What’s this?
CJ another 5 weeks. That's an 8 weeker.

Assuming they’ve gone to work on his body again with what they learnt in Doha, reset and build up the base.

Exactly what I thought.
No use not using the knowledge that has been gained.

Sounds like it's all healed up and now they're just doing the right thing for his long term availability by giving him a 6 week preseason.

CJ, Day and Lewis are arguably our 3 most exciting players and all 3 are injured on average 40% of the time. It’s some real bad luck but bloody frustrating.

Along the way, I heard various prognostications; approximately round 2, approximately round 4 or 5...to 'might not play this year'.
If it was Deal or No Deal, and they were the options, would you bank it?
Disappointed it's not best case, it sort of compatible with medium case, relieved it's not worst case.
Which is just a long winded way of saying I really don't have any positive or negative reaction to this..which begs the question.."Why did I bother posting at all?"
And as the answer to that is probably another 8 lines of waffle, I'll spare you all and stop now..
(Big footy tells me I've posted 17,000 times over 20 years. This one could well be the most pointless. But I'm hitting 'submit' anyway...So there!)

If Day returns round 7 that’s not a bad result really given foot stress fractures are slow healers.. was totally prepared for him to return after the bye or later…

Taking the conservative approach for Daisy and CJ is the right thing to do.

That kind of injury was always going to take a long time to manage. Better we get it completely right so as to mitigate any lasting or recurring issues down the track. Day is too important to our long-term future.
Same goes with CJ. His issues are recurring and obviously need to be managed carefully too.
We aren't competing for finals this season, so it's best to treat both cautiously and meticulously.

Eldorado's sanity - 2 weeks away.
I would've loved Day to be back in a game or 2 but I'd much rather we take the cautious side and have him fully healed than rush him back. He's way too important for this clubs future to be risking him to try to squeak out a few extra wins. Finals for us this season was always going to be dependant on the starting 23's health so it is what it is and who knows what happens over the next 4-5 games.
Chad will be on the park before Day and CJ at this rate.
Gives a few others the chance to step up while Day is out. It's a stacked midfield... or rather should be... so not everyone will fit.
eldorado, you give yourself far too much credit. This post is barely in your top 10,000 most pointless.
I like the deal or no deal test. Will use that more often in my life.
This is why you're the Hawks board Mr Miyagi <3
These foot stress fracture injuries are really shitty and slow healing. I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed.

He was at Casey on the weekend but is rarely sighted at training. Not doing much

A shame.
We have a lot of load based injuries. Burge may have pushed them too hard this pre season.
