East Geelong veteran Jack Beardsell says he will be “hoping for a miracle” to play again this year after scans confirmed that the injury he sustained early in last week’s loss to Bell Post Hill is a broken leg.
The versatile 32-year-old has also damaged ligaments in his ankle, and while he has avoided surgery, Beardsell is expecting to spend 9-12 weeks on the sidelines.
