I always thought there was some sort of gentleman’s agreement between clubs. That opposition clubs can send spies to training sessions, but if they are spotted and asked to leave- they leave
Remember when he was due to be back after the Christmas break? Really hope this is extreme conservatism …

What else would it be though? Young bloke, grown a lot, hot spot on back scan - can have a few months off, no dramas at all

I don’t think there’s any mistruth from the club, but it’s a little deflating to have our top draft pick being behind the 8 ball, even short term. I don’t think he’ll be in senior calculations until round 5 given the VFL fixture & if current guesstimates of his return to full training are accurate.
It’s kind of like opening your presents on Xmas morning, but you need to go buy batteries when the shops open again.

I do agree that it’s a little deflating, however Essendon of old would have had him in full training asap and would lead to 6 months out due to a stress fracture

Essentially has to have a mini pre season when he’s right to go
Nah they always said that would be when he would start running again, mate

Sydney draftee Max King had a hot spot picked up in his back last week- it had progressed to a stress fracture and he is out for three months.
That’s why the early pick-up for Robey is a huge TICK for our new fitness Dept.

Just means they’re good to go?
Still haven’t told us what injury Perkins has what are the club afraid of?
Not hard to put up a list of players and what type of injury they have and how far along they are in their recovery.
Genuinely don’t know, but are other clubs doing this? I haven’t really seen it.
There is no requirement for AFL published injuries lists in pre-season.
