Nah talls get more leeway the only bright side is by time he's ready to go again it'll be a bloody long time since a head knock.

Ah well.
It happens.
Sorry for the poor bloke.
Place him on the LTI list and draft someone tall in the MSD or the SSP.
Oh wait. That'd be forward thinking and pro active. Silly me.

All the best to Todd but I still had Mitch and Jack as the 2 main tall fowards with the 3rd role being a contest between lord, jeremy, esava and Todd. Wouldn't mind seeing Dante play up foward a bit too so I think we have good options but I feel for Todd

All respect to Todd but I am excited to see others get opportunities.
Achilles is a 12 month injury unfortunately.

We sign both Lai and Watkins, neither to play AFL but sure make the 2’s bloody strong.Ah well.

Think Soldo will play Forward, Sweet Ruck.

Could big Ivan get a go upfoward? You never know could be the guys calling he looked ok the bit he played up foward last year?
The Fertiliser be trollin'
Look I’m not going to discount a speedy recovery as he is in a professional environment.
But Achilles rupture is not one you want to rush. General advice is no explosive movement for 12 months. I may have experience with this type of injury.
As todd is not particularly explosive. It may not impact him that badly in the long run, and may be a blessing for his concussion issues. But I highly doubt we see him in 2025.

NOT OOPY GOOPY!
BOMB IT TO IVAN!!
Some people have no luck
Bad luck for Todd, hope he comes back stronger.
Poor Kenny hasn't got the cattle up forward, can see the media pushing this crap already.

Any news on how it happened? Was it a random ping or was it forced by an incident in a collision etc?

His Achilles Heel was concussion. Now it’s his achilles.

Or as Lynda Loades famously says, his achilles hill.
This could be the best thing for Todd. Unless he kicks himself in the head with the moonboot it will mean at least 18 months between head knocks. That should ensure he doesn’t become a McCartin. The brain does better if there is a gap between head knocks.
Bizarrely, Todd is more likely to have a longer career now that he has had this injury than if he didn’t and played Round 1.
This could work out well for Port too. We have cover in his position- Finlayson Lord Soldo Whitlock Ratugolea Walsh Visentini. It has happened so early that we can use the LTI list on Watkins or Lai or to plug the hole in the tall back depth.
Hope the kid sees the silver lining and comes back stronger and fitter.
