I assume it was on channel 7 because it was on our Southern Cross news last night, also it was on Sunrise across the bottom of the rolling screen.

Seeing Roughie back on the field will bring a year to the eye. Love the guy, an amazing bloke and a club champion.
Awesome stuff. Imagine Rough, Cyril, Gunners, Vickery, Poppy, Bruest. Thats a handy forward 6 if they're all fit.
Playing is one thing... start making future father-son selections.

If it was on 7 then maybe delete 'news' & search for 'sensationalist' + 'opinion'.
Just sayin...
Less Vickery more Sicily

Honestly don't get how that is possible if he is continuing treatment until June-July next year according to a few reports about it over the past few months. I would love, love, love to see Roughy running out this year but if he is continuing treatment I am not sure how it would be possible. I am reading 'hopeful' as 'we wish he could be out there'. I am tempering my expectations and I still don't expect him to be out there until 2018. His recovery is 1,000,000,000 times more important than him being out on the field.

Get your head around it.
The word from a few very good posters is that he WILL play in 2017.

Trying to keep a lid on it but it's like combining Viagra with a pair of early 90s parachute material track pants...

I want that just as much as everybody. Until I hear the great man himself, or his doctors say that they hope he will play in Round 1 or in 2017 at all, then I am tempering expectations. Anything I have read about his treatment is that it will go through to June-July of next year. Look if immunothreapy is so non-debilitating at the later stages that it allows an athlete to compete then I will do cartwheels all the way to the MCG for his first game back. The cautious/realist/skeptical side of me is prevailing and I just wonder if it is possible for him to come back prior to his treatment ending.
If you read Jack's full comments - they definitely read as more of a 'I wish this was so' rather than 'take it to the bank - he'll be making the Bombers defenders wish they were still suspended':
"Like everyone else, I'm hopeful he'll be there for round one but I guess his health is more important than anything else," Gunston said on Monday.
"That's (just) my hope. I miss playing with the big fella. I don't know where's he at or what situation he's in but it's good to see him out there training.
I am willing to get on the Roughy in 2017 bandwagon - but expecting it in Round 1 may be a little too optimistic.
