may also return to the Dons’ best 22 after managing a foot complaint, with the 29-year-old potentially playing his first game since round 19.

“Jake’s starting to get his power back from that foot complaint, which is really promising,” McPherson said.

“His training loads are progressing and he’s continuing to tick off the necessary metrics towards a return to play. Whether he’s progressed enough to play this week or not, we’ll have to wait and see.”

Listed as test:

GM of Performance Daniel McPherson said all players must get through main training without issue to be considered for selection.

“We’re really pleased [they] are all close to a return, and provided they have a good week, we expect they’ll be pushing to be available for selection,” McPherson said.

“Once we get through main training, we’ll be better placed to make a call on whether or not each of them is ready to go.”

He might even have a few we don't know about yet, do they count?

Had surgery on his foot before Round 24 game, should be back in training by January. Also noted as being a forward. As I recall it's a plantar fascia, which matches the description but isn't mentioned by name here.

ESSENDON is hoping Jake Stringer to be back into full training at the start of 2024 after an injury-hit end to this season.

Stringer had foot surgery ahead of the Bombers' final game, having struggled through his return the previous week in Essendon's belting at the hands of Greater Western Sydney.

The Bombers expect the forward to be in full training again at the start of the new year.

"Sometimes he felt really good at training and then other days it crept up on him really quickly. It just got to the point where we rolled the dice with him in the GWS Giants game up there and he was quite sore post that game. Once that game snuffed out our finals chances we chucked him straight in to get surgery after that game," said Dan McPherson.

Dons pair to resume full training in January after injury-hit years

Essendon's head of performance Daniel McPherson has provided an update on several players.

Interesting that they limped him through his 100th club game for no gain and then went in for surgery

 

[windyhill]

Not going to end in a good way this relationship.

'No gain'

It certainly doesn't hurt to tick off that box.

 

[BrunoV]

Set for another cracking preseason.

Doubt we'd be able to trade him now, even if someone with the power to do it was struck with a bout of common sense.

Presumably these guys aren't part of the 14-15 guys who went to Arizona?
Good they are back early though
