Hopefully that’s a large weight lifted off his shoulders. Can’t wait until he’s back out there. Just needs his body to play nice and give him a chance. He’s a ripper.

I would’ve only given 1 year then reassessed

But congrats George
Our media team should announce this now since its been leaked
We need to be mindful of the effect any decision on Sausage will have on the whole group. Cut him and they will think that at the first sign of trouble that Club lets you go. So in my view he must be contracted again as a show of support and overall integrity. Talent almost an afterthought to the solidarity imperative.
I think you might have the wrong end of the pineapple on this oneThat's total bullsh*t.
TT was legitimately employed by NM a number of months ago with the club doing everything for him.
Chom has been doing more rehab than Robert Downey Jnr... albeit of a different variety & we held him.
NM's 'integrity' can't be tested on this one - sorry.
He did my second shoulder reco, gave me a lartajet reconstruction which locks the shoulder into place with a bone graft. Between my first and second I feel like my should dislocated or sublaxed about 200 times, since Greg looked at it 6 years ago, nothing!Greg Hoy at Melbourne Orthopaedic Group who does most of the AFL shoulder and arm stuff.
He suggested it straight up with my first reco as “regardless what I find once I have a look inside with keyhole surgery a bicep tenodesis will strengthen the joint. What I basically do is sever the bicep tendon then pull it apart into strands which I plait back together like hair then reattach using disolvable screws.”
When he had a look inside there was wear and tear plus arthritis which he cut out.
Later he did the same on the opposite shoulder. Unfortunately I snapped it off a week post op when I slipped on wet concrete and prematurely extended my arm from it’s sling. I was heading overseas the following day so I had that bicep hanging loose for a few weeks before he redid it upon my return. As it was the second go at that one he couldn’t reattach it to it’s natural insertion point near the collarbone so instead he had to reattach it at the top of my arm (humerus). It took awhile but with weights and rehab both are far stronger structurally than they were prior.
That was the only injury. Otherwise both shoulders were simply showing the signs of growing up a competitive swimmer and playing so much contact sport with regular weight training. I had suffered AC Joint injuries to both over the years as well though and each felt unstable at some point.
Good luck with yours.
That’s a blatant lieYes but you'd also have signed Magoo for a million dollars per season.
The club would have a good idea of what he is capable of. He’s already played quite a few games in the VFL. I’m sure he’s not being paid the earth. It just gives the guy some certainty.2 year deal? Staggering.
Sure, he’s probably a great guy and it’s a feel-good story, but yeah, whatever. The club knows what it’s doing. Apparently.
Is the club on Strava? I want to give it kudos.
1 year would’ve given him certainty alsoThe club would have a good idea of what he is capable of. He’s already played quite a few games in the VFL. I’m sure he’s not being paid the earth. It just gives the guy some certainty.
^its always fun seeing the idiots out themselvesGood show of faith in the kid, and if his body comes right, hopefully he will remember that we looked after him.
Nostrils isn't a fan of it, so I'm pretty comfortable it's a good move.
I just rolled my eyes MerlinI think you might have the wrong end of the pineapple on this one

Also, ecstatic for Sausage, we are an amazing club.
Nah mate you said it about 100 timesThat’s a blatant lie
For $800k I said not a milNah mate you said it about 100 times
I do have a memory of you saying this sort of stuff re McKay. The only times you upped his offer was to be sure to trigger band 1.For $800k I said not a mil
The reasoning being that it would force a club to pay more and trigger band 1
As it wasn’t worth losing him for only band 2
Luckily a club paid that anyway
There's always dills that'll find negatives in anything. 12 months to rehab then 12 months to get it going onfield.My favourite narrative in here is the people that think 1 year is fine but 2 years is abhorrent Get a grip. George’s 200K is not costing us anyone that matters
