There were no injuries following last Thursday’s clash against Brisbane at the Gabba.
It’s a big week for Nathan Krueger, who is a chance to be available for the forthcoming weekend, providing he gets through all training sessions this week.
Under the 12-day protocol, Will Kelly missed last weekend’s VFL match against Brisbane with concussion. He is participating in non-contract training at the moment, with the intention to move into contact training later in the week. He will need to be assessed prior to the weekend.
Developing ruckman Aiden Begg underwent medical interventions on his back injury that has assisted his progress. He has started conditioning work and is starting to feel much better. Begg will work to build up his running loads and is expected to return in Rounds Six or Seven.
Young midfielder Arlo Draper has made some progress in his return from a concussion he experienced late in the preseason. The Club is working closely with Arlo to ensure that his long-term health is at the forefront of his rehabilitation process. He will be taking part in non-contact training this week.
Mason Cox is still on complete rest with a spleen injury. The Club will be able to provide a further update next week following a follow-up review.
Darcy Cameron is still walking around in a brace after injuring his MCL in our Round Three win against Richmond. The Club is hopeful he will be able to remove some of the restrictions of that brace and commence gym work later in the week.
After returning to the Club for the first time earlier this week, Jeremy Howe has some follow up reviews later in the week to make sure his infection is all clear. The signs are really positive at the moment, with his bone is healing well. Once his stitches are removed and his cleared for activity, he’ll be able to increase his lower body work. He is currently working with the therapist focusing on hand strength and rehab in his forearm area.
Patrick Lipinski is now back running and will continue to be in non-contact conditioning training for the next month or so before he can get back into full training.
Charlie Dean is progressing well, walking around pain-free and without crutches. He's entered a period of his rehab where he's working on the strength through his foot.
