J-Stew to ruck ... he's added a few kegs of muscle and is prob. better around the ground

 

[schmuttt]

Actually saw him on Sunday and he wasn’t moving like he’d hurt himself at all, so perhaps just precautionary.

James Stewart is worse in the ruck than Gach Nyuon

 

[yaco55]

Think it's a minor setback, though he'll be behind Phillips for the beginning of the season - Possession is nine-tenths of the law.

Is he even alive?

 

[MiguelM]

Belly doesn't like running anyway, might do hi good for a couple of weeks off

 

[Howard Moon]

No running for a fortnight?

Don't think he's ran for 5 years tbh

 

[Bombers36]

I am confused by the thread title;- '# 2: Tom Bellchambers - Minor knee surgery - No running for a fortnight - 10/2'.... I didn't know Tom could actually run..

ughh wot?

 

[Milanista28]

If this doesn't give Phillips a kick up the bum not much will, He should be pretty excited to grab this opportunity.

Coaches will given him and our best available mids plenty of minutes together in the upcoming practice games.

 

[Lore]

Knee pain since Christmas apparently, finally became too much hence the surgery.

“Tom’s had anterior knee pain since Christmas. It was troubling him to the point where he felt it was affecting his performance, so we sought an orthopaedic consult and the recommendation was an arthroscopy.

“They performed a very minor procedure last Thursday. He’s come through that really well and he should be up and running within the next week or so.

Injury update: Stars on track for return

A number of important Bombers are on track to hit the ground running in the 2020 season.

Can't make him earn it through the VFL, but I'd almost play Phillips and make TBC train the house down before selecting him.

 

[blitzer]

I think Phillips is ahead of him right now but I'd be OK with selecting 2 rucks. We have a shortage of talls available anyway and really McKernan is our only legitimate tall forward option so rather than using him part up forward and part in the ruck we might as well just leave him in the forward line and have a second ruck. Not to mention Dockers are missing some of their best tall defenders so they may find it more difficult to matchup on ruck sized players in the forward line than they normally would.

 

[eth-dog]

The thing is that their tallest defender is 195 cm, who hasn't played key defence at AFL level before, a 193 cm 3rd tall who can do a job in a pinch, and either a 190 cm debutant or another 193 cm third tall.

Fact is one of Logue or Duman/Watson will have to play on either McKernan or Bellchambers, giving between 3 to 12 cm away and between 7 and 25 kg's (Although Logue is 1 kg heavier than Smack, the other two are 17 kg's lighter than him).
