Shackleton Back!

[Commodore]

Any one heard the rumour that Shackleton is recovering so well may be back late this season??? And definately for the playoffs!:shock:

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Yeah there was an Eels Reel video with Shack and KK and Guru, about their injuries and Shack is hopeful his program holds up and he can get back for late in the year.

 

[Gronk]

This mornings paper says semis, maybe.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Sorry, but its hardly news...

 

[Eels Dude]

It's been said countless times he's recovering a lot quicker than expected, but yeah hardly news.

 

[ParraMatt]

before the semis is news to me. very excited.. good on Shane.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Doesn't matter if he his fit by the semi's anyway, he would be no chance of getting into the team,no way in hell you would rush a guy with a broken body back into semi final football over players who helped you get there.


Good luck with the recovery Shane but you won't be playing this season no matter what.

I wouldn't say no matter what we have a long way to go and players can can get injured in the back end of the season. He might be able to force his way in.

Any how it's good news his recovering and I can't wait for him to be back in the blue and gold

Does anyone know if players come back from an injury like this? I mean, do they retain the same speed and strengh in their legs? Are they prone to having recurrences of the injury? Etc. It was a pretty bad injury wasn`t it?

Mateo came back into the side last year during our run.

 

[strider]

I hope he'd back to help us beat the Celtics in the playoffs

 

[The EELiminator]

can someone change the thread title please? it just raises false hope

 

[Eels Dude]

Mateo came back into the side last year during our run.

Yeah but he also spent 3 or 4 weeks in reserve grade prior to that to get some match fitness back.

did he really?

 

[Fui!!!]

Luke O'Donnell came back pretty good. And his was worse.

 

[eels bloke]

did he really?

:lolerhaps, at least three !

 

[Eels Dude]

did he really?

If i'm wrong I stand corrected, but either way there was definately unrest between him and DA at the time because he was ready to make his comeback from injury a few weeks prior to his first grade return, as DA didn't think he was ready after a lengthy lay off. KK was treated the same. He was one of our top 17 from round 1 last year, and stayed there until he was injured. Made his comeback from injury playing against Wenty but ended up hurting himself again unfortunately and didn't play again last year.

 

[Stagger eel]

I know KK made his way back through Wenty and that was while Robo and Morts were playing great football but I don't think Feleti played for Wenty at all..

as for the unrest, I think it was more media talk than anything else but that's not to say that he wasn't happy about coming of the bench, however it appears that the tonic was working, Lowrie was playing good football and we made the gf..

I thought Mateo's return was delayed so he would be classed as long term injured & we got a salary cap discount.

Gee if we make the semis and Shane makes a comeback, what a great player to be able to call up if we have a injury. Always good to have all hands on deck for september. The games are bloody hard and injuries alway happen !!!!
