Lachie Neale tore his plantar fasciitis in the grand final and didn’t require surgery??

Yep, and he'd been wearing a moon boot after every match for the previous 10 weeks.

Hopefully. But again, we just don't know. Like Michell, It can flare up and get worse. But Nick, being younger, might help his cause.

We just have to wait and see. He won't be able to run, probably will take some time off legs and hope the pain subsides, then try to attempt running if he is pain free.
But these things are unpredictable.

They'll put him in an anti-gravity treadmill and gradually increase the weight.

Really not ideal. I hope it’s super mild and everything goes smoothly. He’s one player we can’t have missing games. Fingers crossed.

While you wouldn't want him or anyone missing games, I think we have a deeper squad to cover for more injuries. You don't want to be carlton and rely on a player or two. Injuries happen in sport.

But there is time between now and opening round to get it right, as long as it doesn't get worse. If there is anyone that will do everything to get it fixed, it'll be Nick.

Thanks for the explanations “I feel better now”

They're the ones I wear - Axign also make arch support thongs, also good.

Support thongs? That's an oxymoron surely.

I have this mad feeling that Peter may have had this plantar injury and it was the first time I had ever heard of it. It was said to be career threatening at the time.

He had knee issues which is why he moved to the forward pocket.
