Brought Fas back too early also.
How he was cleared to play against North I have no idea, we were practically playing a man short.

Ah so you know how hard he does or doesn't work do you?
The last player you would use as evidence of anything - please explain?
Had it in my head from preseason training reports that he'd been working hard and loved competing in the sprints. Only reference I could find from a quick search was:We on here can only go with what we see. As i have said previously it appears his body has not changed much at all since he was drafted. He seems to take a long time to recover and / or not come up for games. Reminds me very much of Jared Grant.
If you are him or know him please debunk these things, I am all ears as he is important to us and would love for it to be different. IMO based on what I see he does not work hard enough. I will wait for your response with eager anticipation, as i really hope you can change my mind.
Thanks LH. Good that he can show hard work over a 6-8 week period according to a poster on here (one that wrote some great reports so not a criticism).Had it in my head from preseason training reports that he'd been working hard and loved competing in the sprints.

“•Broomhead is in great shape - he’s obviously worked hard over the break.”

Best I could find was http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/the-2012-afl-national-draft-club-by-club-20121122-29td2.html listing Broomhead as 73kg back in 2012 so has added 9kg based on current listing of 82kg.Thanks LH.

However I'd be really interested in how his body has changed since drafted. One poster was pretty quick to have a crack at me for my view so hopefully he comes back with an answer.
Regardless, my response was to his injury history being used as an example on our poor fitness department. Don't get me wrong they have failed in my opinion but not sure he should be the poster boy for that failure.
The reverse is also true.Players tend to appear extra injury prone when they're managed poorly
What will we get for him in a trade? Third rounder? Hope we use It wisely since we screwed up a first rounder. I'd be out the door if I was Broomy.News hot off the presses. Broomhead HIGHLY doubtful to take the field again this year. The amazing work of the high performance team strikes again.

I want to see Broomhead stay and be injury free.I can be one to give outgoing players a clip if they up and leave when we have contracts on the table, but not in this case. I genuinely just want him to get a clean run at it and if that's with us happy days. If not good luck to him even though I doubt he'll need it given his issues have been within our control.
If he does leave I'm confident there's interest out there so I think a pick in the 30's is achievable. I'd just prefer we make changes within the high performance group and ensure he's dealt with in a more professional standard moving forward. Being sent back on-field when clearly under duress 3 times in 12 months is not what I personally consider professional conduct.

Agree re the professional conduct and adding that I'm generally not a fan of our injury history, management, whatever you want to call it but for an individual's situation just putting it out there - do we actually know that it wasn't TB desperate to stay out there and prove his worth that lead to, or contributed to being less than forthcoming with medical staff as to the extent of the various injuries?
The nature of professional athletes, particularly those on the fringe, can lead to a 'she'll be right mate' attitude. Not saying that was the case with TB, just that most of us don't have enough information to know either way.
Definitely the club's choice to keep him on the ground - he was heading toward the bench and was told to stay on.I want to see Broomhead stay and be injury free.

Are you going off footage? If yes, who was the culprit - runner, official, coach??Definitely the club's choice to keep him on the ground - he was heading toward the bench and was told to stay on.
The kid has been mis-treated on more than one occasion.
Understand if you don't know the answer to Q2 but worried if you don't know the answer to part 1Don't know the answer to that.
Re: Broomhead
Wasn't his shoulder injury when he sent back on last year against PA which was well over a year ago now?
His injury when sent back on this year was the ankle right?
He is currently out with a shoulder injury so is this a new injury or the same one that he injured last year? If it's last year's injury then I doubt that the decision to put him back on last year should now affect him so much now?
I too think our injury management has been pretty dubious but I want to know more about this present injury because this kid's constant injured status is becoming a real frustration.
Thanks mate. I forgot about the Cats one.Hurt his shoulder again pre-season Cats game.............and again sent back on the field.
1. Shoulder = PA
2. Shoulder = Cats
3. Ankle = Dees or Blues game?
