Hearting a whisper he may need an operation on his ankle . Some clean up work to be done. Maybe EOS but maybe before then if the next few weeks do not go as smooth as they would like.

 

[ghostdog]

My Boy is broken

Mine isn't. He fixes stuff! Tommy to CHF!

 

[BomberTime]

Just do the surgery and put him on ice until preseason.

Not his year.

 

[fishardansin]

Chronic load.. that doesn't sound good

Peter North special.

Doesn’t sound great.

I rate Jones as the the best young player on our list.

 

[naraku]

Jones is fit according to our site.

I am guessing he will play VFL again, but do wonder about the temptation to bring him straight in ?

 

[bennyg12]

Straight in why not

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Straight in why not

I'd prefer him to get injured playing AFL rather than VFL.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Says minutes won’t be restricted, I say just bring him in.

Week in the 2s then in for port. Positive is we should have stringer, Jones, langford and snell all back in the forward half after the bye.

Harrison Jones​

Key stats: One goal, 12 disposals, two marks

"It was Harry's first game back after that stint with his ankle injury. It was pleasing to see him out on the ground being able to play a full game and get through. It was also good to see him compete for those aerial balls and meet the ball at its highest point, which is something he's known for. He kicked a goal and should have kicked another, so it was pleasing to see him have some influence on the scoreboard."

My boy!

 

[maskmcgee]

He kicked a goal and should have kicked another

Well why didn't he kick another?

 

[ant555]

Well why didn't he kick another?

He missed.

 

[carloss]

He'll need a few games to run into some form.

 

[ghostdog]

We've gone from an inside whisper about the possibility of an ankle operation to being named in the side within a week and a half.

If he reinjures that ankle, I will be livid. The season is done. We profit nothing by rushing his return.

I'm livid already in antici

[Chief Hopper]

We've been sorely missing Jones in the fwd line all season.

If he goes down then, you know what time it is...

 

[andleanback]

He put together 3/4 weeks of solid training without any ankle niggles I’ve heard. If he reinjures it tomorrow it’s just bad luck. He’s fit to play.

Looking back through the thread and seeing how well guys coming back from injury early go, hopefully it goes better than Langford, Stringer etc and he gets through unscathed.

Or, ya know, the inside whisper could have just been BS.

He'll be fine.

My whispers are better.

Never in doubt.

ant555 might not think so.

Call Me Cake, has your source just landed though. We need a new one for the trade - draft period.
