Mills out for the rest of the season with a broken foot??
-

Just read on the swans app that Melican has injured his other hamstring and will be another 2 weeks!
Mills had successful surgery on his foot.
Alex Johnson will be playing in the NEAFL which is excellent news.
And in even better news Reid will be joining the main training group this week. Harley said he will be aiming to play after the bye. So no more 6-8 weeks!Comment

Toby Pink not mentioned but off the AFL injury list.

Any mention of Dawson?
Major bummer about Melican. Good for Marsh and, potentially, Aliir except he can?t seem to get his act together at the moment. Also Maibaum although I haven?t yet had the sense he?s on the cusp of senior selection. He hasn?t been mentioned especially in dispatches and nor has he been featured among the ?bests? in the NEAFL in the past couple of weeks.All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

Watched Harley?s injury video and heard that Mills has broken his 5th metatarsal. ?Oh? I thought, ?that?s good, doesn?t sound too bad?.
Then I read this article about the long, complicated recovery of Manuel Neuer of the German national soccer team as he attempts to be fit for the World Cup in Russia. ??
By the way, from the photo of Mills? foot on his Instagram site, he?s broken his right foot (unless the doctor transplanted his big toe during the surgery ????).Comment

Interesting article in The Age by Chris Judd on where Dan Hannebery is:
This makes sense to me, and I'm inclined to agree that Hanners has come back too soon and needs further rest and/or treatment. I believe there is still good football in him but he needs to adjust the way he goes about it. I hope the medical staff can do more with him because he looks as if he needs it. A properly healed and refreshed Hannebery still has a lot to offer.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

You would think Swans medical staff are across all his issues. Judd may be right but I'm prepared to give him a few more weeks to come back to his best. He was reasonable against Brisbane and had a tag v Blues. Would be a big bonus if it happened.Comment

This.
Judd's comments are well-intentioned but the Swans medical staff are closer to the issue and must be better informed about what Hanners needs. Longmire made comments at the start of the season that the club was more interested in doing what was right for Hanners in the long term than rushing him back into the side so I think it's reasonable to deduce they think he's physically OK to play.Comment

Judd more often than not talks a lot of sense when he writes articles like this. It will certainly be a case of managing Hanners across the rest of his career and ensuring we can get the best out of him. Judd should be a good source of wisdom in this space, given the challenges with fitness he faced in the latter part of his career.Interesting article in The Age by Chris Judd on where Dan Hannebery is:

). First Rampe broken arm then Mills broken foot.
