Missing 2 full seasons (bar round 1) last season is insane. That’s much more than being conservative. Unless he has had another setback and if that’s the case they really should be stating that in these reports.

Absolute disgrace what was happened to him if this is another year gone. A combination of having a weaker body than most, and the club letting him down.

i remember magic meehan was defended by quite a few on here, which at the time was lauaghbale and even more so now.

this bloke isnt off to a good start either, but il judge him in the fullness of time at the end of next year.

Not sure how you've come to that conclusion TBH

Like Hotton, reckon we will see him 2nd half of the season

But tell you what; I have a Player Sponsor function in a fortnights time, I'll ask him

I’ll tell you how.
Because the club and their TBC  knee updates have been a disgrace all year. Which leads to us making our own conclusions.

Young and Mykelti have just been “upgraded” to 6-9 weeks.

Fair to assume he is behind them and therefore best case of 10 weeks plus.

So even if he is a best case 10 weeks, few weeks VFL, season as good as over.

I really hope he is not out for the year. He has had a horrible run with injuries. Given the time that has elapsed since the injury occurred it is concerning that a time estimate cannot be provided as to when he can return to playing football. It would be good if the club gave a comprehensive account of what has occurred.

I thought exactly the same thing. Not sure how you could come to any other conclusion. He might get a small handful of games right at the end

While I get whacked by some on here (not you elim) and accused of being an apologist for the Club I think with the Gibcus situation they have explained what has occurred and what they are doing and as importantly why they are taking the approach they have.

If you go back to the 1st TT podcast when they spoke to Serpell he explained it. Knee reco, and a secondary follow up knee clean up and a serious hamstring tendon injury over the space of less than 2 years.. basically rehabbing 2 serious injuries together. As I said he explained it all in the podcast and made it clear no time line on his return because they want to get him on the park and have him stay there, not get repeat injuries

What would people prefer? What we had last year where got told 8-10 weeks that got repeated for 15 weeks or what we are getting now?

Clearly they can't win here

[eliminator]

Thank you for that. That makes it much clearer. I really hope he has some luck now and an end to these shocking injuries.

Your talking bs what did you expect him to be playing now there taking a caution simple as that. Serpell has handled it well.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I am not blaming anyone for the situation that Gibcus finds himself in. I don’t think anyone is an apologist for Richmond or the strength and conditioning department.
What I am saying is that TBC for 5 players returning from a reco is absolute BS after they have all pretty much had a year out.
It’s a-ok to say 12-16 weeks and then refine it as the weeks play out.
Until March 31, they were all “TBC” which is total BS. They aren’t all TBC, probably one, possibly two are TBC.
Smells of “under promise, over deliver” but it’s really just poor communication and a lack of care to keep supporters up to date.
Never been this bad.

Mykelti looks to be training pretty hard
