Adelaide Crows captain Mark Ricciuto OUT?

[Ferris_rules]

The Roo missed most of the final training today at AAMI.

Is he out?

Or is he being nursed?

Three emergencies will not be playing in the SANFL over the weekend.

Perrie, Douglas and Mattner.

South Australia holds it breath this weekend, what a First week of Finals awaits us.

The losers in this state will be stoned !

 

[pjcrows]

If Roo doesn't play, I will eat my left shoe.

 

[Farmy]

It is extremely likely that he is just being rested/not being risked in training, such is the nature of breaking the club games record, they don't want to risk it.

If he was fit, he would have trained.

If he didn't train, you'd have to think he would be unlikely to play.

 

[absolutezero]

He better bloody play!! Every finals series the Roo is involved in there seems to be some force trying to remove him from it.

craig says will play, no doubt whatsoever...

He isn't match fit, he wasn't match fit last week and he isn't this week, he is being nursed so he can play.

meh
he will play no doubt about it
just being freshened up

 

[fightingdreamer88]

Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't play. Already happened two years in a row, why not three?

Those games he was ruled out & not selected.

Roo will play.

Willing to put good money on it.

Yeah I know.

But I'll tell you this, I woke up this morning expecting to hear about Roo being in some sort of doubt (because of the past two years' events) and when they said he didn't complete the training session my heart was in my mouth.

 

[rufus_afc]

Roo will play no doubt about it, he will be playing up forward he most probably could get away with not training for the rest of the finals and still do okay if we continue to win.

I think it is just a sign that he body cant take too much anymore so they dont want to over do it.

 

[ICanDressMyself]

God **** off Ferris, stop bloody giving me heart attacks.

One year in a row Roo missed the final against St Kilda through suspension but played in the other two.

He didn't play in any finals last year due to parvo virus..

 

[Truck Rutten]

That's why I said one year in a row

 

[SodaPop]

He'll still kick 5 with a broken leg...he'll play!
The Hawks had a very light training session today and Bateman missed it so they're nursing him. I assume the same for the Rooooo

Exactly, and that suspension cost us a home prelim that year.

 

[jo172]

Exactly, and that suspension cost us a home prelim that year.

The fact that no one could be arsed to man up on Harvey cost us a home prelim that year.

 

[Tas]

Hawks couldn't get that lucky.

 

[21knights]

I've been to two training sessions this week. He hasn't done all the work like the rest of the team but Roo just does whatever he wants. He's earnt that. He will play.

 

[Smoooothy]

they said on the guru's show tonight that he has a slight knee complaint, but should be ok

he looked pretty proppy on the news but...

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

After 300 games, training's optional. It's a standard clause in AFL contracts.

Roo has had fluid on the knee.

It has been drained each of the past 2 days and cortisone injected into it.

He obviously won't be 100% but it is almost 100% certain that he will play.
