Ankle sidelines Ottens until 2005

Watch the best of Brad Ottens

Richmond big man Brad Ottens has suffered a cracked tibia and will miss the remaining four games of 2004.

Ottens hurt his ankle during the second term of Saturday's five-point loss to Collingwood at the MCG.

Ottens underwent an MRI scan on Sunday, which revealed the extent of the damage.


He finished 2004 with 13 games and 16 goals.

Priority pick is in the bag. Bring in Marsh just to make sure.

hate to say that this is good news but long term we will be better off. maybe they can get him to re-sign now with the coach about to be apointed and his season over.

Marsh and Hall rucking against King next week, it will get really ugly.

... so has the size of the new deal that he could reasonably ask us to accept. If he stays, it works for us, if he goes then it doesn't.
