Welcome to Tigerland Liam Fawcett -: pick 43 2023

Hopefully just a mild case.
Only treatment is complete rest.
In a worse case scenario glandular fever can be completely debilitating and last months.

Yeah like Will Phillips, he contracted it twice after covid. pretty much ruined his entire season, they wrote his season off by June.
Hopefully a quiet summer of rest and recovery, then if he's feeling healthy he can have a gradual build up / late pre season and play some VFL games next year for development purposes. Last thing anyone wants is to try n push through to early n it sits him on his arse for a year or more.
Draftee Liam Fawcett has returned home to Adelaide while he recovers from Glandular Fever.
Get well, Liam. We will see you back at Tigerland soon

What a bummer for the kid and for us as well, depending on how bad it is.
He gets what he has dreamed about and 3-4 days later is back home again. Feel for him.

Ugh. You can write off his 2024 right now.
Horrible disease than can keep you lethargic for a very long time.

Can we put him on the long term injury list, and take both players that are training?
Yeah, it's at least a six-week recovery for the illness that gets him back at best, mid-January.
Then he has to get the energy back. Will be amazed if he does a month of training before round 1.
Off to an unfortunate start but this is a 4 year project so no need to panic, hopefully back on the track early next year.
No such thing as a good time especially for a kid starting out. If there was one it's probably now?
First year is the most important but it's not a total write-off, if it was a knee I'd be worried, I think he'll see some footy this year and that's the most important thing. Glandular can be debilitating - just ask Anthony Banik, but if there's lessons to be learnt from that episode it's ensuring rehab isn't backloaded to make up for lost time. Slow and steady from here, I'm sure Liam will be fine after a decent rest.
