    From gfc.com.au:

    Is 3 weeks a realistic goal for Egan? I would have thought it might be closer to 2 months before one could think about running and jumping after having 3 screws inserted into a navicular. Anyone had any experience with this type of injury?

    Not directly, but lessons need to be learnt from James Hird - he played too soon after a navicular stress # a few years ago, then it caused all sorts of problems...........culminating in bone grafts/surgery and more surgery, so he ended up needing more time off than he would have needed for the # to heal in the 1st place !!
    IMHO - Given the fact that there are enough Cats players to choose from, they are better off resting Egan and making sure that his foot totally heals and that he is ready for 2008. GO CATS!!
