Rioli

Anyone know how bad Rioli's injury is? Or, how bad it looked?

I reckon it's another hamstring strain.
What's that? About 2+ weeks? ???

Maybe they just benched him as a pre caution as they were slaying the dons.

Its pretty obvious they are going to be super conservative with him. You'd think he'd miss next week which is against collingwood. and then they have brisbane and the bye after that. They would be confident of beating brisbane without him so my guess is they'l rest him through the bye and he'll be back round 18 against Melbourne in 4 weeks time

if he misses next week I'm certain he'll miss until after the bye.

If they think they have a chance against collingwood, and it isn't actually an injury, they'll play him imo.

How many times has he done his hammy now?? His hamstrings must be made of tissue paper or something. I bought him 2 weeks before his last hammy injury :(

You've heard of the "Curse of Adcock" I'm sure, well, this is known as "Rioli's Revenge", not to be confused with the famous Chapman "Twaaaaaaang!", or the insidious itching of "Higginsitis".

^ that made me lol.

Very well put.

Yeah, it really hurts seeing him re-injure himself after he already missed 3 weeks (?) earlier in the season... he has scored bloody well since he came back too... was on track for 130 or so before he got injured last night too :(

Still, here's hoping he will come back and score well for us when it really counts! I'm lucky my opponents over the next few weeks aren't much chop!
