Whoops. Didn't change it from the template.

Looks like that stress fracture in his foot that he re-fractured in December has him still in a moon boot (that we weren't told about until now..) Could start rebuilding strength after he sees the surgeon and gets the boot off tomorrow.

Noah sees the orthopaedic surgeon tomorrow for a review of his foot. He is expected to be fully weight bearing, coming out of the boot and working hard at his strength from then on.

Injury update: Stars on track for return

A number of important Bombers are on track to hit the ground running in the 2020 season.

I suspect if the list sizes are reduced he'll be an unlucky one. Shame, he showed a bit last year.

From yesterday's injury update:

In further good news, Noah Gown is making his recovery from a fractured foot and has resumed running, but Rundle said the club would continue to take a conservative approach with his rehab.

“Noah Gown sustained a fractured fifth metatarsal early in the pre-season. He’s been up and running over the past four weeks and is looking really good,” Rundle said.

“He had a surgical review last week which cleared him to ramp things up, but given the long period of time he’s had away from running, we expect a reasonably conservative approach managing him back into the program."

 

[Lore]

Did something to his lower back, one week setback on return to main training from foot injury.

Meanwhile, Noah Gown has reintegrated into main training after overcoming a foot injury, but experienced a minor setback last week.

“Noah has been tracking really well and integrating back into main skills sessions, although last week he had a problem with his lower back which kept him out of action for the week," Rundle said.

"We expect him to integrate into the group this week. He’s feeling better from his back point of view.”

2 weeks of full training, then he can join in practice matches

“Noah Gown has been progressing well and has been training fully with the main group. He too will require another two weeks of full training before we consider him for practice matches.”

Sure enough, back in the practice matches last weekend.

Noah Gown
"It was Gowny’s first game back. He competed well in the air and at ground level. He launched at the ball and made contests and was a very good leader, using his voice very well in the setups. It was a good return to play for him."

Player review: Scratch match v Collingwood

All 12 players are assessed from Saturday's scratch match against Collingwood at the MCG.

Perhaps he could come in for Stringer... been out for ages though. Not as long as Stewart, but still ages.

I didn’t recognise him when I saw 32 running around in the praccy video. Looks in very good nick

End of 2019 review of 2018 recruits:

Pick 60 – Noah Gown
Needing to bolster the club’s key forward stocks, the Bombers swept up powerful Gippsland goalkicker Noah Gown at pick No. 60 off the back of an impressive NAB League season.

Also an up-and-coming basketballer, Gown had turned down a US-based scholarship to pursue his footballing dreams and it paid off after he booted 31 goals in the under-18 competition to secure his AFL chance.

The strong-marking youngster isn’t afraid to throw his body around and settled nicely into the system in a promising first season at The Hangar.

Gown was also held back to just 12 VFL games due to injury, but when on the field he displayed his talent with 17 goals and four mentions among the side’s best players.

With great scope for further improvement, Gown will make his presence felt again in 2020 as he searches for his first senior opportunity.

Obviously had a couple of issues with his foot that had him on the sidelines through the end of last year until recently, so missed pre-season and would've missed a bunch of games this year if any had been played.

We have some bits from the scratch matches:

Noah Gown
"His timing was a little bit off against Collingwood but he got better at it against North. He tried to mark the ball at its highest point when there was a long ball coming in, and during faster attacks, he presented very well. He worked well with the other forwards and sets us up."

A 194cm 'key forward' according to the club website, 17 goals from 12 VFL games in 2019 and obviously takes a decent mark.

Is there anyone who watched the VFL last year that would have some first-hand insight? What's his tank like? Does he go missing? What are the knocks on him?

Could we see a debut at some point this year, sooner rather than later?

 

[Old Campaigner]

Might as well get him, Crauford and either Jones or Bryan in the forward line if he's fit imo

They'll get mauled but they'll develop a lot quicker than if they spend the rest of the season doing circle work in the scratch matches.

Stewart and McKernan aren't going to be part of a finals side, better to bring in some player who might be eventually.

That makes too much sense, not sure our selection committee has any.

I'm not sure either...

As far as I'm concerned clubs should be either going for a flag, or rebuilding and getting games into the kids. We seem to be doing neither of those.

IMO the way forward is to identify all the leaders, mentors and on-field coaches, and the kids with the biggest upside and base team selection around that. Everyone else gets the arse.

Play him this week please.

Didn’t pull up unscathed from the scratch match so I doubt he gets his chance now

Damn it.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

Damn it.

did an ankle didnt he?

 

[Drummer_19]

Wouldn't even know what he looks like, but that goes for most of our draftees over the last couple of years. Don't really see them much.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

did an ankle didnt he? Wasnt syndesmosis was it?

 

[eth-dog]

did an ankle didnt he?

Apparently but no mention in the injury report for whatever reason.

Yeah funny that, Leigh tudors report said he had hurt his foot region, maybe still waiting on results. Or hopefully just a rolled ankle.

Did players do Syndesmosis in the 80's and 90's and just keep playing?
