We lose tuck we are stuffed we are already feeling the affects of not having a pack bursting delivery maker in foley ... Conca is his natural replacement for mine in years to come
i hope being left out doesnt make him upset if i was west coast or freo i would be throwing the kitchen sink at trying to get the boy back home he will be a great 25 possie 1 goal player...
We lose him will be mad as all hell
-
stuffing called this when he went down however a few seem to of thought he would be easily covered......yep.....NUFFERS!!

Don't stress J2T, Conca won't be going anywhere. Won't hurt him at all to have a reality check for a week and then come back and fire up. Will be a very good player for us for a long period and I can't see the club doing anything detrimental to him at this stage of his career.
-

Want to name the posters, WAT? I said we could cover him against Fremantle. We didn't lose to those guys because we didn't have Foley, we lost because we played like ass. We didn't lose today because we didn't have him either. 33 points up at 1/4 time without Foley, how the stuff did we manage that? He's a good player and we do miss him but he is not the reason why we lost today. May have made a difference but fact is we lost because we played like dog poo in the 2nd half. One guy doesn't change that.
-
I am worried about the clubs inside perception of Conca 22 possies wet day and didnt do much wrong i saw the last clash before the siren and saw him limping when i saw omission i was worried
The boy can play and to drop him might make him lose confidence if i was a west aus club i would be in his ear this week because he will rip it up he is way better than say a Tambling dropping him may make him come back stronger or make him say fk you
-
LMFAO @ some of the hysteria about Conca :lol If Conca doesn't have the balls to accept he's been dropped and his first thoughts are to leave then let him pee off back to where he came from!
But in saying that I would be pretty certain his first thoughts would be on what he needs to do to make it back into the team. The kid isn't a stuffing idiot unlike some of you posters.....
Oh and just on Foley, I agree with the Coach, we clearly didn't miss Him in the first quarter, it's more the lack of skill and experience in our second and third tier players that was the problem....
-
There is worse stats in the starting 18 than him you might want to check him with a few other b4 you start coming out with barrage and apart from tuck morris and cotchin no one is his peer for attack on the ball
-
Too right it has, 25 regualr possies with a heap of clearances not simply replaced....has taken the edge off a dominant midfield especially when up against top sides....hope he can get back soon, critical to our year
-
???? Who cares about stats? My post is referring to all the "chicken littles" that are carrying on about nothing. I'm sure Conca will cop it on the chin and work on his game, not pack up his bat and ball and go home because he's been dropped! God forbid we drop anyone again just in case there a softy and will want out at the end of the season :lol :lol
-
i agree mate don't get me wrong there is 2 ways he can look at it try harder fight back into the side which i am 99 % sure but if blair hartley was at another club it is the absolute oppurtunity to spin rubbish into the youngsters ear and pry him away tel him he is 22 game material at such and such club no need to look over your shoulder lock in top 18 if we lose him this will be the reason why
-
No worries mate, I would like to think he is a bigger person than that and leaving the club wouldn't have even crossed his mind. I'm sure there is a good reason as to why he was omitted and I'm sure he will come back into the side very quickly.
-
i actually question if he was dropped and he didnt have a niggle.
imo hes been pretty steady all yr and his last game against gws was pretty decent.
we have retained players all yr with much worse form issues than conca.
-
Agree with you Claw he has been conssistant not fantastic, he does go in for the ball commitment is not an issue there fore not crap

One of your best posts and 100% spot on
He would've been real handy but facts are we were shown up yet again
Honorable pathetic skata losses are rubbish
Foley didn't make Rance fall to his knees countless times in the last half, Foley didn't make Grigg centre the ball and gift Adelaide a goal, Foley didn't make That hack Miller give momentum to Adelaide
-
Gone for the season?
-
Foley was a big part of the midfield heart yet at the same time limited.
Mark Coghlan board.
-
Gone for the season?
Yep :(
-
Don't know why the club plays games
They knew that 5 weeks ago
Seen him at footy on Saturday limping along
Oh yeah .he had a bruised heel .yeah right
-
I heard he ruptured an achilles this morning
-
I can tell you what would of happened
The only way possible he would play this year is that he had an pain killer to train this morning to see if he could play a game
They were desperate to play him
-
HARDEN THE stuff UP,NATHAN!!!!!
-
Drugs are cool so long as the club doctors shoot you up............

Oh Nathan don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more.
-

Mate, this is why people hang poo on you. On almost every topic you have to include something about some past opinion you've had and how brilliant it was and how unjust those who disagreed with you were. It's tiresome, and frankly it makes you look like a flog.
-
It's official - Axel gone for the season :(
http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/6301/newsid/141088/default.aspx
Star Richmond midfielder Nathan Foley will miss the rest of the season after suffering a partial rupture of the Achilles tendon in his right leg at training today.
Foley, who had been battling to overcome a heel complaint that had sidelined him since the Tigers’ Round 10 victory over St Kilda, was undertaking a running session when the injury occurred.
“He was actually running at sub-maximal pace and was doing a very similar session to what he completed on Saturday, which he pulled up really well from,” said Richmond’s Elite Performance Manager Matthew Hornsby.
“Repeating that session today, he, unfortunately, had an incident.
“We’ve been really cautious and conservative with him, because of his history, so it’s really unfortunate for him.”
-
Bloody hell.
Feel like crying
-
Have also heard he was limping at the footy badly on the weekend, so why was he training today?
ah stuff it, its all over, achilles, see ya later for a year and goodbye to his career, thats it for him
-
agreed Tony..if he was limping at the weekend as some eyewitnesses claim,why the hell was he running today?
-
Bruised heels can take a while.

