Agreed - he's presently equal 7th favourite to win. Given how many votes he's polled so far in his career - if we finish top 4 this year his odds would be shortening rapidly if he is maintaining his form.
I suppose when I said 'smokey' it was more in reference to oppo fans and a lot of media underestimating his talent. I truely believe he has a huge chance to win the Brownlow that I'd be willing to put my own money on it and I'm not much of a betting man.
What do we take from this? To me, having to head to the other side of the world on the eve of the season for further rehab with an expert suggests he's NOT ahead of schedule, or even on track. But of course, I'm not an expert's left arse cheek in this area, so I could be miles off.
Miles off, respectfully
These is a trip to expedite the process, because they (especially Lewis) are ahead of schedule and are in a position to go through this process

They wouldn't be going to a reconditioning facility if they were behind schedule, they would still be be avoiding too much activity.

People who’ve been to that very facility, and know exactly what it’s for, for obviously a similar ailment? No, not in a million years…
Seriously? That's like saying if your mum was going into the RMH for breast cancer treatment and talking to someone in remission and saying 'so how long until my mum is in remission?'. Just because a poster here has been to said clinic and knows of its purpose doesn't mean they are going to be able to give you a prognosis on other people's injuries.
Best response I could give would be that the prognosis is a positive one, you aint going to this late in the pre season , as these programs are intense, if your not tracking extremely wellPeople who’ve been to that very facility, and know exactly what it’s for, for obviously a similar ailment? No, not in a million years…
Him potentially being back main training by Feb as shared prior would be on the basis of this going well
If it goes well, the confidence in his knee will be high, translation on RTP will be known quickly

Now they've been reverted back, so we can match any bid, I believe.
His surname isn't Cripps or Daikos, so the umpires would certainly put him in that category.

In fairness to Daicos his name isn't Daikos either.

The umps haven't been too shy to swing him a vote or 3 in the last 2 years!
I though the plan was for after the bye to even be in a position to return so this feels quite on track still

The umps definitely like the cut of Jais jib. He's in with a big chance at the Brownlow this year.
I also wonder how many PCMs he will win over the journey, he's such a resilient player.

Does anyone know roughly when our intraclub match will be? Looking to go, surely it’s soon right

No qualms Oscar - just love this Simpsons moment and couldn't resist!
Should be the week prior to our hit out against Geelong. So pencil in around the 10th of February.
