Any one know whats wrong with it... Will this be another Justin Charles type injury
 
yes cofirmed mate of mine is the trainer down at tiger land
he has told me it is osteitis pubis still struggling with it
wont be there next year trade bait
brown trade very close to done - hall,bowden-for brown.
brown very good mates with cambo.
 
for those who missed it....

I hear a lot of talk about getting rid of Hall - he didn't help us much during the year.

But then from memory, he carried a few injuries this year, and we are short of talls, he's not too old and he has only been playing footy for a few years...it takes awhile for a big guy to develop

..not saying he's untradeable, but not a throw-away either.

Personally, I think Brown's good, but not even near $500k

With Holland, Stafford, Ottens, Richardson, Gaspar, Schultz, Vardy I wouldn't say that we are completely short on talls,

However I do agree that Hall shouldn't be written off to quickly as he is very athletic for a big man and could still be a good player for us
 
Dont include Vardy in the list he is already out the door.....

Should and probably will go. But if 1 or more of the following are traded Richo,Holland,Hall plus the the fact that Gaspar will be out for a large part of next season we would look very thin come talls.

Unlikely that all 3 would go but even if 2 ....say holland and Hall were to leave, the club might be forced to retain him to cover the loses.
 
I remember seeing somewhere that in respect of tall players over a certain height (190cm?) we are very short on in comparison with other clubs.

If you look at the 6 talls mentioned:

Richo trade bait?
Gaspar - out to mid season?
Holland - had a good year 2 years ago but is acknowledged as a big slow backman
Stafford - is he fully over all of the physical problems he brought from Syd?
Ottens - stable, long termer
Hall - bad year for injuries
Schultz - young, needs time for development and experience...
Vardy - keen, but just shy of the Firsts

...I can still remember the frustration of watching Benny for a few years until he got settled.

...also, a lot of other clubs are asking for talls, and while top quality m/fielders are special, good midfielders aren't as rare...but serviceable talls are hard to find.
