He's recovered really well from that low-grade calf [injury]. He completed a match volume session on the weekend. He'll look to train fully tomorrow and then return through the VFL on some modified minutes to allow him to be AFL ready for the back end of the season.
Max trained really well last week and had another great session over the weekend, he's been an absolute professional in his recovery. He'll look to integrate into full training tomorrow and then we'll make an assessment on his availability following training tomorrow.
Jed had an incident in the VFL game where he had a high impact to the sternum and chest and had some pain from that. He went to hospital and fortunately was cleared of any severe damage but does have some internal bruising that will require him to have a week off contact. And then we'll progress him back into contact as his symptoms allow.
Koltyn had a head knock in the game. He passed the initial SCAT (sport concussion assessment tool) and was cleared of anything there. Following us returning to Melbourne, he had some delayed symptoms with headaches and altered vision and has now entered the concussion protocol. So, he'll progress through that as symptoms settle.
Christian came to the bench after feeling his hamstring cramp in the third period after accelerating. He wasn't able to return to the field due to a loss of strength. Scans have shown that he does have a low-grade hamstring strain, so he'll miss this week and we’ll continue to progress him through hamstring reconditioning protocols.
He's really struggled this year with his Achilles and we tried multiple things to get it right. It's come to a point where surgery is the best option that's left for us. We’ve missed him a lot. He’s a really important person to us around the footy club. He provides the team with a certain skill set that we certainly miss.
Petracca will be unable to return to contact training for a minimum of 12 weeks, meaning the Demons midfielder will only be eligible to return to training during the AFL finals series.
