Title: Do we risk Jack vs GWS?
Post by: TigerLand on June 11, 2012, 12:43:22 PM
I think we should put him on ice for 2 weeks, GWS rest and a Bye.
We need him firing come 2nd half of the year.
We should be able to beat GWS without Jack comfortably. If we can't then the playing for finals is pointless so no harm done.

My argument is if we lose to GWS without Jack then our finals dream is over and therefor risking him to play and get a win is pointless if we cant beat GWS without him.

A week is a long time in football if you asked anyone if we should rest Jack after the Saints win against GWS you'd get 95% yes.

GWS are also coming off a bye which historically has been near impossible to win after.

Can't see us losing to GWS after losing to Freo. I'm confident of a result.

i hope we want the body contact more than we did against freo! GWS play a pretty hard at the contest type game, we'll want to be on

Too valuable, so no unless he's 100%.

He shouldn't have even gone back out against Freo. The whole situation was not assessed properly- it was clearly an ankle turn which is 2 weeks. We are playing Freo on a wet deck with GWS and the bye coming up, and with other excellent full forward options available including Deledio, Cotchin and Mullet, I was surprised he came back out. And he was useless on one leg anyhow.

If it was a 2nd semi or a prelim, by all means jab him then nurse it through the finals.

Week off for sure.

Give him a week off. Will be three weeks rest by the time we play Adelaide.

I think we can bounce back without him anyway. The rest will be valuable to him.

If he is is any doubt- withdraw him
Its quite clear he did something were not being arrogant by "resting" like other clubs.
I'm sure if we "respect" these opponents like we should and stick to our plans we can win convincingly

Last week I don't believe we showed our opposition the respect they deserved- we only lost by 12 pts and played so badly. But the point is we lost.

Cotch will get tagged this week for sure. Jacko to play big bro role and schoolyard bully too  ;D
King back adds some fire to the team too

If he is injured (which he clearly is) then NO he shouldn't play

Post by: 10 FLAGS on June 12, 2012, 08:58:25 AM
If he can play he should play because we need the percentage after the loss to Freo. If he is injured he shouldnt play and bring in Elton for a game.

From SportsNewsFirst...

Colourful Tigers forward Jack Riewoldt copped an ankle injury in the first quarter of the bruising Dockers encounter.

And while the club officially ruled him out of action until after the mid-season bye with a ligament strain, Riewoldt is still optimistic about his chances of facing the Giants.

“Jack hurt his ankle, early in the game, on the weekend,” the Tigers performance manager said.

“But, in typical Jack fashion, he’s very professional and really diligent and has improved significantly in the last couple of days.

“He’s quite optimistic (for this week).

“But we’ll just see how he goes through the week and towards the end of the week with training.”

nope rest him,

give us a chance to run that softy Vickery into some form and maybe give Elton a run.

Seriously, if we cant beat GWS without Jack and Foley comfortably, then we have no business even worrying about finals or percentage lmao.

FTR we'll win this and win it comfortably, we needed that loss against freo to refocus the group, as we were stating to play like a bunch of millionaires

Put Bakes in the square. Vickery has had his crack. Guess if he kicks 2 or more against GWS then people will change their mind and start talking him up again.

Better than Hurley :lol

"I think he'll be fine," Hardwick said. "It's been a great lesson for our younger players — how much you put into (recovery).

Jack Riewoldt has been icing his ankle around the clock - including waking every three hours - to give himself the best chance of playing.

Richmond star Jack Riewoldt has overcome an ankle injury in time to play against GWS Giants

JACK Riewoldt has been declared a certain starter for Saturday's clash with Greater Western Sydney at Skoda Stadium, despite suffering an ankle injury last week.

The forward trained with teammates today for the first time this week, but appeared to move freely in what was a light session at Punt Rd.

Hardwick said Riewoldt had taken an exceptional approach to making sure his ankle would be right to take on the Giants, a game many assumed the 2010 Coleman Medallist would be rested from.

"I think he'll be fine,'' Hardwick said.

"It's been a great lesson for our younger players, how much you put into (recovery).

"He's been sleeping three hours on and off and icing it every three hours. We're very confident he'll play which is a great credit to Jack and the work he's put in to be available for this game.''

Asked then if there was a worry Riewoldt would be feeling the effects of fatigue due to his rehabilitation practices, Hardwick said: "There is to a degree, I'm sure he'll get a couple of hours sleep though.

"It was quite a taxing game, the game we played on the weekend (against Fremantle), with the amount of stoppages and tackles that were laid.

"So we've had a light week on the track, Jack hasn't trained at all ... we're pretty confident the boys will come up fresh and ready to go against a revitalised GWS.''
