They both did their knees around the same time didn't they? I think they should be ready to do a pre-season. Like Jako when he came back from his knee, the first year back is always going to be the toughest.

With about 2 weeks to go in the season I remember reading something about Read and Morrison being fully ready to start pre-season training with the rest of the team. They have basically recovered from their injuries.
I really hope they both can come back and play good footy cause this will be their last chance Id say.

I dont thikn it will be their last chance just yet. We have a lot of midfielders and other people, and they have good potential. Just because they are injured at present is no reason not to persist with them because they can both be very good footballers.

They have basically recovered from their injuries. With knees, as I understand it you're basically back to training after a couple of months but no footy for the rest of the year. IIRC, Schwarz came back and played for Melbourne the same year after he did a knee and promptly blew it again.
So both should be training.
Can't wait to see them back.
Lets all just pray (and im not even religious) that Read and Morrison dont make it a 3 peat! :(
Let's hope there both in the team come round 1 after impressive pre seasons!

I know, its just that if they have a poor year or do their knees again I reckon Woosha will want rid of them. He'll see them as a liability.

I hope they are ready for the season coming.
They were both sorely missed last year and we lacked small defenders in a huge way. I am looking forward to seeing Reid back again.....
i dont think we can expect miracles from Read and Morrison as its a pretty common fact that players take a good season or so before they get back to their best

Like to think he could hit the ground running again.

The thing with Read is he didn't re-do his knee, he did his good one didn't he? so he has had 2 but only one on each knee, dunno if thats good or bad meaning he may be more prone to doing another?
I look forward(and pray) that they are both fit and ready for 2002, we miss ready in the backline and morrison across half back was always good to watch!

Spot on
He'll be fine. He's had two freak accidents in two years, and no matter how many mirrors he's broken, his luck is due to change.
I'm really looking forward to getting both Ready and Morrison back, they add a lot to our team.
