I thought the same thing! Nice to see Damian (Redacted) back on our screens. He has such a calming presence when delivering terrible news.

Wow Millsy. Might be a finals smoky at this rate. The next Mitch Morton

injured himself during rehab. The Sam Reidiest thing you could do.

I hope he manages to play at least a couple of A-grade games this year.

LukeParkerno1 might just get his wish for a MSD pick

Mills suffers fresh injury setback, luckless tall hurt again

Callum Mills' return from injury is delayed after suffering another injury

www.afl.com.au

 

[Adnico26Parker]

afl.com.au revised injury summary:

PLAYER	INJURY	ESTIMATED RETURN
Harry Arnold	Back	6-7 weeks
Indhi Kirk	Concussion	1 week
Callum Mills	Shoulder/calf	10 weeks
Sam Reid	Quad/foot	TBC
Corey Warner	Ankle	3 weeks

.

Honestly, if Mills calf sets him back 10 weeks, it's not a "low grade" calf strain

Has to be absolutely perfect between late rounds otherwise he could struggle

Nah, in the video they say the calf injury means it delays the start of contact training on his shoulder. So the 7-8wk return becomes 10

But why was it still 7-8 weeks when we are 7 weeks in to the season? It went from mid season to late-mid season to now basically the last month before finals. If we’re lucky.

Thankfully we are traveling fine without him but he’d be a really nice addition to a team going in to a finals campaign as one of the flag favourites.

Put a line through Mills’ season.

 

[Tedeski]

Yep!
If we make finals without him, then an underdone player without the benefit of a season full of match fitness will add nothing we haven’t already had.
Maybe win the flag without him.
Best lesson yet for regular post season stupidity from our Captain.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Surely Reid hangs the boots up.

Love Sam but actually, I hope he doesn’t.
Our fortunes are linked to the 3 young amigos upfront and if Sam replaces one of them, it means they are out of form or injurred. Neither situation is good for our flag opportunity.

Typical swans injury management smoke and shadows behind the windows.

The whole club in general takes the corporate approach to saying a lot without saying much at all way too seriously. They'd make a great team to spearhead the next pandemic.

The previous timeline would’ve had him back first or second game after the bye.

New timeline would have him back at the start of July, which is the last 2 months of the season

I’d say that’s very optimistic but I certainly hope you’re right. We are traveling well but he could really raise that level even higher and we are sure to cop more injuries.

Look I don’t really expect him to be back playing senior footy as soon as he is ‘available’, I’m just saying the stated timelines have been relatively consistent

After almost 12 months of no footy, I certainly hope they give him a couple of games in the ressies to get some touch. We're going well and hopefully still are by the time he's ready and I don't want to drop a form player for someone who hasn't played in 12 months even if they are the captain.

Five of the 44 listed players not available for tomorrow's games. Mills, Reid, Warner Jr, Arnold and Kirk.

 

[Callipygian]

Shout out to our club physios, performance staff and trainers and doctors. Currently our list is in overall rude good health. To just have two players out with long term injury and potentially every other player available for selection next game is simply outstanding. No doubt there is some luck but they've clearly done a lot right. Recruiting Rob Inness and Damien Raper a few years back seems to have worked out really well. Props.

Mills has been doing stuff on the bench. At the SCG v Gold Coast his arm was in a sling. Yesterday I noticed he didn’t have it.
So I suppose that’s some progress.
