It's a big leap to assess our structure on the basis of one picture at training.

It was three pictures Jmac c'mon

My mistake! I'm sure Witts will make a great rover.

I think he was joking, it was probably the strangest and most random comment I've seen on here tbh

You're clearly new here ... Welcome!

As a young man I was shocking. These days I mostly sit in silence (when I am not in the bar)

Haha... Spoke to a mother of a Richmond player today and found out that on their training camp all of the Richmond officials stayed in a hotel while players slept on floors in a hostal. A couple of the younger players literally were on the phone crying to their mothers!

Part of their training... At half time during a game they will be allowed to call their mums for support if they are losing.

I don't want to think about the ribbing I'd get if my mates saw me crying on the phone to my mother (unless it was something serious)

Aside from knee victims Brent Macaffer and Matthew Scharenberg, the only injury concern is Ben Reid’s troublesome calf.
Reid hurt the muscle on Monday. It is thought that it will take three-to-four weeks to heal. “It’s only a relatively minor thing but we’re probably over-concerned because of his recent history with soft tissues,” said Balme. “We’ve really got to get to the bottom of that and see where that goes. “It should be fine but we are certainly quite concerned about it and we’ll consider all of the possibilities around him. “He is a pretty important player for us.”

That last line has me a tad concerned, was under the assumption the only real possibility for Reid is to lay off the calf for it to heal naturally but the implication in the quote suggests there is more then one?

How many ways can you heal a calf, surely they don't mean surgery for a tweak, are they looking at surgery to try strengthen it?
Is there even a surgery that can strengthen it? perhaps a full calf transplant

But seriously, hope i'm reading a bit much into it, but from that quote anyway looks like they're thinking of some alternatives, great to see so many of the other boys healthy however!

I'd be concerned about any injury personally, and I'm glad they are! Injuries certainly aren't a case for happiness

I'm imagining the aspects include the more obvious such as training load or his ideal weight for footy, and then perhaps the less obvious such as blood flow to the area. Carrying a whole calf around on his lower leg sounds pretty drastic, however.

Yeah I agree Fas is a good mark like Elliot and I encourage them both to continue contesting in marking situations but there is a time and a place when to fly and when to rove as a small forward. Just from that picture our structure looks wrong with Witts roving and Fas flying.

You seriously judging that off a photo?? Wow.
