Injury How much longer Mr Wells?

[Tas]

Just announced on twitter that Wells is still 3 weeks away. But worse is the Grima and Jmac also 3!week as well.

Did JMac have complications with his leg? 6 weeks originally has turned into 4 months by the time he returns.

Tippett will be back before Grima.

The Wells update is good. They didn't know when he would be back that's why they kept putting 2-3 weeks.

He seems like he is now through the recuperation and into the fitness and training phase.

Thus we have a definitive (hopefully) time frame.

3 weeks from today means he is right to go for VFL on the 9th of August. That is the day we play GWS.

Hopefully he can play as sub against the bulldogs the week after. Then play 2 full games before finals.

He reinjured it at training the week before hawthorn and won't play again this season.

That's just s**t news for the kid and confirms why the medico's were being so friggen cautious. A whole season of footy missed will have an effect on his development. I wonder if surgery is required on that tendon.

It really is disappointing for the guy. That's why I cannot understand the "The club needs to explain to it's supporters!" vibe some people be on (That ain't totally directed at you muttley, brother).

Head up, Taylor.

Just spend the time in the gym and work on what he can, sad that he has been injured but I would expect him to be in top shape in terms of his upper body come next year.

I think he has taken advantage of the time already. I saw him two weeks ago as I walked around Etihad before the Hawks game. He is very broad across the shoulders now. Good height too.

Yep he's got a good attitude too, realises he's young and knows he can make it at the top level, obviously frustrating for him, but I'm confident he'll bounce back!

Did you ask him what he did in the gym to improve his height? Whatever it is I could do with a few sessions.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

This year would be the most injuries we've had in a season for a number of years. To be 10-6 and almost certain to end up with 14+ wins is huge considering this.

Im fearing a Matthew Egan type scenario with this foot thing.

I'm sadly preparing for life without Wells.

Hope Im wrong

I thought the same myself.

Our draw will almost certainly be tougher next year. So, if we can manage to somehow have better luck with injuries, it may help compensate for the more difficult draw.

 

[Elite Master]

If Wells does come back how much longer does he have left? I mean he will be 30 next year with Dal Santo 31 and Harvey 37!

Did he go to Thailand & get a few inches added mate? Have heard can be done easily

 

[Greater Gattsby]

I saw some flog post that Wells got his second strike for illicit drugs hahaha

I could do nothing but laugh

...

But then I got really sad because we miss him so much.

I'm interested in Macmillan's injury. Broken fibula I wouldn't have thought would take close to 5 months usually.

More games against top four teams = easier draw

Missing a whole season with a hamstring as a young player is very worrying IMO.

Yeah apparently his bones are made of milk and the club are still trying to figure out how to make it a solid substance (leaving him out in the sun hasn't worked)

Send him to the Bega factory.

Well, it's his month coming up on the calendar, so I'm guessing he'd return against GWS on the ninth.

I agree. I would prefer the club kept their cards close to their chest. there is little upside in providing a running commentary on lingering injury issues, apart from satisfying member curiosity.
