Brad Ottens for Full-Forward

[kretchy]

Looking forward to the return of Otto in 4 or 5 weeks time. With Stafford in such good form in the ruck Ottens will be able to just play the Full-Forward rull pretty much all match with Hall giving Stafford support in the ruck.

Will be a dangerous forward line with a fully fit Richo at CHF and Ottens at FF and Krakouer and Rodan crumbing.

The thing on Ottens' side though is that the injury was identified and treated early on so hopefully that should result in the injury not re-occuring. Fingers crossed.

The thing against Ottens though is that he is a key position forward/ruckmen meaning the back is going to take more punishment than that of a midfielders.

Gary Lyon had a degenrative back problem.

Otto had a piece of Cartligde break off and get wedged in a disc in his back. And this caused the nerve damage.

They did ask gary on the radio and he also mentioned that this problem will heal properly for him. Gazza did also say that was about as close those 2 had in common with the injury.

Otto will be ok. We just have to patient and not hope he comes back too early.

No need to rush back Otto, Id be happy for him to be right to play he last couple of months of senior footy ...Just taking it easy in a pocket ....5-6 grabs a game 3-4 goals would do nicely
