we're just going to have to dig deep and push through without them. if we are a serious side we will find a way as all great teams have had to do before. hopefully we can get ourselves into a good enough position to get them back a few weeks before finals.

 

[PAFC66]

In hearing talk Butters could be out for longer than Duursma? Surely not?

 

[Port85]

Stoppages can be covered by a decent increase to Rozee's midfield minutes plus as much as Robbie Gray

can handle.

I don't think anyone can replace his creativity in general play - maybe Houston with the kicking component and Gray with the quick hands.

But its going to suck.

Part 2

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Just listened to the lad. He reckons 4 weeks he could be back. I imagine the Doctors will think otherwise. I would suspect hes not back til after the bye.

 

[Tibbs]

The big problem is the surgeon is going to have to actually have to hold him still for a minute to get him under anaesthetic ... Good luck!

 

[melanChronic]

Part 2

Definitely prefer them taking the surgery option. Remember a couple of years ago after the waterskiing fiasco the club decided to go the "she'll be right" option on Wines's shoulder and he was a lame duck all year. Much better to take the medicine now and come back fully firing.

He'll just bite down on a stick instead

 

[Izzy01]

Thank God Sutcliffe can’t be selected

Maybe we will grab him if there’s a mid season draft

 

[Doctor Feel]

If anyone would get him right in 5, it would be the combination of Butters and Dr. Hutchinson. He's brutal on the rehab front. He'll be straight out of that moonboot and walking around even if it's causing huge pain to Zak to walk unassisted. He basically gives 24 hours of rest, then it's straight into moving it and doing basic mobilization exercises. He'll be taking a few steps on it a day after the surgery. He wont allow it to be immobilized for longer than that because it just hurts long term mobility.

 

[Visenfest]

Butters will probably want the surgery done without anaesthetic lol.

 

[jac147]

What about Rozee? If he had any more strapping, he'd be in Egypt.

Ivan Eckermann would have said, “Connor, that’s not a bandage this is a bandage”!

 

[PAFC66]

Sort of good news in the end then.

 

[Dalfino]

They will have finished the surgery and Butters will be asking if they've started yet. Nothing phases this kid, nothing will stop him getting back as soon as possible.

 

[Izzy01]

Curious when Bonner is available, he would be a handy replacement for Duursma.

Well Rockliff is there, he can run all day, slowly but all day....

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Zak's segment on SEN, will stick it here as its mainly injury talk.

ZAK BUTTERS ON KYMBO & THE ROOCH (12.04.21)

Port young-gun Zak Butters joined the boys just prior to having surgery on his ankle.

Isn't really a like for like for butters and Xavier though.

I can't see him coming in untill drews form drops off.

 

[PAFC66]

He's had plenty of shoulder ops and come back ahead of time. Fingers crossed
