Has Petty even done a pre-season?

Did he do a pre-season in the premiership year? Tommo was our second tall that year from the beginning and then did his knee opening the door for Petty, I just can't recall if he was a factor in the pre-season.

Could be back Round 8 (Geelong) or Round 9 (Carlton)

That is one of the better footy photos I have ever seen.

Sometimes you don’t need spectacular marks or big hits being caught at just the right moment, to show what this game of AFL is about. A photo that captures not just the moment, but captures the emotion of that moment, can be far more effective.
 

The look of concern in May’s eyes sent a shiver up and down my spine and almost brought a tear to my eye. It’s the photographic equivalent to a medieval painting by the likes of Michelangelo. It’s a rare gem! (settle down Tim, settle down!)

Whilst this is great news, id still be tempted to give him managed minutes in the VFL.

In a perfect world we do play him and be 60 points up halfway through the 3rd v the Hawks and we could sub him off.

Bowser is one tough player.

Milkshake looking at round 16-18 at this rate. 

I was a bit concerned about Chol's knee after it got smashed by May's ribcage and Van Rooyen's head in the same game. Have seen no media or AGL  reports as to whether he has pulled up ok.

Cross everything you have 

Real shame Disco is injured as well, this would've been the perfect chance for him to step in.

Always seems to be the case ☹️

Talk about backline injuries. 

Last year our fwd line was decimated.

Now we have four quality defenders possibly injured in Disco, Bowey, May and Lever.

Just reported on Kayo/Fox during WCE/GWS half time that May has 2 or 3 broken ribs and a possible vertebrae fracture - saying he'll miss Port and maybe Adelaide games.

How the actual [censored] does one have multiple broken ribs and maybe a broken vertebrae and only miss up to two games? 😳

If that was me I’d be out for 10-15 years.

If that's right I'd be thinking 4-6 weeks and possibly post mid season bye

Just reported May has 3 broken ribs plus a cracked vertebrae. 

They suspect he'll miss both Adelaide games plus more.

I'd be in a coffin.

No way he only misses 2 games with that diagnosis.
