Might give Jack Carroll, Sam Philp, David Cuningham etc opportunities that they might not have got otherwise.
Sam Walsh will be back by mid year at his best. This might mean that we have more weapons in our arsenal by then.
If Sam Walsh being injured is the difference to us being successful or not we have issues. I personally don't believe that it will be.

Jack Carrol should step straight in. Or we could play Blacres, Williams or Doch more on the inside in the first half of the year.

Yeah but you have to hope that BTDG can find someone to help him celebrate his Christmas on December 24.
Most recover in 4-6 weeks, then build back up to normal levels of physical activity. Given it's Walsh, think he would be right for round 1.
Read the article and you would have a better understanding as to why
There's a rookie listed kid by the name of Ed who's stocks are rising by the minute.
Couldn't think of a better bloke to have in the trenches when it gets down and dirty against teams like the Tiggs and Cats early in the season.
Get well Sammy, and we'll see you later on in the year bigger and better than ever.
Another nice melt
I know you get inside info mate, but no one knows, at this stage, how Walsh pulls up after that procedure
Russell stood on walshy when giving him a full body massage and his back gave way
Hope your all well mate. I had the same emergency surgery because of the cauda equina nerves being impacted. 5 years on i am not the same and still have flare ups from time to time and i am in no way a professional athlete.
I wish Sam all the best but i would not expect him to play for at least half the season.

Well I’m confident that he will be play Round 1.
Can you elaborate on this agro? Club has ruled him out for at the least the first month and has set no timeline for a return.

I get that it was a less serious matter but how much down time did he shave off his ankle injury?
Echo these comments - Australian medicos have always positioned spinal surgery as a last resort.
One of the complications with any spinal surgery is that the wound does not heal properly and you get cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
CSF is the stuff our brains are sitting in so fluctuations with it can cause serious issues, including vertigo and nausea.
This is the post-back surgery condition GSW HC Steve Kerr was dealing with several years ago.
Would have been nice to have had the op on the 22nd August but no point explaining that to anyone that is shitting on the club for only doing this now.
I suspect they would have had a course of cortisone injections to try to back-off the inflammation caused by the disc protrusion, before progressing to surgery when that didn't produce a sustained response.
Sure but the literature seems to show 10 week best case up to 6 months for athletes returning to contact sports. Seems to be an approx success rate of 80-90% depending on severity etc.
You’d hope that given they thought he may not need surgery the severity is on the lower end so better odds of successful surgery. Also Walsh’s professionalism should increase odds of a success and on the faster side of things. Seems likely to miss at least the early rounds though.
Can't believe there are so many qualified GPs in a Bigfooty sub!
I've had a bulging L4/L5 for 25 years and can do farming stuff all day when necessary with zero issues as long as I'm smart about it - not nearly the same as playing AFL but I don't have a team of medicos following me around 24/7.
This gives the other young mids a chance to have a sustained crack at it: Dow, Carroll etc.
Was much more devo over Doc's injuries in previous years. Walsh is a freak and he'll follow his rehab etc. to the letter, the removal of the medi-sub rule will likely help him return faster as well.

The Christmas turkey may not taste quite so good...but through adversity comes opportunity. Hopefully it provides an opportunity for someone else to step up and make us even stronger.

This is not a 4-6 week injury, our bye is round 15 the second last week of June I doubt we’ll see him before then, we can’t afford to risk the clubs number one asset, hopefully we learn from the mistakes made with Cripps and Hewitts injuries over the last couple of years.
Hewett had back concerns while at Sydney
A one week injury has turned into 8+ months.

Really hope Walsh has a great recovery - he's an absolute gun.
Amazed to see that Carlton have now have three players (inc Fogarty and Hewett) recovering from back surgery, I can't recall a club with that many players needing back surgery/recovery over the same period.
