NEWS: Didak has completely torn his adductor muscle against Melbourne in Round 11. The good news is, he will not require surgery. Collingwood's director of football Geoff Walsh said "Alan previously had a partial tear that was a consequence of the injury he suffered in the pre-season. With the muscle being completely torn away it will allow a full attachment to take place that will not require surgery. The advice is that the healing and rehabilitation process will not keep Alan sidelined for as long as he was in the pre-season. It's very much a short to medium term injury." | ||||

NEWS: Didak could be a showing to debut in season 2012 for the Collingwood Magpies this weekend. They have held him back in the VFL for the past few weeks as Didak attempts to bring his fitness up and also get some confidence. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Director of football Geoff Walsh said "Alan should be available. He pulled up pretty well after last Saturday's VFL match. He's got a couple of games under his belt, performed OK and got a fair bit of the footy." | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Didak is certainly pushing his case for a senior recall with a strong performance at VFL level. Tarkyn Lockyer told collingwoodfc.com.au "I thought he was really good. His ball use was very good. For a senior player to come back, he did very, very well. His ball use was sensational. He kicked two and had 29 and moved a lot better than what he did last week. Certainly a real positive to come out of the game with the way he finished off." | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Didak returned during round 3 of the AFL season at VFL level, as he recovers from an adductor groin injury. He collected 22 possessions and kicked a goal. We would expect Didak to return to the senior side in the coming few weeks. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Coach, Nathan Buckley said "Dids has trained really strongly over the last couple of weeks and I would have thought that he's ready to play. At which level, we'll work out during the week." | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Didak is being handled very cautiously this season as he recovers from an adductor injury. This comes as no surprise considering his confidence issues last year at AFL level. They will play him in the VFL and hopefully he can get some good run in his legs as well some touch. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: It has been confirmed Didak will not play in Round 1 after being ruled out of playing this weekend in the VFL. He needs match fitness and game time confidence at lower level before playing at AFL level. Magpies football manager Geoff Walsh said "Probably another week for 'Dids'." | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: He is still on a modified program, but moved well and is seemingly heading in the right direction to recovery from an adductor injury. | ||||
| ||||
NEWS: Didak is recovering slowly and it is seemingly likely he will need to return through the VFL. He has not even began full training yet and will not be ready for a Sold Out season opening blockbuster against Hawthorn. | ||||
