[Girthquake]

KEY forward Chris Dawes has had a minor setback in his preparation for his first season at Melbourne, straining a calf at training last week.

Not the best of starts to the pre season for us! always seem to have something going on.

Don't mind getting the niggles over before the Christmas break.. Really not even worth reporting considering he is on a modified program.

Will be flying round 1!!!

I'd rather that than an ACL or something. You're never going to have the perfect pre-season hope he recovers quickly.

Thanks for the heart-attack!

I opened this thread with visions of a headline like "Dawes felled by Lysfranc injury"...

Thankfully doesn't seem too serious.

Reported on Adelaide Now...

Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney said Dawes' injury was only a minor one and the former Collingwood forward would be right to resume training this week.

"Chris Dawes reported calf soreness following a running session last week," Mahoney said.

"Scans revealed a very minor calf strain.

"He has completed a week of rehab and will resume running on Monday."

So it was a 4 day injury!!!

 

[Demon 16]

Well I guess I've seen you worse..

It was on both sites

Apparently Jack Watts couldnt finish training today either

"there was some concern for former No.1 draft pick Jack Watts, who walked off the track late in the session with a groin concern.
Watts appeared to be in some discomfort as he ended his session feeling the right side of his groin "

Watts suffered a slight bout of Gastro last week and is still recovering.

No groin injury, and not soft. Phew.

He's not getting any bigger, is he? I think we can forget about any fantasies we might have had about him being a KPP. He's always going to be wiry - we just have to use him in roles where he can use his agility and awareness and avoid heavy traffic.

 

[Girthquake]

He's gotten slightly bigger from when he first joined us, im just glad we have found a role that suits him now, that andrew mackie role.
