Sam Day admits he wasn’t sure he’d ever play AFL again after a brutal hip dislocation completely wiped out his 2017 campaign.

The Gold Coast tall will play his 100th game for the club on Saturday, crediting the club staff behind the scenes for his successful recovery.

Day looked the part in a rain-soaked round one victory against North Melbourne and has backed his side to make a seamless switch to dry-weather football at Etihad Stadium against Carlton this weekend.
