Retired #43: Dean Rioli - 100 and out

[bigbomber]

there is nothing said about this on the essendon website and he is not on the injury list. i know he hasnt been named for the pracky against the lions this week. lets just hope that everything is ok.

 

[Pevers-Legend]

Bomberland boards say that it was reported on SEN that Rioli has done his
hamstring again.

Does nayone believe anything said on SEN? It is just one giant rumour mill.

Anyhoo lets hope he hasn;t as that whole articvle on his surgery supposedly making the hammies less likely looks a bit stoopid otherwise

 

[Darealrath]

I am shattered if that is true.

 

[nonchalance]

Bomberblitz is taking it as true.

This is very very bad for us.
I downgrade our ladder position two spots if Rioli is out for most of the year.

 

[nicho_magic]

crap he needs a longer rest can't the doctors wake up

 

[Longy413]

He hasn't done his hammy.

 

[bomberbilly]

should find out soon enough

 

[topdon]

No official word from the EFC. I suspect that he hasn't actually injured his hammy. Just journos trying to justify him missing the match up in Brissie.

 

[Darealrath]

He hasn't done his hammy.

You know this ?

 

[Longy413]

You know this ?

No. Just a presumption, but I think I'm right.

From all reports (a mate said he saw him at the airport) he went to Brisbane. Wouldn't have flown if he had an injured hamstring.

 

[whirl]

the paper says he'll play this Friday night.

David Hille on his umpteenth week of "Ankle - test". I hope that it's not an achilles injury.

 

[My Man Croad]

No Davids injury is a ankle. He rolled it a few weeks back he has resumed running so he should be right by the start of the season.

 

[Longy413]

Completed a full session yesterday.

 

[crazy_big_al]

not good at all

 

[meh]

If this is true, essendon really need to start thinking about keeping him at the club.

Amazingly talented but a waste if he is always on the sidelines.

 

[nonchalance]

You're talking to the club that has Courtney Johns on the list, meh.

well it's not true fortunately

 

[meh]

well it's not true fortunately

well who started the rumour?

 

[nonchalance]

well who started the rumour?

SEN.
That said, the Dons have no-one to blame but themselves for all the injury rumours. Windy Hill flu is ********ing infuriating.

 

[bomberbilly]

he is injured but i dont think its his hamstring..he left the track at wesley college and got treatment in the rooms. he was doing the running drills and looked fine. sheedy said he'll be right in a couple of weeks.

 

[blue boy]

who cares he is a dud

 

[Longy413]

who cares he is a dud

You do. You saw him run rings around Carlton in his first year.
Admit it, you fear Dean. Hence your motivation for posting.

 

[Mero]

He left the training session after about 20 minutes.
The training went on for about another hour.

Apparently he hurt his back from over doing weights.
He had an operation over summer on his back for hamstring related problems.

He didn't look like he was limping, so I guessed it was that again.

 

[Darealrath]

All reports are that he trained strongly. I know his last setback wasn't hammy related but with the news about Bucks i'll be more worried about his hammy than the result if he's picked.

But ******** me he'd make a difference.

 

[Longy413]

Warm night, play him.
We need his class and he loves playing Carlton.
