The big positive about that is he may not be finished. He went downhill so quick this year.

All our older guys struggled badly for fitness this year unfortunately. Wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall around Geelong to get a few insights into how they are getting their ageing stars cherry ripe.

Qscan Injury Report: McKenna Available

The Brisbane Lions expect Conor McKenna to be available for next week’s Round One clash against Fremantle.

www.lions.com.au

According to this Doedee will be available after the Round 2 bye which means he could debut against Collingwood on Easter Thursday. McKenna good to go v Freo if the coaches opt to bring him straight back in. No Torrent in this list so hopefully he is good to go for the start of the VFL season.

 

[T Rick]

Dev has apparently dislocated a shoulder and will be out for at least 4 weeks.

 

[T Rick]

Counting Hippy and Cam, we now have 7 of our "best 22" players who have had ACL ruptures...just seems an extraordinary number for such a ghastly injury:
Hipwood, Rayner, Ashcroft, Coleman, Doedee, Linc (tbc) and Gardiner (tbc).

Will is back kicking the footy around with the boys.

I have no basis on which to comment but I get the sense, reading between the lines, that Will may have had some setbacks or issues during his rehab. Hopefully, that is not the case and he is on track now, if that was the case.

When did Ashcroft do his ACL, if his expected return is around Round 16 then that is pretty close to a 12 months of recovery.

has had an acute shoulder dislocation from the VFL game and will miss 4-6 weeks. Poor Noah can't take a trick...my guess is that he will be headed back in for surgery post season.

 

[Dalions]

At least positive news about Michael; the report last week kind of made it sound like his season might be done but alas the new report says he’ll be back playing in a weeks time.

It’s said that about ten times in the last 6 months

 

[Albertonarmy]

True

Notice poor Carter Michael is out for the season with another Quad. Good player who just can't stay on the field
