This post was lifted out of the FA thread. Great shame to have it buried in there, and it is worthy of kicking off the injury thread for the new season.

If somebody can post tumble weeds in this thread every week or so, then that would be grand :)

The Pies were burdened by a long casualty list for much of the 2016 season but, barring further setbacks, should be in reasonable shape by round one. Jamie Elliott missed the entire season with a complex pars defect in his lower spine but is expected to be back in full training around Christmas. Ben Reid had surgery to repair the posterior cruciate ligament in a knee – an injury he carried from round four until round 20 – and should complete a significant chunk of the pre-season. Alex Fasolo and Tim Broomhead, both of whom underwent shoulder operations, will likely be held back until the new year. Taylor Adams finished the season with an ankle injury and was treated for a hip complaint, while Tyson Goldsack and James Aish underwent hip surgery, with all three tipped to do plenty of work pre-Christmas. The same goes for Tom Langdon, whose knee went under the knife. Unlucky Matt Scharenberg, following his second knee reconstruction, possibly could have played late in the 2016 season but the Pies decided to give him a full pre-season before he makes an on-field return. He is ahead of fellow knee victim Jackson Ramsay, who went down in April and later travelled to America with a rehabilitation specialist Chris Howley. Ben Sinclair will also be hoping to find peace of mind after this year suffering four bouts of concussion. - Ben Collins

Rule them out for round one: None

I will be particularly interested in the update just after Christmas to hear how many of those to train "by Christmas " actually made training and are still on track for round one. Jamie Elliott not the least!
 
No chance.
l would rather believe with some hope than none at all.
chances are slim that all will be ready, but l will take the hope part thanks
 
I am hopeful that the AFL might let Gubby do the Blackmores update to keep his eye in while suspended.
Gubby's suspension will be medium term :)
 
Cox is one not mentioned he had hip and shoulder surgery around the same time as Aish and Goldsack. Won't be back running until the end of November.

I had hip surgery at the end of the year, pretty much the day after we were done. I can't really do a ton of running on it for another five or six weeks. So I've been doing upper body [work]. For a guy who likes to go run and clear my mind, it's a bit frustrating. It's a bit sore at times, but I've just got to rest it until it heals completely. ... I [also] had shoulder surgery last year, and that's all healed up and feeling good, so hopefully by the time the season starts I'll be 100 percent again.
