Do admit there was a shot when he was being out in the back of th ambulance and he looked pretty happy sucking on the green whistle.

Hope there is no long term problems and he is back palming off the incoming quickly. Thanks for the updates robbo18, It's great to get inside info that is guaranteed accurate.

Best wishes to Nick. Hope it is nothing too serious. He, Harris Andrews and the growth of Paparone have probably been our three big player development wins for the season so far.

See you on the 9th green at 9
A good outcome.
You bloody beauty!!
As if the team performance against the Dogs wasn't depressing enough, I had to be even more depressed seeing young Nick go down with what looked like it might be a really bad injury.
So relieved it's on the lower end of the scale.
Get well soon Robbo.
Champ in the making

I think Nick is going to start establishing himself in the team next season. He has that aggressive attitude that has just needed to be shaped by application of greater game sense and the building of an AFL-level strength and fitness base. I think his skills made a decent improvement this season.
In his first season he looked very enthusiastic but very raw. Training and playing in a professional environment has knocked the rougher edges off him so that he looked like a much more well-rounded player in his second year, despite injury getting in the way a little. His third season will hopefully see him begin to take the next step where he begins to impact and shape games. He is good enough to do it.

The third and fourth years seem to be when young players hit their straps. It was when Yeo, Polec and Docherty started standing up and looking really comfortable at this level. Just glad that we will finally be able to experience that feeling with Nick and our other 2013 draft boys. Will kill it next year.

Full of it.

Wondering if he could be a tagger if the coaches so desired.Seems like he has the hardness and focus and could get on the outside as well,which a new breed stopper would also have to bring to the table.

Maybe he could be our Ollie Wines.
Just thought I'd share with you all.
Nick was asked by GOD to hold a player meeting earlier in the week focussing on the expectations at training.
They'd all spoken about different aspects of what's expected of them and also what they expect of each other.
I'll list a few points Nick discussed with the players and coaches in the meeting.
. When getting a drink put the cups in the bin don't just drop them on the ground or club room floor
. When a runner brings you a drink, hand the bottle back don't just drop it and turn your back, show some respect
. Train as you play. The whistle means react immediately not at half effort
. When a punishment is handed to a team mate in the form of push ups etc, we ALL get involved so that everyone watching us can hear we are all in this together ALL the time
There's just a few of the points discussed, but for me it sounds like the boys are digging into every detail to get better.

Geez, I misread it at first. . .
I thought you said Nick was asked by GOD to hold a prayer meeting!

And what would be wrong with that mate?
Lol lol lol!!!
I didn't think things were quite that bad at the Lions yet.
if it comes from god or not, great messages. RESPECT AND TOGETHERNESS.
Was the meeting aimed at the young guys / new recruits or the entire group?
Irrespective, what a massive compliment to Nick that essentially a second year player is regarded that highly to be asked to speak about such things, particularly given it is evident that he is one of the hardest workers / most disciplined. Sounds a real leader and an exceptional role model to all his teammates and younger teammates alike.
Everyone was there.
Even some of the older guys need a refresher from time to time I reckon.