As it turned out Jack I sat behind you too and saw that myself.
Disappointing for the kid.
Sadly his career is being cruelled by injuries.
-

What gabbage
Was told by the person who scanned him 5 weeks ago he had issues with the achillies
-
Club say he had bruised heel
Why lie RFC.
Really

Jack, you may be right about the achilles but Dwaino is correct too. Bruised heels do take a while.

Yeah bruised heels take a while. Apparently was seen on Saturday hobbling around too :banghead

True,
Cummins missed whole summer of cricket due to a bruised heel.
Club say he had bruised heel
Why lie RFC.
Really
Fair enough question. What's the point?
-
No point getting angry at the club, if they're telling porkies maybe its to throw the opp off who's ready and who's not.
I can't see any other reason, anyway. Will be happy to get a win out of this weekend
-
real shame the injury gods have not smiled on nathan.
im with others why do they lie about injuries or for that matter make excuses when dropping players.
surely we deserve better than that. i had the club ring me up the other day asking to put my hand in my very stretched pocket atm and just lob in another $200. 00. thought to myself no i put in heaps every yr, atm things are tight.
they ask for more yet they cant be upfront about a simple thing like injuries. to be honest im sick of 30 yrs of constant b/s a bit opf straight up front honesty is all im asking from them in every thing they do. ah well i suppose its a reflection of todays society where everyone asks integrity what the hell is that.

Is this the same foot as 2 years ago?

Sort of agree here. Them telling us a lie didn't rupture axel's achilles.
Still, i don't like being mushroomed.

That's interesting, if someone passed on my private medical information I would sue the stuffing poo out of them.

jeezuz this site is pathetic at times. little groups all kissing each others arses. lots of abuse pretty well veiled most of the time. no wonder this site doesnt grow that much.
you come on here and it seems like the same 20 30 odd posters on here all the time i wonder why that is. does no one have an opinion of their own and are prepared to put it out there why do so many even on an internet forum feel the need to run with a pack. it really is gutless.
whats bewildering is people dish it out weather thats with innuendo, direct attacks, sarcasm or just being rude but cry like babys when they get a bit back.
whats worse is the gutless ones who all stick together and dont have the balls to stand alone and put it out there but rip into anyone who dares to. they never say what they think about a subject just rip into those who have an opinion that differes to their own.
personally over the yrs i would have liked to post on here more often but it really was not worth it putting up with all the juveniles. the way its going and i reckon most will cheer i will be taking another sabatical from here because well getting decent footy debate is nigh on impossible with most it seems.

whats of interest also is the ckub going to the AFL before they sack Connors for sleeping in, mmmmmmmmmmmm

What is the possible correlation to Foley there Jack? :huh
Rookie upgrade?
-
Club haven't been upfront and honest at times
-
Bad luck indeed for Nate. Might be time to look forward methinks unfortunately.
I'd like to see Conca on the ball for the rest of the year. Played well on the weekend.

Just ignore it. As you say opinions are like arzoles..
I value your contribution whether I agree or not.
-

I agree :-[
What's the success rate of ruptured achilles injuries? how many players have come back from it and regained their speed and acceleration?

Need to play dusty ASAP
Jacko back soon and hang in there for Helbig
Bad idea suspending Martin
Need to write off the year and win the flag next year
I'm depressed

Not many have. Roughead probably the current exception. He's come back and is in career best form IMO.
From what I heard the Club was tossing up between sending Axel to surgery now so he's on the mend by the time preseason training starts in November OR try and manage the condition through to the end of the season so he could still play and then have the surgery. Seems the 'incident' yesterday made the decision for the Club. Frustrating news for Axel as he was getting back to near his best in the first half of this year. Those who decided to play him injured in the round 1, 2009 game have a lot to answer for for this :scream.
-
A real shame. Foley was playing very good footy this year. Wish him a speedy recovery. Agree should play Conca in middle

What's of no interest is you taking another pot shot in the innuendo stakes over a situation that you think you know the finer details about.
BTW FYI - if a Club is going to terminate a player mid season or mid-contract they are required to meet with the AFL & AFLPA but don't let that little FACT get in the way of any innuendo
Now back to the topic
Extremely disappointing for Foley as he was back to his best this year.
Not sure of the difference between a "partial" rupture and "ruptured achilles" but I will find out this arvo, I'll ask my physio ;D
-
I partially ruptured my transverse tendon on my wrist after some clown cut me off on my motorbike, just means it didn't completely tear right through. He will have no spring in that foot, won't be able to push off or anything, surgery or looong rehab depending on how bad it was from what the surgeon and sports quack told me, who treats footballers as it happens.

