time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
gibcus needs 1.5 years to recover from
an acl
wtf is going on

wtf is going on
Round 1 injury ~ tracking for early rounds. It'll be 379 days as commentators love saying about long injuries. Given his injury history, given his position has been taken by Miller, Blight or Kosi ~ ease the boy back into footy.
Only game I saw B. King killed him.

Luckless Richmond defender Josh Gibcus will miss the first six to eight weeks of the season as he recovers slower than expected from his long-term knee injury.
The key defender, who has played two games in the last two seasons, has not suffered a specific setback but has not recovered as the club expected.

Richmond confirmed on Tuesday that Gibcus would not be available for the early rounds of the season. A club source who could not be named said expectations were that Gibcus would miss at least the first month and possibly about two months of the season.
“He went a bit slower through the early stages of his rehab than we would have liked, but we cannot do anything about that because everyone’s body responds in different ways,” Richmond high-performance manager Ben Serpell said.
“So, he is still a long-term injury prospect, but is tracking quite well otherwise.
“We are unlikely to see Josh in the early rounds. Judson Clarke is the one leading the way among the ACL guys and he is looking at coming back around April.”

Gibcus tore his ACL in round two last season and required a knee reconstruction, sidelining him for the year. The knee injury came after he missed all of 2023 with a severe hamstring injury that required surgery.
Gibcus was taken at pick nine in the 2021 draft and while he has managed just 20 games to date due to his injuries he showed enough in those games for Richmond fans to be excited by his potential.
“Josh has had two traumatic injuries season on season, which is why what we decided to do is take a conservative approach with him,” Serpell said.
“Josh is a long-term prospect and as we have said all along, we want to look after him. I think all Richmond fans would agree that once he is back, we want him to stay in the team instead of being in rehab again.”
Meanwhile, gun first year player Josh Smillie, who at pick nine was one of the batch of top picks taken by Richmond last year with a rich draft hand, suffered a hamstring injury in training on Tuesday.
“Josh has come to the club and had a sporadic load over the last little while, which is typical of most first years,” Serpell said.
“Because of that [and his minor hamstring issue] we have decided to take a conservative approach with him and give him some consistent training.
“We still expect him to be around the mark for the early parts of the season, hopefully by trial [game] time.”

Josh will be fine. Astbury, Grimes even Rance didnt play much in their first 4 years. Even Ben Miller only debuted in his 4th year.Luckless Richmond defender Josh Gibcus will miss the first six to eight weeks of the season as he recovers slower than expected from his long-term knee injury.

A pity Miller got back. Simpleton of a footballer. Always slow to react.

Injuries is part of sport.
But 15mths to recover from a knee has me concerned.

Gibcus may as well retire now
Nah ~ no one gets delisted while injured. Young gun KPD Gibus be given a chance to play. Medical retirement for concussion maybe. Looks like Dogs Johannisen has similar serious hammy problems.
