I expect he'll return in round 20, and wait until December for the surgery.

The cautious approach. I like it.

Looks like it will need to be declared correctly from now on.....

The AFL will crack down on clubs who do not announce a player's specific injury return timeline to the public.

The change to the league's ruling comes after sides like Geelong, Essendon and Richmond came under fire during the 2023 season for not specifying timelines for when players would likely be available for senior selection.

Is that to help the betting agencies? Soccer in Europe keep things under the hat a bit ..usually get updated in coach’s pre game presser.

Sounds like good news as could have been realistically hoped for.

I'd hope now though that as he has had two instances of that quad with 6 months they are looking into it a bit more.
Is it his kicking mechanics at all? His running or planting?
He's 25 and has had two quad injuries, same leg, close together, one being high grade.
Put the work In and see if there is something underlying. Proactive approach.

Let him get it right….bring him back in for finals.

Back for the Saints game IMO

Honestly how does Sean Murphy still have a job. The sooner he’s sacked the better

 

[mcgrath_truther]

heartbreaking news. can't catch a break

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Set to miss another month and more.

That's, uh, a disaster.

He's broken what now?

Will now have to be wrapped in cotton wool - not sure they know what they are doing with this one. Started pre season very late so it was a bad injury to begin and keeps aggravating after these shorter breaks.

Best course of treatment, don’t allow Sean Murphy to go near him

Yep, I want it on the injury report

Murphy awareness.

[Kong]

Hope he gets the help he needs.

 

[Vander18]

Disaster. Will be another 6-8 you’d think?

I rate Ridley our best player - huge loss.
