Ottens hurt in back yard fall

RICHMOND ruckman Brad Ottens is recovering in hospital after falling
off a ladder and landing on a wooden stake in his back yard on
Tuesday.

The 2001 All-Australian could list himself as "lucky" after a spot of
gardening went horribly wrong when he lost his balance and was
impaled on a stake.

It's believed Ottens was speared in the groin.

Shelley Ottens called an ambulance for her injured brother, who was
rushed to Royal Melbourne Hospital for emergency surgery.

Ottens will stay in hospital for at least two days and will miss the
start of Richmond's pre-season training on Monday.

"We'll take him nice and easy and it won't hurt him to have a bit
more of a rest, anyway, to recover a bit from the season," Tigers
football manager Greg Hutchison said.

Club doctor Chris Bradshaw said Ottens would be back to peak fitness
in seven to 10 days.
