"Meanwhile, the season is over for rookie defender Michael Hartley, who has been booked in to have a loose shoulder repaired.

"He hadn't been able to play all that often and he was coming off in his games because of the shoulder so he really hadn't had a good run at it since pre-season," Walsh said.

"[The shoulder] comes out periodically to the extent where we thought we need to halt the season for him and have his shoulder virtually reconstructed."

Hartley was added to the rookie list in December last year after being signed as a New South Wales scholarship player as a 14-year-old in 2008. "

So Hartley won't be lining up on Patton when we face GWS as many of us had hoped. Hopefully he will be back better next year.
 
Dodgey shoulders make me pretty nervous after what we saw happen to Brad Dick. Best of luck in recovery to him, hopefully get to see him at some point in 2013.

There's been plenty of players with "loose shoulders" who have gone on and had a successful career.

Judd was taken at pick 3 because of his dodgy shoulders, and even Buddy's shoulders were a concern and that's why the Tigers bypassed him.

There's been others of lesser note too who have had long careers.

Let's just hope we get him right, getting the surgery done now so he can have a full pre season is a good decision IMO, he only misses out on 7-8 VFL games anyway.

Did the NSW rookie rules change? Now that the system is basically done as far as getting any new 14-15 yo's go.

You used to have to upgrade your NSW rookie to a "normal" rookie after one year, is that still the case?

I dont like bad shoulders either. Easy to tell Judd to keep his hands below his head but you cant say that to your average tall.....best of luck Michael!

Taz had two recos by the age of 17. As long as the rehab is undertaken correctly and he doesn't have an underlying weakness then he'll be fine.

Agree. Robbie Tarrant has had 3 I think, he's now hitting his straps. And it didn't seem to stop Carey from memory.

I don't think that was ever the case matty Scott Reed was on our Rookie list for 3 years without any change in status
