Round 6 is probably a half game in the Coburg 2's. Loooooooooong way off. It's Conca time.
yeah does look a long way off at this stage with that bad limp he has. poor bloke, hope we get to see him again
Tigers teammate Brett Deledio said that despite not having trained with the main group during the pre-season, Foley is confident of an early return in 2013.
"He’s telling me that he’d be right to play very soon. I think it’s Round 2 or 3 that he’s pushing for," Deledio told SEN.

given our midfield at the moment, which is starting to come along Ok, we should let Foley take his time - there is no reason to rush at all.
Though he's an important player when fit, anything Axel gives us this year will be a bonus. We can't rely on him.

The best thing about him is that the one thing that we can rely on is his determination to make it back.
Hope to see you back soon Axel.
Good luck to him. Really like him as a player when he's at his best. I have serious doubts about him being able to get back to that - but seriously, what the hell would I know.
Will be a great story if he can break back in and contribute. I hope they are going to let him have an actual pre-season before rushing him back in and perhaps risking him struggling later in the year.

The little Nugget was in pretty good touch last year before he went down; I see no reason he won't come back in good form again. A class player, has been for years. Just hope he gets a good run at it as he and we deserve it. If he gets and stays fit for a few years our midfield will take all before it.
I view Foley like I viewed Cogs in his later years. We need to plan the team and it's structure without him. If he comes back and manages to force his way back into the midfield, then it needs to be considered a bonus. If he doesn't then c'est la vie.
Massive bonus if we get him back firing come midseason, imho id be setting him for round 8 an a good month of footy at the Burgers before hand....Surley his not the difference between finals an not
