He'll be right. Prob only miss the first 2 rounds.

8 weeks means he won’t be back til around 5/6.

Nah. Won't be that long. Won't be 8 weeks. Probably more 5-6 weeks. It mentions missing the first couple rounds.

So between the two extremes round 6 or round 2 be somewhere in the middle...

Just for fun let’s see if it’s glass half full or half empty.

Yup, I prefer to look optimistically. But that's just me as a person.

can't really blame the club for not wanting to rush him into a surgical intervention unless it's absolutely necessary and unless other treatments have proven ineffective.

Annoying that he'll miss at least a couple of games, but we'll survive.

Damn this sucks. Only positive I can see is that at least it's a clear avenue for Beams to fit in the midfield without pushing someone as equally deserving in the team.

Dear Tay

You have an issue with your finger. There is a good chance that the issue will heal itself within a few weeks; however if it doesn't we will recommend surgery. So you have two choices:

a) immediate surgery - this surgery may be unnecessary and obviously there is risk associated with surgery and the potential complications are ......
b) give it to time to heal itself and if it doesn't then opt for surgery with its potential for complications.

We're recommending option b) Which option would you like to take?

Signed
The Good Doctor.


Personally, I'd take option b) every day of the week.

I’d take B every single time, then take B again just to be doubly sure.

Retail therapy after reading this news.. just purchased these.. get my attention off of it re.. for .... sake

 

[Dynamics]

Phew. I thought we were talking knee or ankle ligaments. I'll take a finger.

Now see, I can't even say "said the actress to the bishop" any more.

Thanks Pell.

Anyway, this is not great news at all. But he will be at close enough to full fitness once he comes back as he can still run etc. Just missing match fitness and touch.

Beams and Sier get plenty of time on the ball and we give JDG those game changing bursts in the middle.

 

[Robroy22]

Rupert Wills will be licking his lips at this news...NOW he has the opportunity, let's hope he's fit enough to show us what he's got.

It’s disappointing, but unless you are a surgeon and have examined his finger, you are just making ignorant assumptions

 

[jimmy35]

If it was finals he’d be playing, tough tough unit. Misses 2 games at the start of the year, so be it.

Be back Rd 1.

Won’t beat the Tigers without him sadly.

 

[joff]

Won’t beat the Tigers without him sadly.

Beams in should cover the loss of Tay no worries

 

[caloschwaby]

Won’t beat the Tigers without him sadly.

We beat them in the Prelim with Adams, no Beams.
As Joff said, Beams will essentially make the midfield game 50/50 again.

Option a) immediate surgery, and given it is your finger you won't lose fitness and would be recovered in time for the first round of the season
Option b) delay and see what happens, knowing that if it doesn't heal itself we will need the surgery, and given we have waited you will probably miss games.

Personally, I'd recommend a) every day of the week. There is no downside to getting it done (no fitness downside) yet there is downside of b if it doesn't heal itself, which is what we are seeing now.

I thought the title referred to his kicking ability....
