i got it when i was 9 and was in bed for 6 months.

Soft.

I got it a few months ago, took a panadol, rested the night and then went back to work, which mind you i walk 1,000 miles too.

Tuff on any kid trying to establish themselves as good players. Will Probably not play seniors next year. Ah well one players misery is another players opportunity.

IF he shows enough, and that is a big IF. Hopefully a rookie like Callum Moore could be given a few games as a marking HF in a similar vein to Lennon.Pigs may fly as well.
At 192cm he is slightly taller, takes just as good a mark and is quicker and more agile than Lennon. I say never say never.

Ben Lennon has just about zero chance of playing in 2016 if he is hit with a severe dose of GF, and probably will be looking to 2017 realistically after missing out on a full pre season campaign.

He'll be fine, reports are that it's a minor case. I was back at it after a fortnight when I got it at 19.

It's not ideal but if he is well rested he could be over it by early Jan and then get stuck back into preseason.

It is the right time of year to have it. Get it at the start of winter and you're in for a bad year.

its psycho

first time i had it, i was death warmed up for a day, but then drinking tequila 24/7 for the next week

next time i had it*, worked for 3 months with it and only took time off once it trigger CFS

*you can get it more than once if your immune system has the defensive mindset of Greg Tivendale

[RichoLedio]

i wish ricky petterd's mum had bigger glands

 

[Bojangles17]

No two cases are ever the. Same , medicos would say it could come and go or linger for an indefinite period, u never can tell
Just hoping for the former

 

[jumpinjimmy]

i got it when i was 9 and was in bed for 6 months.

Likewise....but as others have mentioned it varies wildly in each individual case. We have several half-forward types in reserve so it wont hurt us IMO.

 

[TigersMan4]

I had it for a month and the only symptom I had was an annoying sore throat
didn't miss a day of anything

It's not always a big thing
