Sammy appears to be aiming for a Syd Barker by taking the Robbie Tarrant injury route, but seriously, that is s**t luck for him, and us, hope his surgery is successful, and he returns to training with no more hassles, deserves a decent crack at it.

 

[The Nostradamus]

This surgery better fix it all. Will go apeshit if it requires more surgery after this.

Has been going on too long

Not much you can do about ankle ligaments.

It's not ligaments

 

[Mav]

Hopefully it's just a scope

he's broken a bit of bone off so needs it taken out.

Sam Wright has undergone minor surgery on his ankle.

North GM of Football Cameron Joyce said the 26-year-old’s right ankle had been causing him some concerns in the pre-season, the opposite ankle to which was operated on mid-year.

“Sam’s pre-season will obviously be impacted which is certainly not ideal, however, we’re really confident he’ll be available to play and have an impact in the early stages of our 2017 season,” Joyce told NMFC.com.au.

“The surgery was minor and we hope to see him back to full training in about two months all going to plan.”

Wright played eight games in 2016, before injuring his left ankle against Richmond in Round 11.

It's the other (R) ankle from what I can glean from this article.

 

[Harris 10]

Doesn't get much right Tony.

I got a lot of time for him, but it's not the first time the club have missed a broken bone in Sam's ankle.

SS is not the doc, he is a top-notch physio, and isn't this a new injury on the other ankle?

By who?.

Around the same time you got a sense of humour.

He's the Director of Sports Science. He's the docs boss.
