4 weeks gone now, what are the chances he will be back for the crucial round 20 V Suns?
Said depends how the team is traveling, it finals are gone he will probably park it. SO, questionable I think.
After the win:

BOMBERS FLY OFF INTO THE SUNSET

Jobe's running at training now, though, right? Heard that somewhere...
Yep, Tuesday was his first session back.

Shouldn't play this year but may do if finals are thereabouts essentially.
I'd be happier for him to sit out the year regardless.

As long as finals are possible, I'd want him to do everything to be a chance for a return - in H & A or finals. That said, not cut corners on rehab or rush back, but do all the little things to get it right.

Jobe Watson will do everything and more for a chance to return, whether we are on top of the ladder or on the bottom, that goes without saying.
My comment was that regardless of how hard he hits his rehab, it will be a rush back if he plays.

Rd 21 v West Coast (H) Rd 19 v Richmond
Rd 22 v Gold Coast (H) Rd 20 v Geelong (SS)
Rd 23 v Carlton Finals???


With the VFL side's recent run of form, finals are definitely on the table, and it may come down to those two final league matches, so VFL might be hot in the kitchen for a Jobe comeback..
