Good work Rinso, as Willies rehabilitation and subsequent  successful return and impact on the tigers future is critical to the future tigers structure.
I still feel sick bout his injury and i had him in a small group of players who we couldnt have a question mark on their future as result of such an injury.
Will is vital to the future of this side if fit and firing and i just hope the boy makes a full return, and i dont mind the boy being off the park as long as possible to ensure every chance of his successful return.

Only positive is that he can spend 6 months in the gym building his upper body strength, while working up his knee ;)

By the way Craig l should mention what a terrific ,respectful young bloke he is who seems to be forgotten when people discuss our outstanding recruits from the 2004 draft.
In my opinion every chance to be a 200 gamer and centrepiece to our futrure backline

To play full back like some of the guys are touting requires a lot of strength.  Given he can't do a lot of fitness work which makes muscle building much more difficult this can be an ideal time to build upper body strength. 

Oh and Tigermad (appropriate tag actually), Riewoldt was being given an absolute hiding by Thursfield till he went down.  The next six teams which played Riewoldt couldn't keep the guy out of the game no matter who they put on him.  That is what he gave to us and in his first game back from injury no less.  While you don't want to wish injury on anyone he was in my top three persons at RFC that I didn't want to see go down. 
and jay schulz kicked 6 against brisbane oneday. will has shown potential has played a handfulof games and looks a likely type but the way everyone is commenting on him one would think we had just lost the equivalent of gary ablett.

Watching someone actually and demonstrably improve at Richmond is more exciting for mine than than winning a game. Having that progress snuffed out basically sucked big time. Thats why people are getting excited. FFS how many years has it been since a number of juniors (more than one) really improved and made a difference like they have this year? Are we talking a decade?

i agree with you but it doesnt alter the fact that we are putting young players up on pedestals before they have earnt it.young will is an example of this.in senior footy terms he has done nothing.young defenders like moore and mcguane have impressed me at times as well. moore if i remember correctly looked very promising in his first 4 or 5 games. injury and form now has people calling for his head. personally i think hes okay but we cant wait forever for him to make the next step.mcguane wellnot a good example hes an out and out forward just my opinion.
 
Claw go back to your self imposed ban that you never followed through on. You are a disgrace of a supporter, ever heard of supporting your players. Utter disgrace.
