Then strength work, then 6wks in he can start running... someone please feel free to jump in and clarify if Im wrong
the tear is in the middle of the tendon and the doctor expects that will allow for better healing. Alot better then near the bone or where the muscle and tendon attach.
he will do some strengthing work in other areas of the body so it wont be complete rest
roo heals very well, his other injuires have taken the usual time so that bodes well
Look they wont know more till 2 weeks time, then 6 weeks time. Don't be suprised to see him back around round 14

2013 trade/draft best ever?
Billings - future brownlow medallist Longer - future best ruck
Dunstan - future captain Eli - future cult hero
Acres - future norm smith
Have it some authority (but obviously not a top source) that everyone is aiming at Round 15. Much concern surrounds Roo's overtraining, he thinks perhaps he can be back the week after the mid-season break. They need a real training 'governor' for him. Obviously he is our best player so they will take all precaution.
So if they manage him properly and everything goes as well as possible R15 is the return date. Lets hope for that.

That would be Brisbane at the Gabba. Would rather him not travel for his first back. Rd 16 against the Pies at the MCG would be an interesting return.

Why does it matter?
Do you really think a plane flight matters when he's fully recovered?
He could by all means spend an extra day in Brissie for recovery on the Sunday and Monday before returning to Melbourne.
Rooey is a race horse - makes sense to control his training.

From what i have been told he will play again round 10 but it depends more if Steph is back otherwise it could be as late ar round 3 next year. Footy wise how would anyone know as his doctors dont even know.
