Was round 11 or 12 wasnt it? He said at training last week that he is still expecting to be back around Round 5.
Round 17, 16th July 2011 - at Docklands v West Coast
I know it seems like it was mid year But as above rd 17,
so rd 5 very very optimistic.
Ah cool, yea feels like it was mid year.. From what ive seen & heard at training id still be surprised if we see him before Round 8. Reckon that 8-10 period will be when he returns.

Unfortunately, Gwilt is going to struggle to get back to his best this year, he did hid knee later in the season so if he gets back before round 11 he has done well. A full year out witha knee reco is the norm and he has missed the fitness base of the rest of them and will need to find touch before coming back in. If someone takes his spot and does well he may not have a spot waiting. Hope I'm wrong still.

No one really spends a full year out anymore, its usually 8-10months now, especially for a younger player. Plus he's been running for a while and will be running up until he is able to play, so his fitness should be still decent, although he will most likely lack match fitness.

Jay Lever - Calf - 1-2 weeks
Raph Clarke - Calf - 3-4 weeks
That's a bummer for Raph, won't be taking much part in the NAB cup then?
OUT: Clarke
IN: Geary
does that sound about right?
Would have thought Cripps, Head, Dempster, Ray, Polo and Milera options also. Note: Geary always smashes preseason fitness work when fit, I'm not yet convinced he can hold down a regular spot...

Don't want to sound like an idiot but who's Young Richard's (Newnes,Ross ????)
Toms SImpkins Nickname is 'Head' and either for the shape of his head... or for other reasons, and often there is another part of a name before Head... " **** head' or Richard..

His name is head because of the size of his head. It is huge and that is the one on top of his neck.
Not sure what it is with Gears, I just remember he killed it on the track in the past, but u need more than being an athlete and im yet to be convinced of his skills thus far. IMO we will go further as a team if a kid can win Jarryns spot and keep him at sandy.
But, Gwilt and Dempster worked out, I just think you've gone all out for the hattrick!
