Tom Mitchell, recovering from a broken leg and now a Hawk until the end of 2023

[Manila_Hawk]

Have they pulled the vid? Its blank now, dont tease me like that

Maybe I exaggerated a little how close he is
But... It does sound very good.

Watch the BUPA report. Doesn't seem very indefinite to me. He's saying I'm ready to go... but I have to wait for the doctors OK.

On the other hand, the Grant Birchall silence is DEAFENING.

PS: I always thought that lady named Hannah was boring on BUPA.
The new one is in a class of her own.

That's harsh, I actually emailed them feedback about how bad the old videos were, and I appreciate they've scripted it now, and the new person at least tries to sound enthused.

Anyone else notice this little update since previous reports?

That status has gone backwards and forwards between 'Indefinite' to 'Season' like a yo-yo

 

[9stacks]

Ah yes you’re right, although first 2 rounds was ‘season’, before switching to ‘indefinite’ last week

Bones don't take 6-12 months to heal, and since it was a "clean" break without damage to ligaments etc, it would be a matter of ensuring the bone is strong (perhaps 1-3 months) and then conditioning of the leg (2-3 weeks), followed by a proper block of training to get him ready to play (6-8 weeks?).

Round 14-15 isn't out of the question IMO.

i wouldnt even consider playing him this year even tho he possibly could because we are still a work in progress.

I wouldn't rush him back, but if he's ready, he's ready. I don't see much point in holding him back. Just prolongs his time out of the game, and unnecessarily elongates his return to the game. He's young enough to still be improving, so time playing is more learning time.

I agree with this if he is ready. The game has changed a bit and would do him good getting use to the rythme of the game. Selfishly, I also want to see O'Meara, Mitchell and Worpel at the centre bounces sooner rather than later.

 

[Milkshaker]

Hawks wont rush him. He is a Thoroughbred.

 

[KermitJagger]

If we are in finals contention after the bye, Mitch comes back. There is zero doubt in my mind.

 

[Franko Armani]

If his leg has healed, he trains and when fit he plays. Once it’s healed it’s fine he won’t break it again in that spot.

 

[Franko Armani]

And what another poster said earlier, bones only take a couple of months to heal up.

With the metal, it will be stronger. Simply cannot break again there.

Living tissue over metal endoskeleton. He'll be back.

True to an extent but actually bones don’t regain normal strength for about 2 years. I expert he will be back next year.

Dont bone breaks and fractures return stronger than before?

Ie thai boxers repeatedly punching hard surfaces and kicking bamboo causing small fractures that heal harder?

Guy I work with sat next to TOM on plane a few weeks ago, and TOM told him he would be back round 18.....so long as there were no setbacks.

I suspect that will depend on how we are tracking for finals. If we are as good as out then not sure I see the point on him playing this year.

What adds credibilty to this is Hawthorn are scheduled to play Geelong in that round.

There are always setbacks at HFC

There are always setbacks at HFC

And we always overcome them.

Don't pretend you have a job

Other than that the story rings true
