Hey, does anyone know anything about Matt Egan (Geelong) and when he is going to return from injury?

Question

Just in case yu were wondering he was the Geelong full back who was selected in the All Australian team in 2007. Unfortunately he succumbed to injury i think it was in the finals series last year and was placed on the long term injury list. But I cannot really specifically find when he is coming back. Some people were saying round seven however he didnt play last round. I wanted to know because I have him in my AFL dream team as an emergency but if hes not comin back soon im gonna trade him.

Answer 1

Egan was on the radio over the weekend and said it would be about 6-8 weeks away. he said he has been training lightly and swimming and said that he is really fit and looking forward to a return. Cant wait for him and Ottens to return  At least he will be nice and fresh for the finals.

Answer 2

Nah.  But he's the missing link at the moment.  Our defence is not so hot at the moment.  We need him back for Hawthorn to be able to rotate defenders on Buddy.

From experience, foot injuries are bad if you come back too early.  You put so much strain on your feet in games.  I'd sooner lose to Hawthorn (and we will without him) and have him back when it's a dead cert OK.

Answer 3

yea i still dont have a clue who he is sorry.

Answer 4

Nope.

Don't know. Don't care.

Answer 5

Yeah, he got drunk celebrating one of last year's finals wins - he stood in a gopher hole, in the main street & did his ankle in.

Answer 6

id trade him because it will be a while

why would the cats rush him back?

theyre 7-0 and harry taylor is doing a great job.

its the same with ottens

mark blake and trent west / shane mumford are doing fine
