Updated after the club injury report went up:
Gawn - Mission says he will do his first run this weekend and 'probably 8-10 weeks away' which would be fantastic considering the last couple weeks Mission was leaning towards longer than 12 weeks
Petracca - Training well and will go through a test
Gus - Will definitely be fine for next week but just not risking it this week
Tim Smith - Still in hospital but should be discharged soon, didn't give a timeframe

I hope they rest Petracca. Short turnaround and with injuries starting to pile up, we don't need to push him through unless he's 100% right to go.

Yay
If its bone bruising he should be okay - that doesnt have any structural risk to his knee.

Glad they didn't!
Gawn is walking freely? Bring him back in under strict instructions that he can only walk within the centre circles, would legitimately add value to the team. Doesn't even need to come to the quarter time huddles or the rooms at half time, they can just take out a cut lunch to him.

I like the idea of a cut lunch. A ploughman's on a board would be good. With some Stilton, a pork pie and some gherkins and a boiled egg.

Really hoping he can get 4-5 games before the end of the year, or at the very least be lighting a fire up the ass of Wagner and O. Mac from the VFL.
How likely is Jayden Hunt to miss this weekend for you guys?

Comes down to what the club wants to do. Was up and about after the incident and back on the ground at the end of the game so it doesn't look like he's having too many issues but if the club decide to be extra cautious then he'll have a week off.

Hawthorn related since it is Frawley related, but does anyone know what 'turf-toe' actually means? Is that what Frost had last year?
It sounds vaguely equine to me for some reason, which is pretty stupid since horses don't have toes. At least I don't think they do. Hard to tell through their hoofs

I think it's along the lines of getting the toe jammed in the ground, aka turf, while pushing off and doing some nastyish ligament damage.
Maybe a horses hoof is a toe shield, like a giant toe nail wrapped around their feet. Developed by evolution to protect horses from the dreaded turf toe that had dogged them for aeons. Honestly I think we need to get out the nail clippers and cut one open, just to be sure.

How is AVB still 8 weeks away? Thats basically his season done. Not good at all I reckon he would be a good player around September
