But they said it was too soon to say if he would return for a semi-final if the Hawks overcame the Dogs.
Day is one of the best emerging midfielders in the game and would have been a strong inclusion against a powerful Bulldogs midfield led by Spearhead Charlie Curnow was limited to straight-line running and light skills away from the main group at an open session attended by about 4000 diehard fans at Ikon Park on Saturday morning. Battling an injury to his left ankle, he did not kick on that foot. Coach Michael Voss indicated on Friday the two-time Coleman medallist would line up against the Lions.Getty Images
Few players would even attempt to make such a quick comeback from an injury that usually requires nine to 12 months on the sidelines butClose friend Patrick Cripps said a week one return in the finals had been a long-range goal for Docherty, who has been in full training for about six weeks. Should Docherty play, it would provide the Blues with a significant emotional lift after a torrid last two months of the home-and-away campaign in which they tumbled from second to ninth, and only just scraped into the finals after“When you get the right mindset, and you set a goal and you get after it like he’s done, you can achieve amazing things, so it’ll be a huge boost,” Cripps said.“But another thing would really help us with is he’s a great leader out there. He knows the game.
