That’s great news. Even fit for round 2 I would have been happy.

Very good news.

Josh Kennedy looks like he’s back in form, and May did well on him last year.

No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think May's injury history was relatively sound prior to last year.

Looking at his stats, he consistently played 17-19 games a season, so to me that supports his general robustness.  Also need to consider that a few of the missed games were probably through suspension.

Sounds like 2019 was a combination of poor preparation and not doing everything in high intensity at GC. He’s done the work this year and it sets him up for a big 2020.

Also shows how important a really good pre Xmas training block is. That base means a small, albeit frustrating interruption, doesn't become something bigger.

Which makes me begrudgingly admire teams like Richmond who win flags and front up the next year in really good knick for another shot.

Agree. I think the ability to do so is one reason experience (age and games played) is such an important factor.
