Saw Shaggy at Wesley College today, hobbling around on a crutch.

You sure he was not scratching his crutch?

Haha...he may have been doing that too.

Missy Higgins has been on restricted training due to back spasms since before the 5 day break. Precautionary more than anything, so said Rocket yesterday.

Hargrave - foot surgery - expected to return round 7

Lake - post-season surgery on his hip, knee and shoulder - Could return next week for Willi

Daniel Giansiracusa (ankle) and Lindsay Gilbee (hamstring), who sustained minor injuries, but are expected to face the Bombers.

Patrick Veszpremi and Justin Sherman - could also return against Willi

Anyone think he's likely for Round 1?

Getting him to play for Willy suggests he is only match fitness away now, but it may take a few weeks before he is ready. I'll say no.

Round 3 or 4 has been the consistent message for Lake to play. Anything earlier would be a bonus.

My first thought when I saw the title of this thread was....."hope this thread never has many posts during the season!". Still hoping.....

I think if he is plays this week for Willi, he will play round 1. I can't see him playing a couple of games for Willi

I can't see the coaching staff risking him either. If it takes until Round 4, they'll wait. He's our most important player.

I agree. Will be surprised if he plays more than one game for Willi.

[always right]

He's not even a definite starter for this week's Willi game. No chance for round one and I'd be putting money on him being nursed until after our first bye.

Just FYI..Round 4 is a bye..
