Hopefully they get it right the first time. So many of our recurrent issues have been when they've deferred surgery and then rushed players back. At least Gus has time on his side to rehab from surgery, get it right and then get back to fitness.

And honestly it could be a blessing in disguise because  he's been slow and overweight for years now IMO.

Might be a chance to fully rebuild his body and mind.

If he returns with a frame like his younger brother he'll start playing better footy.

so you reckon he's fat like petracca, ds?

Too heavy. Whether it's fat or muscle only the club would know.

Petracca is an almost unique powerful player. Only him, Dusty and Danger can roll around as 90kg+ mids apart from the 190cm+ guys like Bont and Cripps of course.

Oliver is far leaner than he used to be. Gus isn't.

just a bit of fun, ds.    but you are probably right, he has looked a bit slower
