They'll most likely ease him in through the reserves to manage his workload. Once he's ready to play for the EP league side he'll stay there until he gets an AFL call up

Round 16 mark it down

Tunners update

He better have a kick ass 6 months when he comes back because if doesn't turn it on then he is toast. Feel kinda sorry for him really because he has been a victim of circumstance and hasn't been able to prove himself to date.

Would have liked him to have had a full preseason and an injury free season so a proper assessment could be made of his abilities

All we've seen is snippets and seemingly each time he's started to show something he gets injured

 

[DanWCE]

Tunners will amount to nothing and fade into the abyss ala Colledge.

 

[RookiePick]

He couldda been a contender

Not sure how he is able to perform at his best in such a short period of time given the seriousness of the injury he sustained. Not sure the Eagles have any more lifelines for him after this year considering they all went with LARS which was basically an ultimatum.

Club has nothing to gain from encouraging the hybrid reconstruction if they thought he wouldn't be able to show enough in the second half of the year to earn another shot. They'd have put it plain and clear that his AFL career is over if there wasn't enough time.

No doubt he has a heck of a lot of work to do to earn another year. But the club must have enough reason to think that he's capable of it.

He's been able to improve and develop his body between injury so far, at least enough to stick around.

Tunbridge will play more games than Petrie this year, you heard it first here from a completely impartial fan.

Tunbridge, ACL (mid season).

Lycett, PCL (early season). Some marking and light training, increasing the load.

Venables, foot (?). Increasing training loads.

Duggan, hamstring strain (a few weeks maybe). Increasing his running.

Giles, ? (?). Has been missing some training.

Mitchell, rolled ankle (maybe a week).

Mmm rather we go in one less ruck if he isnt a 100%. Massive risk.

Rioli. Nooooooo

 

[Giant Pete]

FYi: Not sure where his aerobic capacity is at, but I do know he doesn't mind the physical stuff at all and is a smart player.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Damn it can't believe Rioli is out, was apparently a chance to debut early too. Was really excited to see him play...
Wtf 1st the AFL site said the first few rounds of the season, now 3 months?
Tore his hamstring and could have surgery...
Season already over before it started.

Season already over before it started.

Are you ok?

 

[MWPP]

It's ~12 weeks according to 7News
Devastated for Rioli

 

[avishka5]

3 months sounds bad but he could be back in early may. That's roughly still early in the season and spend a few weeks at the royals and replace Hill by round 12-15.

 

[Keys]

We've now lost Tunbridge and Rioli to long term injuries this preseason

Duggan and seemingly Giles are also struggling with less serious injuries but both have had an interrupted preseason

There's been the odd hiccup for some others but nothing that should impact their fitness come round one

Hopefully Rioli is the end of our troubles but as competitive work ramps up including JLT games that is wishful thinking
