Unfortunately it's the finger we transplanted to replace the dodgy toe, so no he can't.

Alright. As much shit as he gets. He wasn’t ****ing around while injured. He definitely put on size.

Hoj - hamstring tightness

Hoj - hamstring tightness

Was there hamstring awareness before the tightness or was it hamstring surpriseness?

Another progress report on Goater's and CCJ's rehabilitation. Not much that's new but perhaps a little more detail.

Spoiler: Injury update regaring Goater, CCJ, Duursma and K Dawson

North Melbourne have provided an injury update on Josh Goater and Callum Coleman-Jones, two Roos who suffered Achilles injuries during the 2024 season.

Goater fell victim to the severe injury in the Kangaroos' first match of the season, ruling him out for the year after a promising back-end 2023.

The 21-year-old is set to begin reintegrating into match simulation soon after he increases his progression in skills drills.

Coleman-Jones has made a substantial breakthrough in his recovery, resuming running on-ground post the Christmas break.

The 25-year-old ruptured his Achilles in the Good Friday clash, with his timeline of return not expected until May or June.

"(He's) been faultless, really," Carlton's NM's head of performance Kevin White said.

"With those Achilles injuries, it takes so long to get that calf bulk and strength back again.

"We envisage that it'll be around May-June time before he's back playing games.

"Josh (Goater) has had a positive off-season and pre-season.

"(In the) pre-Christmas phase of training he joined in with the main group, so at the minute we're just cautious about ramping him up too quickly now that we're getting into match simulation.

"He'll be getting into our skill-based drills with the main group and then we'll slowly drip feed him into the 18 v 18 match simulation across the next two to three weeks."

Aidan Corr is also on the mend after hurting a finger tendon injury in a tackling drill during the Roos' Gold Coast camp before Christmas.

"He has been consolidating high levels of running and footy specific movement conditioning while he has been in a non-contact phase of this rehab program," White said.

"Next Friday he will have a review to get clearance to build up into full-contact training and match simulation in the next two to three weeks."

On other injury fronts, second-year forward Zane Duursma has been given the all-clear to join match simulation in his recovery from shoulder surgery, while Kallan Dawson is gradually increasing his training block as he overcomes a groin concern.

You don't think it's nice Carlton's head of performance taking an interest in our long term injuries ? You prefer he keeps playing on Sayer's phone ?

Shame on you.

I noticed that as well. Australian journalist professionalism at its best.

Applying the label of 'journalism' to Zero Hanger is a bit of a stretch imo

My favourite this offseason was the North preview in the Herald Sun where they talked about Biggie Nyuon as being key defensive depth this year in the main article, but then also had him correctly listed as delisted. Classic Herald Sun.
Don't they get anyone to proof read the articles anymore?

It’s the death of the sub editor - costs too much to check the actual facts
