[Lore]

Contract Status: Retired. 11/8
Last Game Played: Elimination Final 2019 (injured)
Injury Status: Injured, stayed in Vic with a young baby - 18/7

Our best lock down defender, Hooker doesn't have the pace to go with leading forwards like JK and Darling

 

[Flash10]

Put Ambrose on the opposition’s best leading key forward ie: KENNEDY!!
He’s not slow and he has endurance. Scoring shots on Hurley in a half = 8
Scoring shots on Ambrose in a half = 1

I was happy with the proposed match ups in defence - Though Ambrose totally outplayed Hurley.

 

[Kakkle]

Another 2 years!

 

[boncer34]

Giving a player averaging less than 10 touches a game a 2 year deal, classic Essendon.

 

[citizen-erased]

Another 2 years!

Not this time!

 

[Zach Package]

Low maintenance, no brainer contracts always gets knocked off first.

I love him

 

[Runk]

Well deserved.

 

[Seb78]

Good signing. Need no fuss hard working role players, not always about the flashy accumulators.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Next Parish,Tippa please

 

[Darealrath]

Paddy Ambrose!

Well deserved. Bloody impressive the way he's turned himself into the player he is.

[Lore]

Withdrawn tonight, apparently a quad injury during warm ups.

 

[Vindicater]

What an up and down week for the poor bloke

 

[Falcon27]

Has a history of a past bad quad and missed a lot of footy. Hope it’s not too bad

 

[Foreverdon]

Approximately 3-4 weeks sustained low grade quad strain

 

[citizen-erased]

Our injury luck has been quite poor this year.
At the very least we have depth here, but this is a s**t one to have happen to a guy having a career best season

 

[jmoo wan]

how does this happen in a warm up?

does anyone suspect shenanigans?

I heard someone trod on his foot and as a result he over extended his quad.

 

[yodellinhank]

Does anyone else feel like this is déjà vu all over again?

 

[eth-dog]

Confirming what we already know but with more detail.

“Pat has a low-grade tear on the surface of the muscle in his kicking leg (in his quad).

“It’s really the location and the fact it’s his kicking side that will cost him there, rather than the actual grade of the injury.”

 

[Hamez]

Not sure if anyone else picked up on it but I thought I saw Ambrose grabbing his quad in the later stages of the game VS West Coast. Anyone with footage feel free to post!
