where is he at?

 

[Bjchan13]

where is he at?

Unfortunately hasnt been able to stay on the park as consistently as we need. Just have to hope the trip to europe he did with Reid has helped

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Any updates on Ridley?

Didn't he travel overseas late last year to see some specialists for these injuries?

Assume no news is good news?

 

[thepokey]

According to people watching training he is looking really good in match sim. "Back to his best" a couple have said

 

[ant555]

Looks good. Match sim has been good.

Fit Ridley will always look good, it's a question of how long he stays fit. Fingers crossed they've worked out how to fix / manage his quad issues.

He’s had four issues?

1 more away from entering Fantasia and winderlich territory. Extending him is looking like a horrible decision

 

[Call Me Cake]

In another universe he probably plays the first praccy match and suffers a more severe form of the injury in a nothing game.

I'd rather they know about a specific weak spot before the main season starts. In a way we might've dodged a massive bullet here.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Glad to see that world class soft tissue specialist is paying off

Club hopes to have him back 10 days later and you come out with Fantasia talk. Lmao.

That was for quad. Hamstring is a different expert. Best send him to Germany for that one.

They should have flipped him over and done both sides whilst he was there

I think you'll find it was based on a history, not a one off injury.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Not good.

Constantly going down with quad and hamstring issues, yes the alarm bells are ringing. And I also said 1 more away.

 

[MiguelM]

Send him to Ballet school. They know hammys!

Elliot for the Pies benefited from that.

You believe the clubs publicly stated timeline for recovery. Lmao.

 

[Vindicater]

Yeah.

Not good at all.

sack crowe

 

[joey_jo_jo]

if he misses early chunk of the season because of this it will be the third season in a row where he misses games because of leg injuries.
RIdley, Reid and McKay are alot of key position defender eggs in injury prone baskets. Its frustrating on two accounts, one we never get to see our best backline together and two it gives our coaching team an excuse for some poor structural defensive issues.

has anyone ever won back to back Yiooken's in subsequent games?
