Now with his pre-season impacted he’ll no doubt get reinjured again at some stage in 2026
Realistically we can expect 8 - 10 games out of him in next year (similar to 2024 & 25)
Hopefully can trade him out and get a 3rd rounder at the end of 2026

Honestly need to get rid of him and merrett so we can secure justice and Bewick over the next two years. (Neither us or port will have a chance at rodan with the two picks to match rule)

Great player but too injury prone

No idea what’s happening what Harry jones but I hope he’s training in defense

Unbelievable to be honest. Give him an 8 week hamstring strengthening program and don't let him near a footy or drill that could cause injury until February, seriously.

the scary thing is surely that's what should have been happening now anyway

 

[faible]

don't let him near a footy or drill that could cause injury until February

Then he'll just be injured in March instead of December. Papier mache for soft tissues it seems.

I'd keep the perennially injured Ridley over Jones. Jones is clearly not up to it. Major list clogger.

Seems like you're only 1 injury away from a staccatoey career at the Dons.

Surround Ridley with the sheets guys.

And we have him for another four years. No other club will go near him.

Brisbane were keen, I'm sure they'd back themselves to get him right if he didn't cost them much

Career over time to rebuild

Feel sorry for the guy with yet another injury. Probably heads to Bris next year after we waste yet another in his career.

That said, he’s injury prone and I don’t blame the club with mismanagement, just an acknowledgement that we can’t turn him around.

A witch queen must've visited Essendon in the last 20 years.

Drop a few voodoo dolls off.
