Jimmy has improved again this season. It's a terrible blow for him and the club. We'll have to dig deeper to fill his spot. Easier said than done. I hope he recovers well.


When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Personally with no inside knowledge, I do not think its an ACL. First of all he bent his knee and was able to put a little bit of weight on it. When you do your ACL, you are not able to put any weight on it at all. Although it may just be wishful thinking on my part.

My guess would be a jarring of the knee or he has done his PCL, in which case he will be back in 4-10 weeks.

Figures crossed however.

I went for two runs after tearing my acl fully. Along with a g2 tear of the medial and meniscus.

Just saying.

No the Match Review Panel has already determined that the Weagle who shepherded Gwilt miles off the ball had no other means of contesting.
Said the chairman of the MRP "The ball was so far away, Gwilt and the Weagle had no chance of contesting the ball so the Weagle did the only thing he could, he attacked Gwilt instead".

Each "Mow" line at Etihad stadium is 12.5metres (4 Mow lines cover the centre square. It was more like 15 to 20 metres.

Would the Eagle getting a couple of weeks make you feel better about Jimmy's knee??? :roll:

The most we could expect is for the Geish to come out and say that
"the shepperd was more than 5 metres off the ball and should have drawn a free kick"
There was no malice from what I saw.
It is interesting though now that the MRP is really taking into account injuries when handing down suspensions…

If I'd been told back in 2008 that I'd be feeling this sad for Jimmy going out in 2011 and that he was a huge player in our immediate future, I may have thought "Yeah, whateva".

I've become a huge fan of him over the last couple of years and he proved me completely wrong.

As someone else so eloquently put it, FAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKK

Opens up a spot for Tommy Lynch. Hopefully he will do a Jack Steven.

Bummer. I'm a big fan of Gwilt's and the way he's applied himself since finding a niche in the backline.

As our dear departed Yabby would have put it, "crisis creates opportunity.''

Someone needs to step up and fill the hole.

We now have Jimmy Gwilt, Lenny Hayes, Sam Crocker, Tom Ledger, Jackson Ferguson, all with season ending injuries, and Jamie Cripps listed as indefinite. Maybe we could have a sticky keeping us informed on the progress of the boys with long term injuries?

Tragic for Gwilt! bloody tragic.

All the best in the recovery mate, looking forward to seeing him again next year kicking ass.
