Just heard Williams injury is not Achilles but a calf tear.

Should return in second half of season before finals.

They said similar after the game.

That can be a sign of an achillies issue though.
Its kinda like a 'back related hamstring'. Hamstring feels sore, but its the back that is causing it.

There was another very good example of that in our game, one of the GWS players went down holding his left hammy after he got a knee in the back from Doc during a marking attempt. That will be a nerve related back/hammy issue.

There goes the old sciatica again, just from talking about it! :o

Yeah I've heard similar, calf tear and no tendon surgery required, let's hope it is true.

Williams has his detractors, but I think he has been good this season, especially if he gets judged relative to peers rather than expectations.

He's quick, tough and uses it well generally (I think he is still one of the best kicks of the footy in our team) and before we get the detractors shouting blue murder, if the others bit off what he did more regularly they too would look crap.

Zac W high grade calf strain just confirmed. Set to miss 10 - 12 weeks. Not great but not as bad as first feared.

Yes, it could have been much worse!

Is that the calf that was kicked in the previous game?

He could be having a run in the reserves in early August and be cherry ripe for a finals campaign  Smile
