Hamstring Strain(MTMJ)

Timeline

1. 29 Aug

   Occurred

   Hamstring injury carried as TBC on the AFL Medical Room finals-week list and the Zero Hanger index. He played the VFL qualifying final on 29 August, so the onset is anchored to that game — the earliest point the record can be positively asserted.

   2 fixtures missed
2. 7 Sept

   Progress update

   Reassessment

   Sydney have a preliminary-final bye, so their next fixture is the preliminary final rather than semi-final weekend. Ned Bowman (Hamstring): TBC.

   Return revised: 12 Sept → 19 Sept

   Reassessment

4. 20 Sept

   Setback

   Team played the preliminary final without the player — absent from the named 23 and the emergencies.

5. 20 Sept

   Progress update

   The club's 2026 season is over and no fixture remains, so the lapsed return forecast is retired to the 2027 pre-season; the next possible return is pre-season training.

   Return revised: 19 Sept → 1 Mar
