What was the surgery? Was it just a clean out? Will he be back to fitness in 3-5 weeks, you would assume they would want him back against Geelong, which will be the first week of DT finals.

Hold or Trade......

Surgery was an arthroscopy, which is keyhole surgery. Basically it's just a clean out and he will be fine. Should be running this week, so wont be losing any fitness

Cool, thanks for the info CrowsFan, gives me a bit more faith in holding onto him.  I could see him out for 4, then they bring him back for Geelong.  Got Shaw and Darley to cover for him; as long as Sheedy doesn't keep screwing with Darley.

May have to trade him out if Darley doesn't play!

I had a pretty major arthroscopy a few years back, where they basically chopped out 1/3 of my cartilage.  It hurts substantially more than you're told it will, because even though the cartilage doesn't have nerves, they have to chop through muscle to get to it lol. I don't think he'll be running this week, but should be by next week.

main reason i didnt get him  - INJURY PRONE , ok its one trade but will hurt those who only have 2 or 3 left

I guess thats the issue with trading in injury prone mid pricers.  Better to start with them or forget about them altogether, because it could be potentially 2 trades instead 1.

From what I read it was only minor. I've had 2 arthroscopies before, once on my knee and once on my ankle. Guess it just depends on exactly what they did. May not have even removed anything from his knee the could have just been checking it out...
