Yeah he didn't need a reco, but its an ACL strain he is recovering from. Pretty sure Hawks have 'ACL' down for his injury issue on the official website.

It's now round '7-8' but.
It's been pushed back again. Slightly at this stage, but I don't think anyone would be shocked if we keep getting these updates.
Hopefully when he does return he gets a good run at it without injury. Obviously shapes as just about the most important player on our list.

As I said when he did the injury it’s my gut feel and every couple of weeks it gets pushed out, Sammy now saying it’s his other knee that’s giving him grief.

Lewis back into full training next week. Round 7 the most realistic return.
Weddle is back in full training.
Jeka not far off.

Lewis back in full training will be good to see. It’s a stepping stone in is return. Hopefully he’s able to ramp up his training without issue.

Not sure I agree - I like general vibes myself
PS I had a gut feeling last week and surmised that I had diarrhoea
I was right

I think I remember when Hustwaite copped the head knock, it was midway through the 1st quarter. He played on but you could see he wasn't himself.
I must admit I'm really liking the honesty with the injury reports this season. The last 3-4 years it always seemed like the club was taking the mickey out of us fans with the mixed / unclear messages.

I mean its only been every year when he has had minor or lesser injuries which just stretch out.
After 6 years its obvious his body isnt made for AFL level football.
Happy to be quoted and mocked if he ever plays more than 18 games in a season. That even allows for us making finals before he finishes up.

You were questioning their gut feel. Id say their gut feel was spot on.

Who has said he will miss the year? I think he will never play more than 18 games in a year. I think he will miss more games this year after he returns - whenever that is.
Do you think he is someone we build a succesful team around?

This is where I move slowly away from the keyboard and ignore all possible joke opportunities that may or may not have just arisen.
On a slightly cheerier note arising from the injury report, the footage of Weddell stepping a bloke and then putting his foot down to burst free showed how powerful a unit that kid really is. Don’t know how good a footballer he will end up being but he’s a formidable athlete for sure.
