I get it but from around the half way point of last year he has gone from AA candidate, to out of form, to out the team……and then rocks up to preseason out of shape (which iirc he has never done before).I am only concerned at what condition he is is on March 1.
I’m very concerned about Tippa now.
Since late May this year he has looked a shadow of his former self managing just 7 goals from 9 (very in Tippa like) in the back half of the season & bugger all possessions. He’s also managed to put on at least 7+ KGs, lose his pace, seemingly lose interest/have some mental health issues, and now apparently a do a calf which will sideline him for 2 months meaning he”” virtually miss the whole pre season….
Is this the end…I pray not

I am absolutely worried about this trajectory.

Well he doesn’t need to fix that, as it’s not the issue.Unfortunately this is what depression does to people. Fix the mental issues he is having will go a long way to him having the fighting spirit to go another round
Is a long hard battle for him
Before the cardiac wards fill up with Essendon supporters... I do believe this 1 month old newsApparently injured - a calf according to reports?
I'm not sure how much Tippa we'll see.Hmmmm……not sure how much Tippa we’ll see in first half of the season.
Nothing in here from a month ago. andleanback put it in the preseason training thread and I've repeated it here since it sounded new. 4 weeks ago for a calf it would be healed now unless severe.Before the cardiac wards fill up with Essendon supporters... I do believe this 1 month old news
Haven’t heard anything anything since now. Pretty sure he started in full training when we came back after Xmas.Nothing in here from a month ago. andleanback put it in the preseason training thread and I've repeated it here since it sounded new. 4 weeks ago for a calf it would be healed now unless severe.
I definitely heard about it on Bomberblitz at least 4 weeks ago and they were saying he's still doing some jogging on it to build his fitness base.Haven’t heard anything anything since now. Pretty sure he started in full training when we came back after Xmas.
Now I'm confused. Is he injured now or was he injured a month ago? Where did you hear about it today?Haven’t heard anything anything since now. Pretty sure he started in full training when we came back after Xmas.

Yes but as Cleary said he hasn't tried with the main group for 2 weeks which is because the injury was from December.
Not necessarily, but who knows how severe the calf is anyway... Don't think they will be rushing him at this point in the pre-season either way.Nothing in here from a month ago. andleanback put it in the preseason training thread and I've repeated it here since it sounded new. 4 weeks ago for a calf it would be healed now unless severe.
Yeah don't think they'll be rushing him. Sounds like he's running at the moment so obviously more than 4 weeks for this particular injury.Not necessarily, but who knows how severe the calf is anyway... Don't think they will be rushing him at this point in the pre-season either way.

Weeks as in weeks to return to full training/match fit – if we were in the middle of the season he'd be back in the side after the X weeks.
Unfortunately he has only two months.
Would be a bit more worried if he was a midfielder. Still has 8 weeks and if he misses the first couple of rounds it will not be a big deal. 8 weeks is certainly enough time to get him going providing he does not have any more set backs.Unfortunately he has only two months.
