Source is from Facebook as well, but it looks like Licha's return is scheduled to be at North Ballarat (July 8), and Prismall either at Bendigo for the match v Sandringham (July 21) or at Geelong (July 28).

Sometimes I wonder how much we miss Winderlich in the forward line. Hope he gets back to seniors this year - or is this a given?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Good to hear. Options at that stage of the year will likely be welcome.

 

[Rack Watts]

This is awesome, hope they make some serious impact, our forward line always seems to play better with Winders in it.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Fingers crossed, love the Licha.

Really missed Winderlich in the forward line after he went down last year and it took us a while to adjust without him. He really stepped up his leadership and onfield communication and played what should be a sacrificial role but he made a great go of it, getting amongst the goals and setting up forward play.

I wish him luck and no further setbacks, and obviously hope he can return with no ill effects. Would be great for him to get a month in the 2s to regain touch, fitness, confidence and form before giving him a month of senior footy leading into finals. That'd be ideal.

Sweet. Its always a shame when a player gets a bad injury but winders was in particularly good form when he went down. Lets hope he can make a full recovery.

I cannot believe poor Winderlich hasn't played 100 games!
Stanton is younger and has played 175 :\

Maybe he'll be forced to retire on 98 games, like poor Gary Moorecroft. Hopefully that won't happen.

He's only 27. You'd think he's got a bit of time.

Essendon has played 215 games since Winderlich was drafted to the club (end of 2002). He's only played 98 of them. He sure has had a rough run.

Do people see a role for Prismall at all, this year or going forwards?

Could he tag?

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Prismall at his best is far more damaging than Lonergan.

 

[B-Bomber]

Would love a fit Winders right now to help fill the Zaharakis void.

I get this weird feeling that Prismal may end up like another Shaun Higgins. Lets hope his injuries dont put a downer on himself and the rest of his career
