Anyone had this injury before that can shed some light on it?

Marrone ruptured his in Adelaide's GF win and he is still 3 months away... and given our off season is nearly a decade long, that makes it 6-8 years or something.

people I know that have done their achillies recently were in a moon boot for 12 weeks let alone full recovery

nah.
but I've consulted with some of the best in the field of injury management.
take for example resident expert Dr M Bridges.
bloke knows his stuff, he says 6-8 weeks. ill take his word for it.
he is rarely inaccurate on these matters.

Do we know the full extent of the injury yet?
A rupture would be a fairly quick diagnosis so I'm assuming it's not that, luckily as that is a season finisher.
Grade II tear maybe? 8 weeks before full team duties is probably a good prognosis if so.

Jones said he's gone for the season

Poor bugger

Great news for us is we have a fair bit of coin left in the cap to spend on BK's injury replacement now.

Covic pls.

If all the rumours about BK's exorbitant cap space are true, we might as well spend up big and get Neuer in on loan.

I've strained mine before, was ****ing ages before it was 100%. Would tweak everytime you try to push off, was only ok for jogging. Not an injury a keeper wants.

Past it, but probably an improvement on JD.

What about that lanky keeper from Brisbane Strikers? Or has he already been snapped up?

Yeah, better than JD. And cheap.

Shames he's not Chinese, or he'd tick all the boxes.

He was there with other reps from the 08/09 squad as guests of honour for the match. Adam Griffiths, Stuie, Jobe, Thommo all there too - but I think Thommo was working for Fox.

Think I saw Tarek, BK and Holland there too. Noted Reegz in attendance - his Adelaide deal is done.

mullen gone 6-8 best case scenario

So 3 injuries in 7 days to calves/achilles. What have we been doing at training to stress these areas so much?

It's all Trani's fault.

I heard he was pretty bad at Traning the lads.

Seems Covic is virtually a done deal but NNSW's premier keeper of the last 4 years Danny Ireland should definitely at least be considered if the Covic deal does not eventuate?
