was also sent for scans late last week, with the 26-year-old managing an Achilles injury during pre-season.

“Jake presented with some soreness in his Achilles area last week, which is something our high performance team have been managing diligently this pre-season,” Mahoney said.

“He will continue to build his loads from next week onwards and we’re confident he will integrate back into full training over the coming weeks.”

Was in a moon boot at training today apparently

Not difficult - he’ll be absolutely fine unless he gets injured. Same as most players, he’s just one of those more prone to putting on weight. It’s all set up in preseason and he’s obviously got fit this year.

He obviously wasn’t in a great headspace when he got to Essendon and was battling back from there.

I found the jinx

Surely McGrath is on that list

He’s made of industrial strength rubber

extremely low risk of any injury

He’s made of Boron carbide and standard concrete

a low risk of any injury

 

[VelvetSledge]

Being in a moonboot this close to the season starting is concerning.

We won’t see peak Stringer until at least mid-season at this rate

If we can only have peak Stringer for half a season, the second half would be preferable.

Gearing up for a big 13th place finish, yew

 

[VelvetSledge]

Looks fit and strong. Definitely dropped a few kgs

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Was absolutely flying this pre season until the Achilles went. Hopefully back on the track soon!

 

[Beerfish]

I'm taking the lack of moon boot in the photo as a positive.

had a bit of an interruption to his pre-season early on, but the last three to four weeks we’ve turned a corner and been able to get some really good loads into him. He’s pulled up really well, so we’re expecting him to continue to build his loads,” Murphy said.

“We want him to come back at 90 - 100 per cent fitness, so we’ve set him up to have success for the whole season. We’ll see him play game time over the next couple of weeks.”

The Bombers are set to regain a couple of forwards in the coming weeks.

Has kicked a couple so far today. One easy out the back receive and a run down tackle free kick. Has also done some center bounce work.

 

[ant555]

Two and a half quarters. Looked much more mobile than he has in the last couple of seasons.

Done for the day?

 

[ant555]

Done for the day?

Yep. Did 30 minutes running after he went off.

 

[Maxabillions]

Glad we are letting him get properly fit before we play him

 

[blitzer]

Totally approve getting him right to play 18-20 good home and away games rather than rushing him in underdone only for him to struggle through for 4 weeks til he gets injured.

 

[eth-dog]

Hopefully a full praccy next week and then back in round 3.
