Western Bulldogs forward Cody Weightman is back on the training track, marking a significant milestone after a year plagued by serious knee injuries. Weightman's return to running was captured on footage, showing his teammates enthusiastically cheering him on during a Sunshine Coast training camp. This comeback follows a difficult period involving five surgeries and battles with infections. The star player's struggles began nearly a year ago with knee surgery for a bipartite patella. The procedure required a bone graft, with pins used to reconnect parts of his knee. His progress has been met with widespread positive reactions from fans online, who have eagerly awaited his return to the field after a long recovery. Weightman has previously played 74 AFL games, kicking 125 goals, and is expected to participate in a match next month.
