What does it take for an injury to be classified as a LTI? Maric is going to miss up to 2 months of footy
Fairly sure 8 weeks (the equivalent to 2 months) is an LTI iirc.

It was listed as 6-8 weeks from the time of surgery which was last week now so take into account the two weeks before the season starts he might be back within a month or so of games, the club will want him back as soon as he is ready so won't want to risk having him sit on the LTI when he's available.

Stoked for McDonough, I rate the kid really highly! Can't wait to see what he can do 8)

AFL has approved the upgrade of Orren Stephenson & Matt Thomas to the Richmond senior list as the club's nominated rookies, under TPP rules.

So there it is, Orren and Tank.

Miles probably a bit stiff to miss out, but I'm sure he'll get his chance.

Not over the moon by Stephenson's elevation but the logic is sound. Miles time will come though, I'd even have him over an above Thomas who's yet to convince me he can improve upon his 5 kick, 10 hand pass games. A late bloomer perhaps, I just hope it's not another Lonergan scenario.

Nige · March 11, 2014, 09:37:09 PM

Personally, I'm a lot more convinced by Tank than I was by Lonergan, I think Tank actually has something to offer.

I think he'll be a better investment. Similar to how Houli, Grigg and Maric (perhaps not as long though).

Haha, this is awesome by Matt Thomas. :P

Not that he would know seeing that he barely played in any of those Port games :P

Haha classic ;D

He spoke really well actually, hoping he can bring something to the table for us!

Anyone know where Nathan Gordon is at atm? I was really looking forwards to seeing him play but haven't heard much on him over the offseason.

Yeah, not much on him hey.

Didn't even get games in pre-season, found that a bid odd.

I guess others are just outperforming him in training and stuff.

Toga · March 12, 2014, 08:29:47 PM

Yeah sounds like it :( Pretty sure he played in the practise match on Friday though?

I liked the look of him for the Roosters last year so was hoping he might be able to show something early.

nickstiges · March 13, 2014, 02:31:37 PM

He was green vested in the Bombers match at Punt Road, played ok, but pretty surprising that he wasn't played more. Genuinely thought he could have played in Round 1, but I guess that's not the case anymore.
