Can't see Abby letting him take the kids up there for a couple of months.

Someone said on the previous page that he is taking his gf and new baby, but he 'cried for 45 minutes' saying goodbye to his older two at the airport.

 

[CBombers17]

Cheer up and have another baby big fella!!

Apparently will start to run later this week Rundle has said. Now listed as only 3-4 weeks away, great news.

 

[ghostdog]

McKernan, Stewart, Stringer already feels hopeful.

 

[Lore]

He was supposed to be running by now but ankle isn't quite strong enough yet, should be soon.

“Jake has joined us in the hub now and he’s progressing well," Rundle said.

"It’s been four weeks since his syndesmosis injury. His ankle range is excellent, and his strength is good but it’s not quite at the level of where we would like it to be before we start running him, but they should not be too far off.

Building up running loads following surgery.

Pleasingly, star forward Jake Stringer is building his running loads following ankle surgery.

“Jake is now five weeks since his ankle syndesmosis stabilisation surgery. He is progressing really well, and his foot and ankle strength has come a long way over the past week and he’s now up and running. How quickly he comes up will be determined by how well he responds to the increased running loads and we’ll continue to monitor that.”

Won't be fit for St. Kilda or Richmond

 

[revival_mode]

need the boy back asap

 

[JayJ20]

We miss this guy a lot. If he was in we'd win the last two games.

We'd be flogged. If there's anything easier than running off Jake Stringer it's running off Jake Stringer with a dodgy syndesmosis. Unless it's your syndesmosis I suppose.

Maybe back this week according to the injury report.

Test for Saturday against the Tigers.

Essendon could regain Jake Stringer for its Dreamtime in Darwin match against Richmond on Saturday night.

The star forward has been sidelined since suffering a syndesmosis injury in the Bombers' win over Collingwood in round five.

That wait could end this weekend, with Thursday's main session to determine the 26-year-old's availability.

"Jake's making really good progress. He had a solid hitout on the weekend, running and football skills," head of medical services David Rundle said.

"He'll integrate with the main group this week. We'll monitor him closely during main skills, see how we moves and how he pulls up before making any decision on his availability to play (on Saturday night)."

Has all this info about recovery time frames and surgery and stuff. But the most interesting thing is this:

There is a feeling around the industry that the new holding the ball adjudication, which often sees “stacks on”, and the technique of dragging opponents back when tackling to avoid ‘in the back’ calls could be contributing to the rise in syndesmosis injuries.

 

[CBombers17]

Great to have him back in. Seems like a quick recovery. Hopefully he has a big game.

Wait. Has he been named?

 

[CBombers17]

Thought the club said he was back in this week somewhere

 

[Ambrosia]

I think we need to ride this guy harder. He isn’t close to having an AFL standard of fitness and never has been while he’s at the club.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

He clearly wasn't at a point where he could play. Reckon he was put in as fodder, which was worked out pretty quickly.

He was actually looking great in pre-season and RD 1, but definitely put on a few kegs during the COVID break.

 

[CBombers17]

Was well short of a run but showed his mindset to do the team things. He also won't take s**t, stands up for others and can hit an aggressive pass.

 

[eth-dog]

Yes, he had a bad game but the important part was that he took a good defender away in Vlaustin and as such he didn't really try to intercept
