Have Ridley, Francis, Redman and Gleeson had a four way arm wrestle or played Uno against each other?
These might be the best methods to identify the one winner.

He may have been traded to the social media team:

Marty update, he's still alive! First in a long time, Marty's feet will be making contact with terra firma in a training capacity in the coming weeks.

Defender Marty Gleeson is gradually making progress in his recovery from a season-long ankle injury suffered in the JLT Community Series and will once again step up his training in the coming fortnight.

“Marty Gleeson is on the AlterG (treadmill) this week. He’s been slow, but steady, we’re really happy with how his ankle is at the moment.

“He’ll progress off the AlterG over ground over the next couple of weeks.”

In case people are wondering what the hell the AlterG is, here is Jacko running in it after breaking his leg. The pressure inside the jumpy castle is altered to change the force of body weight applied to the legs, meaning that running training can start earlier in the recovery process.

At a glance I was wondering how it had managed to turn Marty into Jackson.

Funny post but I like Jerrett too much to like it, spud is harsh.

I’ve got a soft spot for him too, it took me a few days to bring myself to post it.

I’ll make it up to him by demanding he get another year

Recovering well, but no ETA on full training. Dependent on full recovery of the ankle.

Crow said important intercepting defender Marty Gleeson is also “building up his volumes”, completing three running sessions a week in his recovery of a significant ankle injury in the side’s JLT Community Series clash with Geelong in March.

“With Marty’s ankle, we’re looking to get that very last bit out of the ankle in terms of its explosiveness, its ability to decelerate and absorb force.

“He’ll need to get that last few percent out of the ankle before we can put him back into full training.”

He has certainly put a fair bit on. Good to see.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Still looks like a twig to me.

Still looks like a twig to me.

Might be one of those ones where he won’t put muscle no matter how much gym he does simialar to Fletcher

 

[60sbomber]

Disappointing to hear Crow say they still need to "get that last few per cent out of his ankle" in terms of explosiveness and ability to absorb stress when stopping and turning. You might have expected that his ankle would have fully recovered its strength and function by now, and he would just need to build up his fitness.
It's been a very slow recovery for him. I hope it is still going to be a full recovery, and some time soon, not "gradual" (=painfully slow) as it has been so far.

He’s our special little boy

Looks far more Doogie Howser than How I Met Your Mother.
