The conspiracy theorist in me is asking why Durdin's arm is very, very conveniently covering up Weitering's calf from view...

How far away is Walsh?

 

[skadoosh]

How far away is Walsh?

Assuming he's turned up to Ikon this morning he's about 26km from where I am at the moment.

However, you'd need to keep in mind that the distance will differ for you depending on where you are in relation to Sam Walsh.

On topic: DQ82 mentioned he'd he right for Gather round.

How far away is Walsh?

How long is a piece of string…

Can’t see him being wheeled out until he has no soreness and then I would still give him 2 weeks of full training…

Having said that, he will probably play this week…

Hopefully that helps!

R2-D2, DQ82 and their mate Jacob Weitering?

Double the distance from one end to the middle

 

[JJBagger]

Channel 7’s footage of Walsh looked like he was in full training kit. Is he back in full training?

It’s old footage - you can see Ed in the background.

 

[BlueAbroad]

It was interesting that Blue Abroad (who now seems to have internal club links) posted his early video on Sam Walsh saying nothing at all untoward with Walsh and everyone getting hysterical. That it was only precautionary insinuating watch for his imminent return. I do wonder if the club used him.

I know nothing more than you about Walshy mate. My sense is that he had a setback in that match simulation and we see him back when we see him back. I have no idea whatsoever what the timeline or his rehab program looks like.

You'd think we'd be getting an update today or tomorrow in the lead up to Friday's game.

I don't think we like to let the opposition know too much about how we might select the side.

I don't think we will know much until teams are selected.

We have the possibility of making 4-6 changes. Think we will use that as a tactic leading up to this game. Keep the opposition guessing as to what our lineup will look like.

I don't know if it really makes much different to opposition planning. But what it does mean is that they have to plan for 29 potential opposition players rather than 22-24 so that could be something.

Would not even be surprised if we name Walsh and withdraw him on match day.

Shortage of compute resources on the cloud providers at the moment with the palace using it all to create movies of Kate. We're up next and the plan is to have footage of Walsh taking Jezza like speckies and weightlifting a few 100kg.

Fair enough. I did want to know so you have answered.

You can understand why I pointed it out though. The theme of your early Walsh video built down the significance of Walsh's setback. Instead it was right to be frustrated as he missed the season start. And he missed in the context of yet another season start with a big injury list of key players.

I mean, it's fundamentally right to get frustrated if a player of the calibre of Walshy/Weitering is going to miss 'any' game.

Carry on the good work Terry, especially where your investigate the media bit. It was this that made me post on your video in the first place. You're practically mainstream now.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Information on the Walsh injury has been all over the place. The only conclusion I can draw from that is nobody (including the club) actually knew exactly what was going on. Back injuries can be funny like that.

The vibe I'm getting is that it really was precautionary at first, then there was concern as it wasnt improving as quickly as anticipated. Now it's come good.

Obviously at each of those stages there would have been people looking at it more optimistically and more pessimistically which has filtered through here depending on where people are getting their info.

 

[Shambolic]

My understanding is that Walsh pulled out of a Club / social occasion during the week given back soreness
