Jen2310 Steele’s involvement? He was apparently at least a fortnight away a fortnight ago pre KB. Your report seems to imply he’s tracking along well unless I missed any reference* to running away from the group or an absence?

Good to see McStay has adapted so quickly to the Collingwood injury pattern. At the rate he's going, with the second set back to his injury, he will be lucky to milk 10 games from this season.

Don't understand the excitement at JDG on the training track today, other than the fact he is here not in Bali or elsewhere OS. He still has 2 games to go before being eligible to play.

I don't understand why you would even think of deriding posters for being excited about JDG's return to training - are you working on a daily post quota.
You come across as a killjoy

Wasn't there, so yet to see him running. I'll keep an eye out tomorrow.

Great photos,Jen.I notice in one of the photos Jamie doesn’t appear to have any strapping on his shoulders.Surely that’s a good sign,isn’t it?

Yeah, he doesn't. Did he before? I'm not sure.

The 32-year-old suffered a strained medial collateral ligament (MCL) in his right knee early in his 300th game for the Magpies against North Melbourne in Round 11.



Sidebottom has since been in a brace, but will soon start running again and is targeting a Round 18 return against Fremantle at the MCG.

“It’s slow and steady at the moment,” Sidebottom said on SEN.

“I’m stuck in this brace for what’s been three weeks. Hopefully one more week in the brace and a couple of weeks of running.

“I’ve set my sights on Round 18, so if I can be around (Round) 18 or 19 then I’ll be happy.”

The 32-year-old was injured in his 300th match.

Another theory could be if he sort of split the webbing or the skin somehow when jarring it last week, and then that got infected. Sort of like when Mihocek split the skin when he dislocated his finger earlier in the year (that didn't get infected though as far as I'm aware).

Maybe Grundy snuck into his room at night and injected the "Collingwood Karma Bacteria" while he was asleep.

I mean it all sounds funny re: infections but I can tell you it's not. And it's too easy to get.

I've been terribly sick since start April - first of all picked up a CMV virus somehow/somewhere (and apparently very easy to get as a drive-by so masks are not a dumb idea when in large crowds still).

While I had that, and my immune system was substantially weakened, I had a bout of Cellulitis - which is what I understood Darcy's infection to be. It's no joke. My entire right leg had a hot burning infection for 3 weeks, was almost swollen to twice its size around my ankles and was nearly at the point of getting into my blood stream and causing all sorts of havoc.

The treatment ended up being 2 weeks worth of Goon Bags of penicillin (something beginning with 'C' but all that pharmaceutical talk went over my head) before I even started getting better. I've only really recovered properly over the last 3 weeks after I stopped the course of drugs and just rested.

My point being that there is definitely something going around, and that it's extremely important right now to be more careful with what would even seem to be minor injuries, cuts, etc. You really don't know how bad it can be until you get it seen to.

I hope McStay recovers ASAP as do all the other candidates.

People are excited because they won’t have to listen to you bitch about him not being there now.

Probably because you carried on like a pork chop about this extra leave you imagined he was having?

I don't know where or why there's excitement about JDG being at training either .. he's suspended from playing, not suspended from the club. I guess there are the smart arses who assumed once he was suspended it meant he was off to Bali for a month..

You don’t remember what’s happened in the past????

Why don’t you respond to the poster herself and ask her?

Maybe ER posted it because you carried on about De Goey supposedly being granted extra leave- which she’s just cleared up that he isn’t.

I don't understand why you would even think of deriding posters for being excited about JDG's return to training - are you working on a daily post quota.

[Scodog10]

It was a strong response, but you went strong at JDG when we weren’t standing in the way of him travelling and then the post in here so I’m thinking it hasn’t come as a shock?

 

[BillyElliott]

Feeling a bit attacked TheGreatGrundy?

My comment wasn't directed at you, btw, I didn't even remember your doubts/thoughts/comments on JDG.

No shock. Just indicating I still have a sense of humour, a quality somewhat lacking in many posters in this post lockdown era.

I think there’s plenty of humour on here just take a look at the McStay thread. It might have just been the wrong topic to drill down on given your posting leading up to the bye…

FWIW I didn’t read back, but if there was excitement over JDG being on the track that’s ridiculous. He’s a fit professional footballer why wouldn’t he be on the track.

I believe it came from reports that De Goey would be given additional/extended time-off with no travel restrictions:

Coach Craig McRae said the club will give De Goey additional time off but won't limit the 27-year-old's movements, despite controversy over his "disrespectful" behaviour while partying in Bali during his mid-season break last year.

"Absolute trust in Jordy," McRae told reporters on Wednesday.

I'd say excitement comes from the fact that it appears the penny has finally dropped for Jordy. Which is great for the club and in turn us as supporters.

I'll admit I had concerns he may go to Bali or wherever and maybe party too hard or drink himself into a stupor over some possible depression over his suspension.

But seeing him back at the club training hard despite still having 3 weeks before he can play again in absolutely fantastic

He didn't train with the club leading into the Dee's match, I think. But then again, a few seemed to be missing from the limited training sessions that week.

I’d assume the same. My take is a bit more relaxed and I don’t see any reason to get excited about a person returning to work after some annual leave… I suspect it probably comes down to JDG and I’ve probably got more faith in him than most on here.
