Maybe they wear them at home etc.
Complete rubbish. He wouldnt be at a public event, marching, if he had a serious foot injury. Now which of those to statements makes more sense?
Well its quite clear now that Cons statement makes much more sense however I stand by the fact that some players wear moonboots between games and still play and they also wear them in public even if they dont have a serious injury because the club tell them they have to.

"ST KILDA'S Sam Gilbert is the latest player to hit a pre-season speed bump, the defender in doubt for Round 1
after suffering a stress fracture in his left foot."
He has enough stress, ppl like me baggin him for always getting caught out on the left...
armchair experts...
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

I think they mean 6 weeks from now. He'll be 50/50 for Round 1.
So what is it, 6 weeks, 3 months, half the season?
Everyone givinghysterical opinion and only one report in the paper saying Round 1.
Would like to ask the posters where thet get their information from?
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
Luckily its not the navicular, thats the one that ruins careers (think Matthew Egan from Geelong) Its only a small metatarsal so he should be Ok, the only issue is he will be off legs for a few weeks which means he will lose some conditioning, probably miss 2-3 weeks of the season proper. No big deal, one thing we do not lack is half backs.
I based round six on a broken bone means no running for the next six weeks ,is a big blow to fitness levels so maybe six weeks to get back in the seniors. Hope I am wrong and he is ready for round one.

If you think he will get to round 1 or round 2 teams - please contact me with betting details. He's not going to make it to the team by then by any stretch.

Im disappointed because I think Gilbo is going to be one of our best players in the next 2 years - But hey big door just opened for Jimmy Webster to play in this first 3 matches on a wing or half back.
Lets see what Jimmy W can do against players his own age in those first few games. I reckon he's a very very good prospect....
Dare I say it but i reckon he has a bit of Luke Hodge about him...

Good to see you posting Ax, where you been?
I've been around - but don't come here as much.. mostly posting on bigfooty. That one works with tapatalk and is moderated more to my liking. I commented on this one as I've had a metatarsal injury an year or so back but managed to avoid surgery. So, I had some idea (and sympathy).

Tom Lee (shoulder) – test

can't understand how some ppl think they can predict someones injury layoff,unless they happen to be the doctor that assessed the player. Even they can get it wrong

Wasn't that the admission?
I think it is exactly an admission. Why would anyone care about being wrong. We dont even know who we are and even if we did who cares if you are wrong. Cairnsman made a habit of it sticking up for SW.
