or deliberate obfuscation.

Nothing beats magic water after all.

thats nothing as op for recovery as an upcoming final. If the GF was next week he'd be playing.

and you know what happens when you play seriously compromised players in a GF...

[dazbroncos]

Absolutely agree.

He will need a couple of vfl games but i believe theres a role for him in the afl side and its a big 6 weeks for him to impress to get a contract with us or someone else.

hes been out for a year... hes gotta play 4 weeks back to back surely even if they manage his game loads - but yes... he can add to the 23

GO Catters
