Jack fit to play against the Crows???

Turns 24 today! Happy birthday Kieren.

Footnote to the "pegs on the field" story in the SMH quotes Longmire as saying Jack is a "small chance" for Adelaide, sounds more hopeful about Gold Coast.

Guess the medical staff will know better through the week but right now, would not count on his presence in Adelaide.

Longmire and I will leave it to Nathan and his team.

They're saying the nature of the injury is a knock or twist can feel like the initial injury but without new damage. So if this is true it's entirely possible there wasn't actually a setback to his recovery.

Still not sure about risking him, but if he's fit and not sore, then sure, why not.

I agree. Ice it up a bit more, let the muscles strengthen.
We should be able to beat the crows without him. And maybe the Suns game the following week.

Bring him back for Freo at the SCG.

He hasn't been playing that much footy lately, perhaps two weeks would hurt him more then what it would fix.

Reports in this morning's media that KJ might be "fit" to play this Saturday night. They're bloody mad if they rush him back into the team so quickly - he's only just recovered from the initial injury. Give him time to completely recover, FGS.
