Tom Browne reporting that Ryder could be returning to Melbourne later this week.

If he’s “reporting” it I’d say he’s still three weeks away from returning - Marshall hopefully in this week

 

[One 2 Roo]

Any one have an update on Hanners?

2 weeks.

Tom Browne reporting that Ryder could be returning to Melbourne later this week.

He’s more likely to play R4 if that’s the case, i’d assume he’s been working on his fitness and everything else on his leave. I won’t even be surprised if he’s playing this week.

 

[Kilroy]

Rather than a morbid analysis of Gresh's prospects of returning this year, let's just say there'll be no more "snapping ankles" for the foreseeable future (hopefully).

And let's just have a beer at The Gresham Bar and wish the little champion well in his rehab.

Any one have an update on Hanners?

Yeah , broken down again

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Yeah , broken down again

Again or still?

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Again or still?

Anyone notice that the club don’t really put much out when Hanners is injured? Or have I just missed the posts

 

[CaptainRisky]

Again or still?

Just still

I rarely contemplate that he is still on our list. He’s the invisible man taking up 800k of the salary cap. The club does well to hide him from the public eye.

Yep, bury their shame.

Will Jimmy Webster be returning this week?

Disastrous recruiting decision and Hill is starting to look like one too - happy to give him a bit more time though before calling it.

Will Jimmy Webster be returning this week?

Pretty certain I'd say. Had a "mild" concussion.

Gresh gets his operation today.

I don’t want to jinx anything to do with Gresham, but I do need to ask this question.
Is his injury the same as suffered by Hugh Goddard?

I thought Hugh Goddard broke his leg?

yep - Achilles. Likely to have a greater impact on career than an ACL. Largest tendon in the body so slowest to heal - hardest to get full recovery.

I know from personal experience.

Not what I wanted to hear.
Thanks for the heads up.

Any updates on RoMA?

Roughy and Zac Williams both returned successfully from achilles as recent examples of players coming back from it fine.

I think it's confidence that holds you back, I had teammates with snapped achilles and they didn't trust them for a few years afterwards. They are a pretty traumatic injury, they roll up like a blind and snap like a rubber band.

Hopefully having some like Roughhead around who has recovered from it can help him a bit. Even just from that mental side of it, as you say.

 

[triggering bro]

I have two mates who recently snapped their Achilles (last 2 years). They said the injury wasn’t painful at all. But the post surgery & rehab was shithouse. But they are active & seem to have recovered without any major issues.
