That feels like a season write-off to me going off Fyfe's recovery and his own previous recovery, that's a huge blow

He might be back in time for finals, but it’s ****ed. Can’t afford to lose Freddy now
Really hard luck for Switta. I hope he beats the odds and is able to make it back at some stage this season but won't hold my breath with a stress fracture.
On the minor positive side, the small-medium forwards have proven they can get it done without him in the team so it's not as terminal to our attacking potency as it might have been in previous seasons. Lots of pressure on Walters, Frederick and Schultz now.

Hopefully Western can get a run in the WAFL and be an option too for injury.
12 weeks minimum before he can play, but realistically 16-24 weeks. Would be a miracle to make it back in time for a home prelim.
That really sucks
Far out.
Out with concussion for 2 weeks. Then gets suspended. Finally comes in, gets a back fracture. What a horrid month or so for Switter. What’s with back and fractures for him? His running mechanics ?

Poor Switta. I think he's the type of player we'll only get 12-16 weeks out of him each season, because of his fragility. Not his fault, and I'll be glad if he can just contribute a 60-80% season for the next seven or eight years, if thats all his body will allow.
JL's Freo aint about any one player. We'll be ok, we're in good hands.

I knew something was up. I watched the replay on Monday on Kayo and at the end of the song, Son Son and Serong were around Switta looking concerned and asking what was wrong and looking in the direction of his knee I thought

I saw that too, but I was just hopeful it was something minor. Obviously that's not the case, real damn shame
Seems like it too.
Had a great start to the season. Wonder if they upped his training load during the time he was out.
Disappointing for him. Knows what he’s capable of when he does play.
We might get Switkowski back for finals.
Extremely unlikely before then.

Switta is a massive loss
He fuggin lights the game up with Shultz.

The only thing that's acceptable about losing Switta is that Frederick is coming back in. But I would love to have both 
Poor Switta, so much injury, so little time on field... and he is so good (and so passionate) when on the field.

Once you have an issue with your back it's something that could trouble you from time to time for the rest of your life.
He may have had slipped a disc as a youngster and then caused chronic issues.
