Wonder if O'Meara may be undergoing a similar procedure to what Patton had done in Sweden in Jan 2012. He had patellar tendinopathy through his draft year, had the surgery to fix it and the rehab time looks to be similar. From memory Patton started playing twos around the start of May (3-4 months post-surgery) and spent about a month there because he'd missed the bulk of his first pre-season so needed at least a bit of match fitness.

No issues since, not with that knee anyway. He struggled with fitness at AFL level due to no pre-season but smashed the following pre-season, so it definitely worked for him.

End of Season Injury Update
Gold Coast is set to monitor the health of a number of players with several undergoing end-of-season surgery.

At least six players have, or will, go under the knife in the coming weeks, in a bid to ensure they are fit to return for what promises to be a club-defining season in 2015.

As confirmed by goldcoastfc.com.au earlier this month, Jaeger O’Meara will fly to Europe to meet with one of the world’s leading specialists and repair the patella tendon in both knees.

While the code’s recently crowed Best Young Player, as voted by at the AFL Coaches Association, is expected to be unavailable for the start of pre-season, head physiotherapist Adam Russell said O’Meara would be cleared to commence his rehab post-surgery.

“Jaeger has been booked in for early November, and will get both knees operated on before coming back to Australia,” Russell said.

“Pleasingly, we envisage he will be able to get straight back into rehab and commence his strength program not long after the operation.”

In further good news, Zac Smith is expected to be available for the start of pre-season training, with the Gold Coast ruckman making strong inroads following a right medial ankle injury.

While many of his teammates have holidayed overseas or returned to their respective home states, Smith has been a regular visitor to the club’s training facilities, with Russell pleased with the gentle giant’s rapid progress.

Meanwhile, Brandon Matera has undergone surgery on his troublesome groin, after an ongoing adductor issue failed to respond to treatment over the regular season.

“Brandon underwent an adductor tenotomy last Thursday, and is progressing well,” Russell said.

“He won’t commence running until closer to our return to pre-season training, but we’re confident he will return fit and ready.”

Luke Russell and Timmy Sumner both underwent successful hip surgery, with the former to begin a graduated-running program in the coming weeks.

A long-term approach will be taken with Aaron Hall, as the Gold Coast speedster recovers from groin surgery.

I very much doubt that. I guess we'll see on first day of preseason.

Gary did have a bicep issue he was carrying through most of the season. It was corrected at the same time as his shoulder reco as something minor.

So if what Tony is saying is true, the worlds leading surgeon in this area botched a minor op considerably, or Gary tore 30 percent of his bicep off the bone since the brownlow medal awards just 3 days ago. When he can barely move that arm to even do anything with it.

So yeah, not really buying it. Tony isn't exactly known for his track record either. For now I'll stick with what Gaz says, in that he believes he's on track for day 1 of pre season.
 
who even is that tony sheahan guy? i see all these bogus posts and rumours, which have clearly just been started to cause s**t. reminds me of that naitawhoey posted a while back who just posted total campaignerery

His bicep was corrected with the shoulder. He's still on track for preseason day 1.

What's with people writing this guy off? If he's not retiring he's even more injured.

Please. Sick of these bogus rumours.

That sounds right, its not like he would have tore it recently, can still barely lift his elbow above his shoulder

Tony may end up being very wrong but as far as track records go his nomally pretty good with him making early calls on Roos to melb, Franklin to syd & Beams back to qld. But that said I hope his wrong on this one.

I interpreted it a little differently in that perhaps Gaz may have hyperextended his elbow during therapy or exercise and due to his degraded muscle, injured the tendon - not because of the surgeon. But yes, I agree - it's very unlikely.
EDIT: Slightly misread what you wrote, but you get what I mean :p

Didn't that Tony fellow report that Gaz was retiring if the Suns don't win a premiership next year, or was that someone else?

Damo reporting on Trade Radio that Gary Ablett's shoulder surgery was much more complex than has previously been let on. Believes there were six "anchor points" when four is considered to be many and that he also suffered a torn bicep. Says the shoulder was very structurally unsound and he remains a long way off being able to train.

From another thread - thought I'd post it here too.
