Jimmy Webster returns to Lavington Panthers for another comeback bid
Webster, 32, rejoins Lavington Panthers aiming to play regularly after injuries sidelined him last year.
Webster missed most of last season to injury. Hamstring trouble before round one was followed by a shoulder injury while on loan at Mt Pleasant in Tasmania.
Webster returned for Mt Pleasant's final two games, winning best-on-ground in the premiership. Coach Adam Schneider backs him strongly for 2027.
"He'll be picked every Thursday night," Schneider said. Webster played 180 AFL games for St Kilda over 14 seasons.
