Now we know the real reason for Shane drop off late this season. A good rest and recuperation ready to get to 300 games next season
This doesn't make good reading but it is very true!And let's be honest, the boys chucked in the towel about 8 weeks ago, Lions game excepted. They haven't been playing for dimma or anyone else since then.
We really should be telling any player with any form of injury to start rehab now. No training and no game this weekend. The more of a break the fellas get, the better they can come back in 2022.Came back played every game back hobbled by that ankle by the sound of it no surprise considering his impact and output.
Edwards played injured.
Nank played injured
Cotchin played hobbled.
Dave played first half of the season nursing Achilles tendinitis
Lynch played most of his games injured.
Lambert and Prestia in and out with soft tissue injuries.
Tiger King Kidney
Balta Syndesmosis
Broad Syndesmosis
Bash Syndesmosis.
What a shithouse year ....seriously
You get injured when you're not at peak fitness and push your body to compete. The loss of Rob Innes has had an impact and hopefully we're looking at this.Came back played every game back hobbled by that ankle by the sound of it no surprise considering his impact and output.

Yep losing Innes and not having anywhere near enough preparation had us behind the 8 ball before we even got started.You get injured when you're not at peak fitness and push your body to compete. The loss of Rob Innes has had an impact and hopefully we're looking at this.
He cant be right and isn't, I don't think. There was one piece of play in the 3rd quarter v GWS where the ball bounced in front of him and he chased it down but the champ just totally looked like he was running up and down on the spot doing so. He then got hold of it and absolutely butchered it with a sore and tired effort after.
Whether or not he plays this week, that might tell you a bit about his health status.
He’s great. Deserved break.Long story about the ankle on the website now. He was definitely badly hoppled for the last few weeks. He's got a nice rest coming up.

Think we might have a similar situation with Lynch Willos. Knee issue and Volar Plate reco on the finger I suspect …which are an absolute *smile* sometimes (TBR would know what I’m talking about there).You picked it Redfords
19 games, I think. That 300+ club at Richmond stayed at 3 for far too long until Jack made its membership 4. Shane deserves to be its 5th member.Congrats to Shane on AFL life membership. Hope he manages to stay injury free this season and get to the 300 club at RFC
Wayne Campbell stiff at 297 games19 games, I think. That 300+ club at Richmond stayed at 3 for far too long until Jack made its membership 4. Shane deserves to be its 5th member.
i was thinking it would be pretty rare that a club would draft 2 guys in the 1 draft who would go on to play 300 games for that club.19 games, I think. That 300+ club at Richmond stayed at 3 for far too long until Jack made its membership 4. Shane deserves to be its 5th member.
Kornes said on the radio this week that he could see Dusty playing until his mid to late 30’s and nudging the 400 game milestone.Wayne Campbell stiff at 297 games
Can Cotchin play 16 games this and next year to get there??
Dusty should play for a while yet. Could get to 350. Depending on how loan Jack goes on this would make Dusty #2 on all time Richmond games played

He’s extremely durable. And if we do play him in that Lethal like forward role later in his career every chance he gets there. Hope he sticks around for another contract.
Not lost on me that at one point a lot of mates didn’t think shedda was going to make it. Fair bit of credit to Dimma making him a proper mid. He’s been a bloody star for us and we miss him badly when he isn’t playing. Congrats Shane. Well deserved.
Damn, he's f***ed now.
Aah, Shedda is truly a star, so creative, love the way he plays.
