As President of the Otto Fan Club I am pleased to give you this update.....

Otto saw the surgeon yesterday. Everything is going to plan with his recovery. He is walking (doing a lot of walking). He hit the pool yesterday briefly - again just walking. Swimming commences in a couple of weeks. The Club will not be rushing Brad back. Although the Doctors are predicting a 10-12 week recovery. He will only resume when he is ready - his return will based on what is best for Otto long term not short term .

Also, on a couple of other players

Dutchy - the Club expect him to be back playing at Coburg in 2-3 weeks. The plan is for him to play 2-3 games at Coburg before being considered for the Seniors.

Dragga - will resume with Coburg this Saturday. He suffered a slight shoulder injury a couple of weeks ago- nothing serious - his knee and back are fine. The Club is taking an extremely cautious approach with Dragga. As it has been pointed out - Dragga has missed 2 years of footy and the slowly slowly approach is what is best for Dragga at this time
