Hay stop it
Get ready Will. You don't wanna miss this.
He may very well be. He’s a momentum changing player. Changed the course of the Adelaide game and corrected us.

The nice thing is that we’re seeing that we have a hand full of players who are capable of staging the team over the line. Great to see, and vital in finals.
God speed, Will.

Yup, and was great to see Newk dominate. If you could critique his season it would be that he had a slow start. Which I think many laid at the feet of Days absence. For him to play well without Day was great to see. Great seeing Frenchie get more time in the guts too.

What’s the prognosis on the shoulder? Nobody seems to be able to give clear feedback about the state of the injury (the injury list has said TBC since he injured it). Everyone was excited about it not being a break yet here we are looking like he’s going to miss four games (counting the bye as a game). Is he done for the year? Is the prelim an option? Would we bring him straight into a grand final? It’s really frustrating. Finals is Will Day’s time to shine. We need him back out there this weekend!
Someone last week mentioned that his injury which is more common in NFL is something players can come back from in 4 weeks but every player is different. If he’s out they’ll announce it early.

When you say 4 weeks do you mean misses four weeks (returns 5 weeks from time of injury) or misses 3 weeks (returns 4 weeks from time of injury). If it’s the latter he should be back this weekend.
The injury is not some something you usually see occur in AFL players and I'd assume it would be the NFL front line blockers player that cop that type of injury. The thing is those NFL players don't have to run around the way Will Day would for as long as he does. The comment was that it's around a 1 month injury layoff so all we can unfortunately do is wait.
Win it for Will!
He's a very big boy.

Have heard from someone close to it that he would almost certainly have played in the prelim if we had made it

Goes to show how hard it is to get an accurate assessment of an injury. Hawthorn had literal weeks, multiple imaging technologies and consultation with specialists to build up understanding of this injury and the risks involved. Even then it was only once they opened him up for surgery that they could fully understand how risky it would’ve been to play him.
Melbourne docs had none of that and were expected to make a call within minutes on very limited information.
Does this mean their is an argument that once again god favours hawthorn by pushing all those goals particularly Sics into the post it saved will day from heading out into a Sydney final and doing serious damage…
Very lucky he didn’t play in the end

Nah the Melbourne medical team simply dropped the ball on that. Signs were clear as day Trac should have been sent for further assessment and not put back on the field. And that's from someone who has worked in that space and is very empathetic to the complexity and difficulty of those situations.

Umm and I forgetting where Hawthorn refused to sub day and kept playing him despite anyone with sight could see he was struggling to even walk? Hawthorn subbed Day instantly and made the call on monday each week he wasn't fit.
It actually highlight the offensive disregard to Petracca's health taken by the Melbourne medical team
