Lalor going in for surgery this week.

-------------------------------

“We consulted a few surgeons for Sammy’s case, and there is a fairly strong consensus that surgery was required for him,” Serpell said.

“After three injuries to the same side over the last 12 months, it was clear that it was unlikely that hamstring was going to heal in that spot.

“He will undergo surgery this week and will look forward to hopefully having a quick recovery and get most of pre-season done.”

FJ, I'm presuming that "you" is directed at Serpell as I have no contact with Lalor's surgeons :nope.

Yes OE Serpell not you  :lol

Why isn't there a compete review of our system? Does Yze not value his job ,or is he as I suspect too soft?

Our 2 top picks have lost a year of development which for us means a year away from success.

You fail to mention that both had history of the same injuries prior coming to us. Just to blame the fitness and conditioning is wrong.

Hmm

They did a full review last year, got rid of the bloke which you amd others demanded. You do remember that?

Bought in new bloke who has set up a completely different program than the last 2 seasons. Was always going to take a full preseason and season for the entire the list to adjust.

You are aware that part of development of young players is getting their bodies used to an AFL program not just for their 1st season but for the long term?

review my arse.

The magic man left the club. What a great review that was that we couldnt even give him the arse.

I have zero confidence in anything they are doing off the field lately. The JD stand fiasco being another one.
