Glad it's not ACL. Hopefully coming back after bye. Usually, they know after surgery.Suns reveal extent of gun mid's knee injury - Suns reveal extent of gun mid's knee injury
Meniscus tear, short to medium term Injury.
What’s the timeframe on Flanders?
Great thing about Touk is he’s the ultimate professional and will do everything possible to be back as soon as possible.Glad it's not ACL. Hopefully coming back after bye. Usually, they know after surgery.
As bad as it is with Touk,Two more weeks but you would suspect would need a VFL run
I think it could be a blessing in disguise.As bad as it is with Touk,
What we really need is some of these next tier players coming in and showing if they get 10 minutes each half playing on the ball, they can make a positive impact.
Giving Flanders and Davies a go and helping them build some confidence might not be the worst thing.
Absolutely. For us to get anywhere near top 4 team in the next x number of years we need these guys to be good players.
One our biggest issues during the Ablett era was his unwillingness to spend time outside of the midfield. I distinctly remember him talking about how he still saw himself as a full-time midfielder in the 2016/17 period and you just wonder how much that selfish attitude hurt us when the younger guys we put midfield minutes into (Prestia, Bennell, O'Meara etc) started to leave and we seriously lacked midfield experience outside of Ablett.I think it could be a blessing in disguise.

Now Touk isn't that guy. He would be willing to play anywhere he's asked but this injury does force us to give more midfield minutes to other guys and we know the amount of time we're putting into the big three has been questioned this year. I think we saw a better spread against North with Fiorini/Weller getting more time in the middle and I'm sure we'll see Humphrey running through there later this year as well. We've also got guys like Elijah Hollands, Alex Davies and Jed Anderson in the 2s that can step up and share the load.
Obviously would have preferred Touk to not get injured but there is a silver lining when you consider our current midfield conundrum.

SEN’s Tom Morris says MRO Michael Christian had to determine the outcome after Ballard complained of neck soreness in the aftermath.
“Michael Christian as the MRO has to make a determination on the impact before Charlie Ballard gets a scan today,” Morris said on SEN Breakfast.
Maybe in the injury report tomorrow.Any update on Touk timeline?
Round 12 a possibilityAny update on Touk timeline?
Round 12 a possibility
You might just escape him
Out of my assWhere you hear that?
Out of my ass
Just scaring the Adelaide poster, Bet he had a nightmare about Touk last night
I did not.Out of my ass

Just speculation, but I guess they might wait and see how we are looking a bit later in the season to see if it is worth bringing Touk back for a possible finals tilt or just shut him down for the year.They don't want to tell us Miller's return timeline. Pretty sure they know.
