DD, why do you say 10 weeks for Smith? The club website says 6 weeks, as at 14 April. We also have Fisher due back hopefully in 3 weeks, so that should be around 8 May.

Club website has Josh Smith listed as 10 weeks away, Fraser McInness 8 and Andrew Fisher 4.

Thanks, DD. Good news re McInnes, bad news re Smith, but McInnes is the more important player. On that timeline, McInnes may be available with 9 games to go. We benefit from having 2 byes, 15 May and 12 June. Smith could be back with 7 games to go. I imagine McInnes would come straight back into the league team. Fisher and Smith may have a run in the reserves.
