Will Day (foot) - 3-4 months​

"He's had surgery, which was successful. Now, we'll start his rehab process which is going to be lengthy but we've got some confidence now that this will help him return to the field. We're hopeful that he will return back to playing towards the end of this season."
I would have preferred the word "confident", if I'm being totally honest...

Report is confusing for Calsh. At the start it talks about R7 return via AFL but then later goes on to say managed minutes in the VFL. 🤷‍♂️

Not ‘via’. Round 7 OF the AFL. The week we play West Coast I think? I think it suggests that’s the week we want to manage his minutes in the VFL.

I think it is as simple as the VFL is only up to round 4 whilst AFL is in round 6.

He is saying Calsher will be available from AFL rnd 7 however managed minutes so will return via VFL (presumably VFL rnd 5 against Port Melbourne). A full game against the Tigers in VFL round 6 and all going well back in the seniors for the Melbourne game to get a run before the Suns.

Then why not just say he's returning in round 4 or 5 of the VFL?

Because that's confusing to people who don't know where the VFL is up to. So to say, in Rd 7 he'll play VFL and move off the injury list. Similar to how Blank and Butler moved off the injury list in Rd 5. They are in full program and available for selection, but we are selecting them in VFL untill they build match fitness and form. Dear will be the same, but I doubt we'll wait for form, we will just gradually increase the minutes till he has enough under his belt and he'll come straight in.

Dear is slated to play down in Wonthaggi next week.
Another VFL game after that, and if all goes perfectly, should be back in the AFL side against Melbourne.
Will be interesting if they select him to travel up to Darwin on a 5 day break after his first game, I'd think they'll have a good hard look at that

He might come in round 11

Best news to come out of the weekend. We seem to be losing a player per match to either suspension or injury or both.
 
Good to see Dylan Moore isn't even worthy of mention re- his jaw. Hopefully he has a better crack this week.
 
Our fitness and medical team have done a stellar job for going on 5 years now.
Problem is it's always been injuries to players we can't afford to have out. You look at other clubs injury list which might be long and than you look at who they are it's generally a bunch of depth players who don't move the needle. Geelong have a bigger injury list than us but only Kolo Guthrie and Bruhn you would consider needle movers if at all. Day, Lewis and Dear all definitely change things.
 
It’s a pretty heathy looking list really (ex Day and Lewis). No injuries at all to our depth.

Yes, potentially only two players on the injury list after this weekend. We need to recruit an injury prone player with last name Daniel and go for the
Daniel Day-Lewis injury list.

Great actor , probably not a great AFL player. Unfortunately Geelong have the greatest injury actor of all time on their list - Mr Dangerfield.
