Josh Dunkley

[MYOB]

Will have surgery. Out for 12 to 16 weeks

 

[Testekill]

So 16 weeks would be sneaking in just in time for the later part of the finals. Not ideal, here's hoping that it's 12 weeks and he's back by the pre-finals bye.

That sucks. At least with his diligence he will be back before finals and be in ripping shape.

 

[Bulldog Brent]

I’ve got every confidence he’ll return in August primed for a massive September. The two byes will help big time. And the positive is it’ll accelerate the development of the younger kids.

16 weeks would have him back in time before finals.

 

[Munnez]

Dunks is the ultimate professional if it is at all possible to make it back before finals he is the man to get it done. And time for us to develop a new structure with the available personnel

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I hope Ads can cope without him

 

[Guido]

Might be my imagination, but historically he's seemed the type that takes quite a few weeks to get back up and going after long term injuries. Well, most players do, but he seems to struggle to adjust to the pace a bit more than others.

If he gets back in 12 weeks and gets 3-4 games in before finals, he'll hopefully be cherry ripe.

Plus it's Josh Dunkley. You know he'll do everything humanly possible to ensure he's back in closer to 12 weeks than 16.

I wise man once said to me IN EVERY JOKE THERE IS SOME TRUTH and I agree with that I do hope Adam can cope with no Dunks around

Yeah, and even worse case it is 16 weeks, that still means he's available for the first final. Imagine the carnage he'll unleash.

I'm sure he'll be around, just not out on the ground. He'll be at the club just as much, only doing rehab instead of training. No doubt they will even travel together each day, except Ads will be driving. It will be good for them to support each other in adversity.

 

[Cadillac]

This is a great result. I remember a few saying season over in the autopsy thread.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Plenty of shoulder massages and chill for those two over the coming months.

 

[ScragCity]

Ideally it would be good to get at least 2-3 games into him before finals. Hopefully that's how it plays out.

 

[Golden_6]

I have full faith we'll see him for the final 2 or 3 rounds of the H&A season, ready to be primed for finals time.

 

[BRWB]

Imagine there'll be a Get Well Soon card from Tullamarine on his bedside table and a signed photo of Adrian to go with it.

 

[fronkalicious]

How will this effect his trade value???

They will still be able to see each other after work!

At least with upper body injury, he can still run

 

[Mofra]

He's had a shoulder reco before, surely that helps him knowing what to expect and what will assist his rehab. I'd expect him to be fit for finals

 

[X_box_X]

I'm backing him to return by the end of July.

1.5 games in the VFL, before returning in the second last round of the season.

I'm not too displeased about that. It could be worse.

Could be a weapon come finals, a fresh contested beast that isn't banged up from a long season. Fit and raring to go s
Silver lining from an awful outcome

The last weekend of August is 18 weeks away.

If he misses 16 weeks, he has two H&A rounds available and the pre-finals bye.

6 rounds have been completed. Add 16 weeks (if no byes) = out to and including round 22 but there is the mid season bye. Therefore, if 16 weeks is necessary, he comes back for the final home and away and then there is the bye before the first week of the finals.

I made it 1 H&A (see my post), what have I missed?
