do you think its a similar injury to hawk and they have decided just to get it under the knife asap as crossing fingers hasn't worked in the past?

12 weeks... so we're looking at a round 8ish return in the VFL if all goes well.

Safe to say he will struggle to get anywhere near his best after an interruption like that.

FFS.

Same injury/operation as Dawson Simpson had apparently.

If the article isn't lying to us - he only experienced the pain recently. Will miss 12 weeks.

Jackson Thurlow just entered the 'play every game' zone. Cam Guthrie - surely - will now play 100% midfield. There's no 'move Guthrie down back if Smedts is having a bad game' leeway anymore.

 

[CF]

That is a blow to the team. But all the best to Allan in his recovery.

 

[dazbroncos]

No pressure Cads, Mitch, Hypen, Stringer, Mots, TV…

Here we go….

Good well soon Bundy…..and don't rush to get back… Take the time and do it right!

Fantastic! Just fantastic!

&%$# someone will need to step for us as another inside midfielder and has a golden opportunity to get themselves a permanent spot.

You notice I was only talking about Midfielders….

Glass half full. Gives us more of chance to see MCarthy , Schroder , Cowan etc . Just get Bundy right important player for our next group

He is already picked G. We need to see what else we have so lets see what some of the other kids can do. Makes the Melb game in Darwin more interesting

I want him picked as a midfielder, and a midfielder only.

Ah **** it!

Well you have plenty of friends...although "only" is probably a little too firm. How many players are only on the ground. He will continue to develop around defense and mid (maybe defensive mid). I wouldn't mind seeing him rotate with someone like Kelly for instance , cause the only way he spends more time in the middle is find someone to do the role down back thats proficient or has long term potential. Bews, Stringer, Thurlow ...( not sure about THunt though)

 

[you pick one]

From Balme
"As a result he underwent surgery to correct the issue and will be able to resume in around about 12 weeks."

“We have experience with this type of surgery, with Dawson Simpson having the same operation two years ago."

uuuuum Dawson missed 21 weeks I reckon and It didn't work.Went back under the knife again 12 months latter.

Oh for shits sake!

It's not as firm as 'he can't leave the centre square' - but I don't mean 30% midfield, 70% defence - I mean take Allen Christensen's role by the gonads and make him worried that he won't slot straight back into the side when he returns. (Which of course he will).

I want Guthrie in the team as a midfielder - with Thurlow picking up the slack down back.

Big big chance for someone (aka JJ) to press for a spot!
