General manager of football operations Chris Bond also confirmed that Morabito has been placed on a revised training program that will see him focus all his energies on the 2014 pre-season.
“After discussions with Anthony and in conjunction with our medical staff and strength and conditioning staff, it was agreed that the best course of action was to amend our plan to have Anthony play a handful of WAFL games at what would have been the tail end of the 2013 season,” Bond said.
“It was agreed that it was in the best long-term interests of Anthony and his playing career that we continue with a conservative approach for his return to AFL ranks. As a result, Anthony will have a short break before returning to the club and preparing for the 2014 pre-season.
“By taking this approach, we believe Anthony will be really well placed to hit the ground running on day one of the 2014 pre-season and be available for selection at the start of the 2014 AFL home and away season.”
