Busslinger meant to be back to full training by mid-late January after his shoulder surgery this year.

Yes, he is a fair way off the mark.

Yes, he is a fair way off the mark.

We're not seeing him this year in the AFL unless a) he's in incredible form in the VFL or b) our injury list is dire.

He is a mile off with his running at the moment. Definitely a longer term prospect.

He's all of 65 kg as well he's definitely a long-term prospect.

Western Bulldogs


The club’s main concern for round one is midfielder Adam Treloar who has experienced pain in his operated ankle each time he attempts to increase his training volume. He has moved into more skill drills but needs things to go his way to start the season.

Tim English felt a tight adductor late in last week’s match simulation and was restricted to running laps this week. Bailey Smith (soreness) is back in full training. Caleb Daniel (back) and Ryan Gardner (elbow) and Alex Keath (ankle) have only minor issues.

Real worry Treloar.

Real worry Treloar.

Sounds like he needs time to get over it.

Dosh Junkley breakup? They can be difficult.

Real worry Treloar.

You just don’t like him.

He's a slow healer it's a worry I can see this stretching on, something isn't right. I guess if he does progress well he has a strong fitness base so should be able get up to speed quickly.

There are other players I like more this is true.

I don't dislike him, however a guy with his talent should be pushing for All Australian more often than he is. He gets paid in the elite bracket (not his fault) so I expect elite output.

He's been very good for us so no complaints, just not sure if he's completely bought in to the club. All pure speculation and personal opinion/discussion starter.

Paid in the elite? Isn't he like, $600k per year but on more currently due to back ending?
