    Can you imagine how bored of "stationary ball work" AJ would be by now.

    But just think how good his handballing skills will be if and when he does ever make it back.

    Coming along nicely. When the legs catch up with the torso he'll be downright frightening.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    AJ is running!

    Couldn't find the AJ thread, so mods please merge...

    AJ is running on the AlterG - his first time running in two years! So excited by the prospect of his return in the future

    Good news, another step on the way to recovery. Lets hope this time it all goes well for the lad - would love nothing more than the chance to roar him back onto the field some day soon.

    Where does that put his expected full recovery? I have no idea how long these things take? Can he have a fairly normal preseason?

    I doubt anything will be "normal" for AJ in the next twelve months or so. I'd say he'd have some chance of playing football towards the middle/end of next season if all goes well from here, but probably just NEAFL level.

    I remember the roar that went up around the sparse crowd when Gazza first ran onto the ground for his first game back. If AJ gets to that point, I'd expect it will be even louder. Hopefully he gets to return during an SCG curtain raiser so lots of supporters can get along and cheer him.

    The search term to remember is "AJ Watch". Here it is.

    Technically, it should be like a traditional ACL rehab program, I'd expect. 9-12 months (closer to the full 12 months), although they'll likely be much more diligent with infection monitoring. Overall, a normally healing graft has a reasonably predicable pattern & timeframe, which is what allows a standardised rehab program. The advantage for AJ is that he has the best facilities for rehab and best resources for essentially constant monitoring and assessing, to detect and address problems early.

    Great news, really deserves for it to work this time, if not for footy, just for a normal life going forward.

    Everything crossed for AJ.
