[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2029
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 3, Dave

 

[Beerfish]

Low grade so 2-4 weeks basically.

Love the optimism but has a quad ever been 2 weeks?

Lucky lucky! Maybe R1 ready. Maybe only misses a couple of rounds.

The pull quote below this is pretty sobering though.

Sold!

He’s reinjured the one he tore last year so I’d imagine it will be longer than a standard one

 

[Beerfish]

I want a refund

s**t, that’s coming from an expert too

I said 2-4 weeks.

AFL player=two weeks.

Essendon player = 4 weeks.

Last year's injury was high-grade.



If it was worse than standard or re-done, it would not have been deemed as low-grade from the outset. That's a positive sign at the moment.

Not to be messed with.

At least it was in a (kinda) match as opposed to fat side HFF, professional width keeper and noted influencer David Zaharakis

It’s the same muscle so it reinjured it, doesn’t matter what grade of strain. They won’t be rushing him back, they’ll be very cautious

 

[Blind Turn]

You’d add 2 weeks to the Essendon-extended 4 weeks due to the need to be conservative with his kicking leg. I’m expecting 6 weeks and will be pleasantly surprised if it’s anything less.

Season might be over already by then

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

You'd think minimum of 4 weeks.

You'd think minimum of 4 weeks.

4 to 6. We have been pretty cautious in recent times.

Ridley saying 3-4 weeks

It does matter what grade it is as that is what the return to play (RTP) process starts from. The fact that it was assessed as low grade from the outset was a positive sign.

And now we know why it was graded as such, while it was the same side, it was a different spot. Hence a better RTP outlook was given as a result.

so it is 6

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

He said last night on the news he may miss only 1-2 games

 

[ghostdog]

Please be back for Sydney. Please be back for Sydney.

He said last night on the news he may miss only 1-2 games

I think the 3-4 weeks and 1-2 games headlines are from same interview.
Round 1 is 2 weeks after the praccy game so 3 weeks/1 game is same amount of time I guess.

 

[FlyingV]

Give 5-6 weeks of it means really setting him up for success
