Brisbane also won the flag.
Round 9 seems reasonable, that would involve getting a good chunk of the preseason under his belt. Having been through one myself I know how hard it is

All the best for a successful recovery Lewis.

Looked really good and was a ready made replacement for Ridley we lost some structure after he went off which let Sydney back in no doubt about it

Just looking at the photo of him in the Gatorade shower, and it might be the angles, but his legs do look underdeveloped compared to his upper body.
12 months of leg work might be unlock a new level of development
They say footy is brutal, but that was absolutely brutal, ( an ACL is a massive career interuption for any player) especially after waiting so long for his debut. He was more than ready, he has been ready for quite some time. Get thee in the weights room Lewis !

Especially when you consider he has been pretty resilient in the VFL the past couple of years … has played pretty much every game there since we drafted him yeah?

Hasn’t had surgery yet?
That is a weirdly small amount of swelling for such a big injury. And I’m surprised he is doing so much already on it.
Hopefully it means it won’t be 12 months out.
Times are changing.
Evidence strongly suggest doing weight training pre-op is immensely beneficial to recovery.

There’s really no issue, doing quite a lot on a freshly ruptured ACL.
It’s after the surgery that they’re really ■■■■■■ for quite a while.
Means nothing wrt how long he’ll be out.
