Ben Johnson says Didak will return....

[Coin_Toss]

this week for Williamstown. Get down to Trevor Barker Oval and support him!

Will he get much gametime? Apparently, he has been burning down the house, but he will be constantly monitored to increase his chances of getting through the game unscatched.

All the best, Dids.

 

[nick_savo]

What a great recovery if he does this week.
Good luck Dids

 

[Stakerz]

Collingwood need Didak fit for round one

 

[Frederlick]

What a bonus, with 05 out just what they need! Hope it comes off and isn't a gamble, don't think they would. Lets hope that they can beat North and have a real crack at a weakened (but still very dangerous) West Coast. A win over there (Perth) will be gold at the start of the year.

People call him Dids, I call him THEDAK!!!!

Great news!!!

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

I'm happy to see him coming back.

However, if he hurts his knee again, I expect everybody who was involved in the decision for him to return so soon to be fired.

Agreed.
We'll see how he goes this week and go by that.

 

[DarrenM]

He is returning a bit quick but they have got the best doctors down there, so if they say he's allright then he must be ok.

In all seriousness I am no doctor, but his my take on it. Liba was the last person I know who came back from a Reco after 6 months. Daicos Also recovered very well from Reco.

So I would say that, as Liba, Didak & Daicos all have low centre of gravity (short Legs), it helps prevent further injury.

Primus, Darcy & Rehn all had back to back reco's & are all ruckman


Just my theory & I think he will be fine, as it was only a paritial tear!

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Oh, I have high hopes that he will be back to his best in Rd 1, and we will benefit from his good play.

However, if he does re-injure himself, I expect there to be firings in our medical staff.

 

[Aristotel]

Trevor Barker Oval's the one on beach rd Sandringham right?

Game starts at 2.00pm?

 

[Munger]

I would wait until round 3. So many players do knees at Subiaco and to have him playing there in round 2 when we can't be sure he is a 100% is a huge gamble.

 

[Shellz]

Hopefully it's not to soon but wishes him all the best

Go Maggies!

 

[didaka]

If he is ready get him out there and going. There is no use holding him back another 2-3 weeks if he is cleared to play. Let him get out there and test it out, and get some confidence on the knee so that he is match fit by round 3-4.

 

[DWil6]

We need to get him in for the Richmond game because he has to be our answer to their Nathan Brown who seems to be developing a habit of making us look silly. I don't ever want him to do that again. Can we sneak Brodie on to collar him, or is that unsporting?

 

[RustyG]

What exactly did Didak do to his knee?
What did he damage?
If it was only a medial ligament tear,then he should have no problems with it now.
However if he did something to his anterior crutiate ligament(ACL),and had to have that replaced or repaired,then I would say we are rushing him back far to soon.
I have complete faith in our medical staff,but I hope they aren't playing him when he is not 100% fit and healthy.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Apparently he had a partial reconstruction of his ACL.

Mate, the Jamaican police will be called into action I reckon if that happens.
