Just looked up any club at random, it appears Geelong have 7 on restricted training programs, and I'm unsure how many out altogether. We have 8 blokes in the rehab group, most of which are just for recovering from routine post season ops. Just take a chill pill, every club does it and is in the same boat. It didn't affect blokes like Deledio as Cotchin last time and it won't this time. And sometimes you can't get a player into a clean out style op the week immediately after playing. Off the top of my head I think hips are fine, but things like knees can develop inflammation under the knee cap, and if you've ever had an operation before to fix an injury then you will know that surgeons don't like working around inflammation.
