Exactly right.If we're actually considering having Fyfe return through the WAFL we're dumber than I thought. You don't return a player of Fyfe's calibre through the WAFL, he's above that, he's better than that.
Didn’t he have the surgery immediately after the incident last week?With Jyes injury, he would have had surgery by now on not ? Surely sooner rather than later ,they would know the extend of the damage and prognosis of a full recovery or not ?
Make sure he’s right and give him a 6 month preseason.

Was hoping they’d do it tbh. Long term view, him playing again this year won’t be the difference.
Unless he's not actually match fit yet and they want him to play limited minutes, in which case it's a choice between more training or a half / three quarters in a WAFL game.Exactly right.
If he’s fit to ply WAFL he’s fit to play AFL.
Don’t want some WAFL no-name sniping him on Saturday for his 15 min of fame
If he’s only ready for half a game, then you return him via wafl.If we're actually considering having Fyfe return through the WAFL we're dumber than I thought. You don't return a player of Fyfe's calibre through the WAFL, he's above that, he's better than that.
To be honest, from watching him play, I'm not sure he was going to get much more out of playing WAFL this year anyway. The only thing that looks like holding him back from annihilating that level is his size and tank.Amiss playing as many games against men in the WAFL and every now and then in the AFL could make a substantial difference next year, particularly if Lobb leaves and we are looking for the next tall to stand up. The kidney injury will also mean that even if he gets a 6 month preseason he is likely to be set back then where he was this year further in terms of his physical development anyway.

if he’s ready for a full match then you return him via afl.
no one is above getting conditioning in the wafl / vfl.

It's probably the extra couple AFL games he'd have played this year that hurts the most
Thank you for the great news.Sorry to bump this thread.
Jye had a split in his kidney from a front on knee in a making contest. The surgery was to sew up the split & he is doing well in recovery. He now has a small (very small) chance of the same injury happening again, but it would need a very similar incident for it to occur.
They said it was a 12 week injury, with the club obviously writing off the year to allow him to recover fully. He will head down south for 4 weeks once their happy it has settled down & then he will head back to the club & begin rehab & light training including weights.
At this stage there is no risk to his career.

Not yet we don’t. He did it at Training on Thu. Some posters seem to think because he did it at training it is only mild. I did a cracker of a Hamstring tear at training. Hopefully grade one tear, which is usually 3-4 weeks. Grade 2 is double that. Grade 3 tear and could be surgery and 3-4 months. I’m predicting grade 1 tear in the absence of no information.Do we know the severity of chappys hammy?
