The guy had just been slotting into the side so well. That 50 metre bullet to Watts was brilliant.

He sure has great balance and power. Hopefully this aspect of his game isn't effected by the injury down the track.

Hope we show him some support by getting that 47 off his back and upgrade it to 6 or 17 or 23

Fair call.

There will no doubt be a couple of other numbers he can chose from as well. Hoping 31 isn't one of them though.

Thanks tornsword, that really is the best news possible.

It would be great if you could keep us updated on his recovery!

Stretch,

Been back at the club for 2 weeks now. Leg coming along as expected with rod inserted down the middle. Walking with crutches but can support body weight and walk without the crutches with no discomfort. He plans on running in a few weeks but I think the club would like him to take more time.

All in all though, will be doing a pre-season next year- far more than what most people would have thought at the time. Keep you posted.

Hang on- doing a pre-season? So he could line up round one assuming all goes well and form warrants it? That's amazing if so! Thanks for udpate

Yeah, incredibly it's possible. Whilst it would be unlikely as his pre-season will begin Jan/Feb likely whilst most players will be starting in November/December, James Strauss will be playing footy for Melbourne next year which is the best thing we could have hoped for :)

Some good news amongst the doom and gloom... How refreshing. Thanks for the update.
 
Just a minor bump here.

I saw Straussy out in Prahran last night (not drinking and looking very respectable I might add) and had a quick chat to him (I had a lot of questions but didn't want to hassle him too much).

He's out of the moon boot and is walking, he said he starts running soon and that he should be able to complete at least 50% of the pre season training!

He also seemed a good bloke, asking me how my night was going, etc.

We can definitely expect to see him out there next year IMO.

Wow, it doesn't seem like he broke it that long ago. Maybe he's a quick healer.
 
Great news but I hope he doesn't rush it. He can take all of next year of so long as he gets 100% and doesn't aggravate it or cause further damage.
 
Yeah I saw him out in Hawthorn on Tuesday, no moon boot as you say and looking sharp. Didn't talk to him though.

that is great news quick healing wow so happy to hear he is getting better so quickly

You Hawks fans do know about quick recoveries after the apocalypse :thumbsu::)
 
Yeah this kid will be a serious player for us. Better ease him into it.

Would anyone else like to see him have a stint as a small forward when he comes back?

That's the thing, he has all the skills! Plus it'd be easier to phase him back in just as a crumber/forward target.
 
Used to play some junior footy on the HFF as well.

Oh for sure. I was just thinking as a short term stint to ease him back in. Everyone whines about how we have no small forward options on the list. But we do, they just might not appear obvious.
 
Love me some James Strauss.

Was really coming along at the time of his injury, glad to hear hes progressing well. :)
