No he hasn’t. You’re reading an injury report compiled by a bloke who hasn’t even so much as spoken to the injured player, let alone actually assessed him.
It’s ■■■■■■■ garbage. Crow said available in 2 weeks.

People have to stop reading those media injury reports as anything but fiction.
Not just Joey- Matt Day is listed as 2 weeks away, but hopefully plays this weekend
No mention of Zerk, even though he’s actually injured.
It’s the work experience kid filling column space.

No it’s worse. It’s the self appointed AFL injury expert Doc Larkins making assessments on injured players with literally no idea of the actual severity of the injuries or progression of rehab. They are terrible.

Maybe between us we can resolve this.
It’s the work experience kid shadowing Larkins who writes the copy.
Larkins is too busy pontificating on other media outlets to actually fill in a grid pro forma himself

Thanks for the clarification. I honestly thought the AFL website just did a consolidated list based on each clubs medical reports. Didn’t know that they actually did their own assessments!
Didn’t realise myself until I read on the website yesterday. It’s standard AFL Media dross.
Not even close.
Joey has been very durable. From 2014 onwards he has put together full seasons. Last year was his first major set back.
Gumby was just a frustrating succession of major setbacks after major setbacks - missed two whole seasons in a row, then another after his only decent run.

It says Callum Twomey reports our injuries. I always thought he was pretty good with Essendon stuff?
He clearly hasn’t bothered to ask the club doc or high performance coach…
He writes the little paragraph underneath the table, I don’t know whether he actually fills the table or not.

Maybe he did ask. Given the rabble that is Essendon, it’s possible that no-one at Essendon knows what’s going on.

There was no mention either way of Stewart.
Are you saying the club has misplaced him?
Is it stupid to suggest that he needs 2-3 games in the 2s? Been basically 12 months since his last AFL game. Played the JLT games but looked injured in those too
