Will have to earn his selection via solid VFL form ... too obvious?
I think it would be very risky to plonk him straight into a league game straight off the bat with just training match sim as his only preparation.
Considering he has had a chronic groin problem, I’d be thinking he’ll start off in the VFL where the pace is a bit slower.
And not to mention that rd 1,2,3 games are played flat out on dry pitches at full pace from all involved.
Being the size that he his I’m hoping the club shows extreme caution and doesn’t get too carried away with a return asap.
I’m in no hurry to get him back.
Groins are hidden time bombs that can go off without warning.
He’s a worry.
