Jake missed this past weekend’s VFL game with a back spasm and also has some low grade groin symptoms. Our focus is that Jake is set up to have a consistent second half of the season, so we will continue to manage his training loads over the next one to three weeks, before he can make a return to play.

Cillian arrived at the Club last year with a pre-existing and known cartilage injury in his left knee. We are taking a conservative and long-term approach to ensuring his body is ready to withstand the rigours of AFL football. He is a chance to feature in the second half of the season.

In positive news, Jacob has recovered from a hamstring injury. As a young and developing tall prospect in his first season, Jacob will complete an extensive conditioning block as he continues to prepare his body for the rigours of AFL football. We will have an update on his return to play timeline as he progresses.
