Other than his splenic injury he would (if uncomplicated) be back in a week or three. On 08/07/2024 at 13:48, Proud Demon said: If it’s not a complicated case would usually go home after an overnight stay. Most of my patients aren’t elite athletes but for someone who is fit could usually play in a week or two. Obviously not a problem for Trac and they might be more cautious with things like antibiotics for longer given his spleen. ✔️

Does anyone know if this actually happened? Well, no one seems to verify that Tracc did resume light running. WCW, maybe you can answer this one?

It was reported in the media (The Age) last week. He's starting light running which he's very excited about. When asked will he be back for the later finals if Melbourne were in it he said he's strictly no contact for 3 - 4 months. (Which I took as meaning if we're in the GF he'll play out of the square and kick 6) 1 5

doc roet 1,302 Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 Speaking about that [censored], it's going to be an interesting watch V Carlton to see if the thug comes out primed for their do or die game. Hope he gets cleaned up by Harry.

It is what i think every pre-season - so am sure its not that bad. I thought it would have been harder to keep the weight off without the exercise. Those with Mediterranean upbringings will know what i mean. Mum and Nonna would have been having daily bake-offs to ensure whatever Trac had lost weight wise would be put back on with a bit extra. 1

It is, which is why anyone delusional enough to think he could play again this year needs to put those thoughts to bed. He is listed as “indefinite” for a very good reason. There are no guarantees of when he will return to AFL. 2

True, but getting the muscle back is what is going to take months.

I worry he will be coming back from a poor base preseason, although muscle memory kicks in very quickly for sports ppl. Totes agree. It will be the mental/emotional demons he will battle. He was a beast on field prior.
