Forward Jarrad Grant will miss the start of the 2014 AFL Premiership Season after sustaining a foot fracture at training on Friday.

Medical Services Manager Andrew McKenzie said scans revealed a fracture to Grant’s foot, which required surgery to stabilise the area.

“Jarrad got landed on in a tackle on Friday, and subsequently sustained a fracture to his left foot, which scans later confirmed,” McKenzie said.

“Jarrad underwent surgery yesterday and is expected to remain in a boot for the next six weeks.

“He will have a review with the surgeon to determine when he will return to play after that time.”

General Manager of Football Graham Lowe said Grant was positive despite the injury and has turned his attention to a swift recovery.

“Jarrad is in relatively good spirits, and is now looking forward to diligently rehabilitating his injury,” Lowe said.

“It’s an unfortunate occurrence, but we’re confident Jarrad will bounce back from this set-back.”

Grant has played 58 games for the Bulldogs since being drafted in 2007.


It's a shame this has happened after it seemed to click for Jarrad at the end of last season. Hopefully he can comeback in the same sort of form. At least it wasn't Williams or Higgins foot for a change I guess!

I'd like to see Jarrad spend his time in the gym, and every second outside of that with Macca. Great silver lining to have him spend 100 hours learning, understanding and emersing himself in what is being taught and why, and how, should be a valuable learning experience for any player.

That's too bad, he finished last season pretty good. I agree BT, send him straight to the gym while his foot heals.

F***

The mid size illuminati falls at the first hurdle. Without Grant to play straight man Stringer's arrogance and Richard Sherman-esque post game interviews will come off far too dickish.

Get well soon Jarrad.

Crap news . The only positive is he won't miss much footy.

Crappy news.. Is one player who needs to hit the ground running in 2014.

Hopefully he has a seemless recovery and is back before we know it.

He was very effective in the forward line for us when he came in last year. It's a setback for him and us. He must be frustrated. Hoping for a good recovery and before you know it he'll be back.

Seriously bad news. I'm no expert but that would seem to mean he might as well have not done a preseason and that the whole season is close to a write off. So bad considering that he had come back from the dead to show his special talents and that he could perform at the highest level.
Harden your steel on the anvil of life Jarrad and come back forged like the sword of Cuchulainn.
