Looks like a substantial bit of bone. Not nice to have in ones ankle and may explain his lack of mobility.

Hopefully, we need him and another key forward, firing for the rest of the year.

Well hopefully it helps. 

What’s the quickest turn around time for this? 4-6?

That Petty time frame is looking ominous. Foot injuries are the Melbourne curse!

McDoanld 6 to 8 Weeks 😱

Rough for Tom . Hopefully back to build some fitness and form 4-6 weeks out from finals. Could be required depending on injury and or form . He has been unlucky the past 2 years.

 

In other news clarry has an infected blister 

Injury and Suspension List: Round 13

Clayton Oliver - Hamstring | Test
Luke Dunstan - Knee | Test
James Harmes - Suspension | 1 Week
Jake Bowey - Concussion | 1 Week
Harry Petty - Foot | 1 - 2 Weeks
Will Verrall - Pelvis | 1 - 2 Weeks
Kye Turner - Groin | 3 - 4 Weeks
Tom McDonald - Foot | 6 - 8 Weeks

This Petty injury is dragging on. He’s always a slow healer. 
Hopefully back after the bye. 

Anyone know much about Will Ferrell? Are we expecting him to become a senior player at any stage or is he purely speculative?

The language around Petty doesn't sound fantastic. Is listed as 1-2 weeks but Selwyn stated they will have more clarity about what his return will look like after that time.

At the time the club reported it came down to how quickly  the ligament healed.  May be some lingering challenge there.  Always sound3d a bit uncertain

No rush.  Tomo is a handy back up in the short term.

Need to get this one right as Petty's critical to our chances at the pointy end.

Situation seems dire - he missed the club’s golf day today.

Petty back in 1-2 matches the timeline we heard when it happened. I’m not worried. Get him right and he makes us better.

Bad news for TMac, but BBB is on the runway awaiting take off.

Any news on Clarrie?  

@WalkingCivilWar 🙏❤️

Latest injury update. No mention of BBB and he's featured in the training gallery so presume he's good to play at some level this weekend. Good to see Verrall back into main training and possibly playing this week as well.

I would hate to be the coach that tells Clarry he isn’t ready to play Thursday

Oliver doesn't have a leg to stand on if he is told he can't play.  He disobeyed doctor's orders and left hospital impacting his recovery thereby disadvantaging the team. 

It is similar to breaking the rule of not drinking while injured for which players have incurred a suspension.  May comes to mind.

For that breach alone Oliver will be damn lucky if he doesn't get a club suspension or leadership group suspension.  He put himself before the team.

This is the hand Selwood kicked last year. 

So several things are ailing Oliver,