I thought of Roughead initially, but wondering if anyone knew of any midfielders. Don't want to jump the gun, but I'm worried this might be career ending. His spring and pace are his tools. Look at Cooney. Knee is shagged and he is only a shell of what he was.

Came back and played two more seasons. Some have the memory of forgetful goldfish.

Came back and played two more seasons.
Had Campbell had a prior achillies injury already before his rupture? Because that's what Foley will be dealing with.
-
Sounds like jackstar was correct.
So does this mean we as members were lied to? And for what reason?
Maybe RFC official can shed some light on this for us.
....or maybe he doesn't love us anymore....
-
I don't think the club is obliged to be transparent. I don't recall being lied to either. Everyone here at least was well aware of the injury, and the club with held the extent until they decided what they were going to do.
-
8posts on a footy field are a plenty
The Miller man may grind out another game out of DimSim
We re not shaping up well injuries are dis mantling our list and season
-

What's the point of hiding injuries
All clubs watch each other train irrelevant if it's a closed session as well
Players have mates at other clubs
Pretty easy to find out what's going on the world
Even an easier way.go to training and watch for yourself .pretty simple
Club knew Axle was gone 5 weeks ago
I have seem him several times limping around in those 5 weeks.so have many people so what's the point in telling lies?
Other events of recent times also have a similar spin as well.so what's the point
-
This question i ask without any smartarse.
Did anyone actually think he would be back?
Come on......?

Asked the question weeks ago to RFCO and never got a reply.
-
Super upsetting news about Foley. The RFC media folks seem to be suggesting that after this surgery he will be good to go. Really hope this is accurate and he's not the next Cogs.

What's the problem then if everyone already knows? Not sure if I'm just missing your angle, but it's just starting to sound like some blokes looking for a whinge. What lies are you referring to? It's not like the club said he had the runs or a broken hand or something. I didn't expect Foley back this season and nor did many here. Not with that sort of injury. I'm just glad the Franklin scenario wasn't our club's this week otherwise this place would be in meltdown.

Maybe I'm mixing it up with postings on here but I thought there was a definite statement from the club that Foley's injury was NOT a recurrence of his original achilles injury that he played with in 2009 and was a separate and different injury, a bruised heel.
As regards the reason for a club not releasing bad news, the simple and most obvious reason is to maintain optimism and thus membership and attendance sales. It's the same as other businesses telling lies to avert scrutiny to keep up share prices and consumer trading.
-
they should have been honest and upfront like the hawks with hodge
he's back next week yeah?

Doggies fans want answers because Murphy was listed as out with a hamstring, he revealed on 360 on Monday night that it was in fact back/hip tightness. Scandalous.

Agree but he is not permitted to speak outside the club about issues that may be considered sensitive by the club.....there you go. Don't shoot the messenger.
-
Seems to me we need more money so we can have a higher medical spend. Does anyone know the correlation of high medical spend clubs and injuries to players. Sydney seem to be the best at avoiding injuries and managing those they get to me from afar, but I don't have the stats.

What is his contract status?
-
can it be fixed?
I would keep him. If foley every is fit he is handy. Even as a sub :(
Was such great foil to chimp deledjo martin. If hangs up boots we left with jackson.
-
What is his contract status?
Out of contract at the end of the season Mr Magic but club and his management in negotiations
Reports a week or so back were he was close to re-signing
I expect it to be done soon rather than later now

Agree but he is not permitted to speak outside the club about issues that may be considered sensitive by the club.....there you go. Don't shoot the messenger.
My god
:stupid
Looking in the mirror again Gerks...

Hardwick gutted by Foley blow
By Ashley Browne
Thu 12 Jul, 2012
RICHMOND coach Damien Hardwick has spoken of his disappointment at the season-ending Achilles injury to crack midfielder Nathan Foley.
Foley suffered a partial rupture of the tendon just as he was bidding for selection for Saturday's home game with Gold Coast in Cairns.
"To see him pull up the way he did was sickening to the stomach," Hardwick told SEN on Thursday. "The way he was running around, we were hoping he would play this week."
Foley had missed four matches because of a hip injury.
"It was so disappointing because he'd put in an enormous amount of work," Hardwick said.
"He's a diligent young man.
"As you can imagine, he's pretty flat, but the positive is he can get it fixed and he'll be able to play for a number of years.
Hardwick estimated that before his hip injury, Foley was likely polling in the top five in the Tiger best and fairest.
"He's the sort of player that other sides let go because of the Deledio-Cotchin-Martin match-ups and he was regularly getting 25 touches and hitting up the scoreboard as well," Hardwick said.
"It's a massive loss for us but we just hope he can get himself back and play the good footy that we know he can."

No wonder. Last game we played well in was the game he got injured.
Been a massive slide since the St Kilda game.

Will admit I've been one of those calling for him to be traded, especially last year because he was so far off is best form of a few years back
More than willing to say I was wrong, horribly wrong
Need him desperately now

Very true. Foley added the depth which other teams couldn't combat allowing him to get off the leash and damage teams. Teams can now weather the storm when our better mids are around stoppages and take advance when they are not.
