I was hoping Cavka would be ready for preseason. Looks like this foot injury might be career ending as some have said.

Think we know why he dropped now
Could be another Hagdorn fail don't know how long a hernia operation takes to heal.
Their next tweet suggests about 2 months.
Not a great start if true. Means he won't have a full preseason.

Just had hernia surgery myself, 10 days ago. If he is feeling anything like me, the thought of even jogging, let alone twisting, kicking, bending over faster than an 80 year old, or lifting anything heavier than a few kgs is a long way off.

I had an umbilical hernia (belly button) fixed when I had my gall bladder removed. It took ages to feel like you could do things properly.
It was probably about 6 weeks I reckon
Had the same surgery done a few years ago and took a good 6 weeks before I could run and get back into the gym. It has been 3 years and have not had a problem since. He will lose a fair bit of fitness so we might not see him over the first few games of the season.

From the GF we will be better of with EMac, Duggan & Jetta so it's not like we are starting the season worse off.
Had Yeo starting on the wing in my best 22 with Jetta on the HF line and Hill out of the 22.
Why would Hill be out of the 22?
My best 22 forward line is:
HF Lecras McGovern Jetta
F Darling Kennedy Cripps
I Sheed Lycett Ellis Duggan
No space for Hill. Lots of quality competition this year. Hill would be first into the forward line on injury/loss of form.

I'm not sure they are going to use Jetta in the forward 6. All indications from the club (listen to the various interviews - eg Priddis) so far have been he will likely play off the half back and wing. He is such a classy player and having his run and carry out of defence should open up our forward line which is already damaging, and with Gov or another CHF (other than Darling) in the mix there are going to be plenty of good leading and marking targets inside 50.
Hill wasn't looking like being in our B22 at the start of last season but with 40 goals it'd be a bit harsh if he got dropped round 1 in 2016. But he'll be under pressure to keep his spot just like Darling and Cripps. Although with Cavka's injury looking pretty dire we are not exactly blessed with small/med forward depth atm so it might be important for Hill to maintain/improve AFL form for when LeCras decides to retire.

Gaff on one wing, Jetta on the other.
I won't reproduce my full team here (it's in the other thread), but the only player that would come out of my side to accommodate Hill would be Butler. Jetta would push to the HBF and Hill into the forward line.
I prefer Jetta and Cripps' speed causing damage in the forward line. Hill is unlucky and would be a walk up start in the team if not for our depth.
Given the way the game is played today, most players will play between the arcs anyway making traditional positions almost meaningless other than for KPP.
