Terrible news. Better to see to his health for the long term now though. So slow and steady.

18 weeks for a "small clean up" sigh, still back in heaps of time for our finals campaign

 

[CarloLion]

18-20 weeks so says Burton. Sounds like it could have been a really serious long term issue had they not dealt with it now. Wow, 4 months doesnt seem so bad any more

 

[Sauras]

Burton back with his usual 3-4 week routine...

 

[Toffee Lion]

Jeez, can't just have an injury free year can we.

Horrible luck

 

[Back2Back2Back]

Poop.

 

[James North]

Claye Beams in for half the season, as bato mentioned?

Seems to be at his peak - hopefully this is his year.

 

[Crawb]

Oh dear.

 

[Skoob]

Adamantium. Duh.

 

[Kappa]

Shame that he probably won't get fitness back till end of the season

Great Irish success story though

Just in times for finals.

Sorry to hear Brions. Quality player and seems a quality bloke. Hopefully a fit Rich, Luenberger & Staker, and gelling of the midfield can see u blokes improve this year.

Hard to believe these are both the same guy...

With regards to Hanley coming back after the bye (fingers crossed) - our first ten games before our bye are OK with only 2 games in the unlikely win category (North away, Port home). Going into the Bye round 5 - 5 is very possible

Should've posted the big one!

Best of luck to him. I'm sure he'll come back stronger. Injuries are inevitable which is why we need, and have, the strongest and deepest mid-field possible.

 

[iBeng]

This length would put him on the LTI list as well, right? Leppa might promote a Rookie straight up for a few early season games.

A pre season hip injury putting a player out for 18 weeks is fairly odd yeah?

Hope he has a speedy recovery.

Cartledge was completely detatched I believe, they've had to drill the bone and glue the cartledge back on, both sides as well.

Will be on the grav walker in 10-12 weeks, as well as pool work, back to field work 15-17 weeks and then game fitness pending back in the mix 18-20.

That sounds awful.

Was it something long term they have been managing or out of the blue?

I have no doubt that Hanley is up to the task and will have himself back on the park asap.

Out of the blue they said...Had been training the house down before christmas break, got back from Ireland and first few training sessions had a bit of soreness in his hips. They went for scans, decide for surgery, found it was significantly worse than first thought. No way they could have managed him through a whole season and not done permenant damage really.

 

[Crimso]

Back from Ireland?!
It's them fricken pertaties!!

 

[Fatcat08]

Pretty sure Hanley didn't go back to Ireland this Christmas
