Was watching Matthews in rehab today and the trainer was having him focus on short easy sprints but with high knees and a "snap" to the motion. Hard to explain and quite specific, I imagine, as to the area they were working on. Aside for that, some limited running, then later some gentle shots for goal. My guess would be he's still a fair way off full running, let alone rejoining the main group.

Perhaps one of the Demonland physio experts can explain what he's working through..?

We're all looking forward to seeing him Roma the forward line.

...while the opposition plays ketchup..

In Heinz-sight this may be a very good pick.

Let's not go the early White Crow.

...just in case he doesn't make it and he has to be - in the modern commercial vernacular - sundried...

After read the last 10 posts here it is obvious there is no action to think about.

Yep, it's the cherry on top.

Matthews looks great. Just gotta truss the process.

Was just thinking "Jeez that Timothy Reddan-A'Blew has no sense of humour, bringing MFCSS into this otherwise very positive thread..." and then I woke up. T-RAB crushed it.

Laterally

Tommy Mathews gives off good vibes.

Paste to look closely, G?

Tommy was having a bit of fun on Monday. He was getting to kick the footy, and do an activity that involved taking the ball and handpassing it on whilst being harassed (or being the harasser). One person stood in front and tried to take the ball whilst someone standing right behind them hit and grabbed at their arms. He looked pretty happy to be doing something other than running.

That was a fair leap for a little guy 👏

could be our wizardTM* ?

trademarked by Jeff Farmer fans of course.

Poor kid 😂

massive hanger and not coming down with the ball reminds me of Kossie. Great to watch though

Our forward line will be fun to watch in the years to come.
