Ant The Oracle - question about Fletch...

[Astute Observer]

Ant - you seem to be in the know with all things under wraps in the club! I have good sources but havent asked them - what's wrong with Fletch??? The Physio spent more time running out last night checking him than the over sized bloke near me did eating his hot chips all night. Whats the niggle....???

There's a rumour that he has a torn adductor and he's out for 2-3 weeks. At the moment it's only rumour and it hasn't really been substantiated. He played out the rest of the game so it can't be too bad.

hope its not true, he has been battling wiht something the last few weeks.
it will mean bradley back in. arggghh

He has been playing with bruised ribs for a while now.
As for any new injuries i have no updates at this stage.

Dustin Fletcher has the highest pain tolerance of anyone at the club.

We're talking about a bloke who played a finals series with a fractured bone in his leg.

He's carried niggles for the last 10 years.

Thanks Ant - if its bruised ribs though, why is the Physio running out to see him and not Doc Reid....??

would bradley be that bad as a loose player in defence?
and it would not mean that bradley would be automatic selection.
Sheedy could go with Johns as CHB or Lee.
Even Ryder CHB with Bradley/johns/lee taking 3rd tall.

If something did happen to fletcher could even use lucas down back and have laycock and bradley up forward replacing him. Dont want to see bradley thrown down back ever again, he has a spot now and just has to wait for his chance to play at the next level.

NO!!!.
Playing Bradley down back would be the worst thing the club could do.

He's finally showing some good form playing forward at Bendigo, that's his position.

Fletch will play so its not an issue. Bradley may well cause some havoc up forward as the third tall.
