    No chance even if LARS i think. From where his fitness base is coming from.

      I doubt AJ would come straight back into the seniors if he was ready.
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

        Isn't that how he did it in 2011? Straight into the team, after one preseason, from game three?

          ... did he have three knee reconstructions at that time?

            So that means Alex has played 49 games so far?

                It's going to be hard for him... especially if the backs turn into dead-set guns next year.

                  Anyone have more news about AJ's setback? Seems things have gone very quite on that topic after the initial news.

                    According to the photo in the following link he is still training. Fingers crossed for him.

                        Injury news:

                        McVeigh up and running - sydneyswans.com.au

                        includes a brief statement on AJ:

                        And finally, Alex Johnson is currently seeking medical advice to determine the next best course of action in his ongoing recovery from a knee reconstruction.
                        Sydney Swans Media will provide an update on Johnson?s status when more information comes to light.
                        I'd speculate (and that's all it is) that he's been advised by some to give it up and is looking for specialists who are willing to persist.

                          I've been lurking here for a while, but didn't want to post until now.
                          I received a member e-news yesterday, with the main article being a link to "Join us at #Swansintra". The photo shows, from the right, Rampe, Luke Parker hanging on to Hanners' guernsey, Reg in the ruck, and, in blue stripes, no. 2 with his back to the camera. Swans website shows AJ now wears Shaw's old number, 2. Every other player in the video seems to be wearing the correct number.
                          So, it that AJ playing? I watched the video but I couldn't tell. Perhaps someone with keener eyes than mine could help.
                          I'm excited. I hope it's him because he's a gun.

                            Hi Crusty.
                            +1 for your first post!!

                            I've just watched the Video and at the 0:52 mark out can see a bloke in blue stripes in #2.
                            I pretty sure it's not AJ. Looks too short to start with and no bandaging/taping around the knee.
                            Looks more like Cunningham, but I can't be too sure.

                            I also doubt AJ would be playing at this level just yet.

                            PS: I just noticed - 23,001 posts for me. Long way to go to catch up. LOL.

                              Yes it does look a bit like Cunningham.
                              No offence, but I hope you're wrong, and that this is part of Horse's very cunning plan.

                                I'm at least 99% sure that's Cunningham.
