Player Watch Reef McInnes

So same as JDG last year?

I would think so.

 

[Jen2310]

8-12 weeks then.

He is 2 weeks into it. 10 weeks to go.

JDG missed 9 games last year.
so let's hope for 7 more weeks at the most!

And he does seem to be ahead of his recovery. They were surprised how well his finger was tracking after a week (as indicated in the video feature)

JDG missed 8 weeks the condensed season pushed that out to 9 matches

Reef will be aiming for a late March early April return.

Good thing is there’s no need to rush it, and he’ll be able to continue working on his fitness.

You.ve stimulated me to look it up - damn lockdown!

It was as you say, so exactly 60 days between games for JDG.
A nice 2 game warm up before finals.

Will Reef be given a little longer due to the less important time of the year?

 

[Jen2310]

They wont rush him. He's a long term player, and gives him time to work on his fitness.

 

[stormskye]

Isn’t this the Reef McInnes thread?

 

[Billys Back]

If he wins the rising star we should trade him.

Only if he struggles to get a kick in Yr 3 and becomes an ordinary bloke who doesn’t give a flying heck about his teammates. Then yeah, he will likely go the same way...

 

[Horaceg]

We knifed Stevo big time

Hopefully we have turned his career around, he was was Going backwards.

Reef has a way to go before he can repeat Stevo’s first year, Stevo’s final year should not even be a pass grade imh.

 

[Jen2310]

Some of you people are off the planet.
LET IT GO.
This is the Reef McInnes thread get over it.

Reef Jaidyn McInnes apparantely...

Stevo is not our problem anymore. How about focus on our own talent. Its a new year. Find the bridge, and get over it.

 

[THATSGOLD]

Let’s see how Stevo goes this year.

Yeh changing you diet is hard at 21-22 better trade him.

Let’s see how McInnes goes. High expectations it seems.

This is the Reef thread. There is a thread for Stevo that is very active. If you want to discuss him do it there

Thanks

How about we close that down as well please so we can start to focus on the positives and not dwell on the past, like some love to do on this forum!

So many simply won't let go, it's sad and boring for the adults.

No it’s a relevent topic to the Collingwood FC. There is no need to visit that thread if you don’t want to discuss Stevo

 

[jackcass]

I'd assume McInnes will be doing a shoit load of fitness work over the next few weeks until he's allowed to recommence ball work drills. Won't do him any harm given endurance was 1 of his purported weaknesses.

I would say it mostly depends on the timing of the second level practice matches kicking off. In past years practice matches start around Rd 1 and the season proper is from Rd 3 or 4 so I’d lean toward them taking the conservative path and easing him into the final practice match.

My understanding of the injury is that it’s one that is reasonably uniform in that you don’t do any contact until the button comes off and then you get the all clear following that. The two timelines from anecdotal evidence I have are 6 and 2 weeks for both so unless there’s a setback or he’s a miracle healer it’s a fairly “standard” timeline.

Not an expert but years ago did work with and see a good number of tendon repairs. It’s not really something you can test for healing and the healing time is pretty standard. At least was. I would think no early return, have to let it heal

Whats the go with Reef is he being held back for a while?

Ah bugger didnt see that in the news. I believe he wouldve probably otherwise played rd1?

Unlikely. Needs to build his tank.
