Confirming what we already know but with more detail.

Did they actually scan it or did they just bring in a gypsy who put a bunch of crystals on his leg?

I’d hope the crystals

Does everything Essendon fans cry out for, yet a handful of fans wanted him out because he turns it over once or twice a game. Insanity.

The average AFL player already has super human fitness, and Ambrose has at least x 2 that. Turns 28 at the end of the season, and barring injury, I see no reason why he can't be on an AFL for another 4 years at the very least.

So what you're saying is, if the backline adjusts without him we should try and run him through the midfield.

Not sure if anyone else picked up on it but I thought I saw Ambrose grabbing his quad in the later stages of the game VS West Coast. Anyone with footage feel free to post!

WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT?

Narrative from the club was that he was injured in the warm up prior to the GWS game, I believe he may have injured himself in the final minutes of the WCE game.

I know... I thought the same thing too but apparently he was seen on the ground warming up.

If he’d injured himself after Eagles surely they would have picked something up during following training week? May have been an unrelated knock

Back running already from the short training clip on 360 tonight.

Any news on when he will progress to foot running?

He’ll need to show he can knee run first

 

[astrowizzle]

What if he can gut run. will that suffice

 

[PressureCooker]

Ambrose is back gut running using his knees, feet and any other part of his anatomy that is remotely associated with his powerful running action.

Better?

If anyone is tough enough to gut run without using their feet it’s this guy.

Are you sure that was a recent clip? It's not unheard of for them to use old footage for their packages. Unless it said 'This morning at tulla' or whatever down the bottom I'd be wary.

Yeah that's exactly what it had. "Tullamarine this morning" or something along those lines.

Side note: Also saw Jok running around, so he's alive.

Footage from the old days is sometimes all a blur

They do usually start running relatively quickly. Won't be available until they're hitting top speed and changing direction at 100% though.

Original return was around round 19 or 20. Looks to be on target for that.

Old photo surely? That's Bellcho running in the background!

From the same article:

“Tom Bellchambers has been pretty slow to get going so far. Given we’re estimating a six-week injury, he’s not quite at the point where he could run yet.

“We’ll just be seeing his progress over the next week or two and making the best decision about how to bring him up towards the end of the season.

It could be Bellcho practicing standing on one leg?

He did a great job on brown last time we played the roos. Will be a big loss for this game.

 

[quotemokc]

You can't really see it on tv but at games he is our best defender at preventing players getting clear leads at the ball.

Would have been massive against Brown

Could have played Dylan Clarke on Brown

A chance to play!
