Since when did you need surgery on a sprain?

Since Jason Horne was pick 1.

Sprain is an umbrella term. It depends on what was ruptured in his ankle. Sprain can be a grade one or a grade 3 rupture.

Since Jason Horne was pick 1.

You don't really think they mothballed a kid just finding continuity, right?

H/S doing a great job as usual. Reporting/has an article, that Aiden Bonar was subbed out with a corkie last week. Must be the worlds worst corkie if it’s keeping him out for up to 12 weeks.

Reading the last few pages of this thread and was very depressing due to our injury toll.

told North Media.

“He’s missed quite a number of weeks so we’ll clearly have to progress him through the VFL.

“The discussion surrounding how many minutes he plays will no doubt occur next week.”

[Horizons_00]

He shown some fantastic signs before he got injured

We have a player her but he needs to get his body right

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Good return by the sounds of it:

 

[Liam Boy]

Should come straight back in for Atley

 

[The Nostradamus]

Should come straight back in for Atley

hope so!

 

[giantroo]

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Excellent news. Two years is a real show of faith which should buoy him.

 

[giantroo]

 

[Sphynx]

Was a beast until injury. Probably the most improved early doors under Noble until this second half of the season resurgence.

Big part of the future.

 

[Merlin007]

agreed, big vote of confidence for a boy with his injury history; good luck to him

 

[justroyal]

If Hayden and Perez get extensions, alarm bells would have to be going off for Atley.

Interestingly. What are the position differences between young and bonars positions?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Is Atley's replacement.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Was showing some real positive signs before injury. He had improved quite noticeably .
Great signing

fair point; barring the night with de Goey, Bonar's performances were going the right way when the team was under water

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

If Hayden and Perez get extensions, alarm bells would have to be going off for Atley.

Interestingly. What are the position differences between young and bonars positions?

Definitely think Bonar is more of a genuine strong lockdown player that occasionally rebounds, whilst Young seems more of an oversized HB flanker to me.

 

[Devington]

Interesting that we've locked Bon in before Ats.

Probably reading too much into it, but you never know.

 

[Sphynx]

If Hayden and Perez get extensions, alarm bells would have to be going off for Atley.

Interestingly. What are the position differences between young and bonars positions?

Bonar is a genuine lockdown medium defender that can also play on the fast medium forwards and big enough to switch out on the KPP's during game situations.

Young is a rebounding defender that is decent in the air and can intercept.


I don't think Young has anywhere near the defensive potential of Bonar, who can play on anyone from small forwards to KPP types.

Bonar is an athletic freak. He's basically building to be a Spud Firrito, with pace.
