If true it will be more than a few weeks. Takes a while to heal and is very painful.

Presti's fitness is becoming a liability. Always seems to miss chunks of seasons through 4 to 6 week injuries.
Wakelin would clearly be the one to replace him.

I'd imagine that Wakelin will walk straight into full back.
Check your facts.
He hasnt missed large blocks of the season for many years. His fitness in recent seasons has been the best its ever been.

I remember he broke his collarbone or something along those lines last year or the year before.
I got a feeling Jimmy will pick up Fev and Wakes will come in and pick up Lance.

Or Mick could be feeling risky and put Harry on Fev and Maxwell on Lance.

The word is Clement may also miss this week with a calf strain. If that is so there will be a big hole in the magpies defence.
If that is the case desperately need Wakes back for some experience.

So from those four seasons he has missed 26 out of 91 matches through injury. I've misinterpreted the big blocks of injuries for last year, but constantly missing single games isn't helping our structure either.
Depends which way you look at it. Hes played 86% of games in the past 2 and 1/4 seasons. Thats not bad and makes a couple of bad seasons in 03 and 04 irrelevant.
At his age we should be (and are) developing players to replace players like Presti and Clement. So I'm confident that we have the replacements in the short term (Wakelin,), medium term (Maxwell, O'Brien, Cox) and long term (Brown, Reid, Anthony).

Floreat Pica, Bitch!
Heard that one too, I wonder if Bucks is just being cagey...
I think Moneybags should come in his shown huge promise from what I've heard. Our depth will be tested this week with Jimmy and Presti falling down with injuries.
