Broken thumb apparently thanks to a kicking in danger by Grant  ::). Plough reckons 4-6 weeks out.

lost my respect shannon grant has.

Thought he was a terrific guy but then to pull out this crap and do something kids are taught from Auskick not to do.  :banghead

At least this gives lids a chance to see the match from the coaches box

Tigers' season gets worse, Deledio out for six weeks
Michael Gleeson | July 9, 2007 | The Age

RICHMOND'S disastrous season, which appears likely to end in a wooden spoon, suffered a further blow yesterday when emerging star Brett Deledio broke his hand.

The Tigers lost the match to the Kangaroos by 25 points, but of more significance was Deledio's injury, which it is feared will keep him out for a minimum of four to six weeks.

Deledio, the former No. 1 draft pick, was hurt when Kangaroo Shannon Grant tried to soccer a ball off the ground while Deledio's hands were on it. He sat out the rest of the game with his hand in an ice-pack.

ohhhhh well ... we don't need more injuries to our young kids ...

but Deledio hasn't preformed lately ... so for him to sit back and have a rest should make him hungry more ...

what is the point in coming back round 20 ??? have the season off ... and get ready for 2008 ... get bigger

and start playing in the midfield ...

Thats what i call bad list management.

Will they bring him back if Lids is out 6 weeks? Agree it would be stupid to come back just for one game. 4 weeks out would mean there's still a month of footy to go.

they havent said they will bring him back and they havent said they will, they just said what the usual time out would be 4 this injury, i doubt at all that he will come back

but then again why dosnt he play next week, hell , if johnson can play with a broken hand im sure lids can!!!!

why dont the tigers just fess up and say sugar never ever had a broken hand but a pulled heart muscle!

Sorry Jack but you are joking aren't you ???

xXx is right they haven't said they'll bring him back just that he is out for 4-6 weeks which based on where the break is is normal for the injury.

Sorry to disappoint you xXx but I can assure you that Johnson did have broken hand and is still suffering the effects of it

in that case wp, sugar should be rested and let his hand heal, he is not doing the club or himself any favours by being out there.
he says he is out there because we lack leadership, well he must be joking cos he shows absolutely no leadership, and a hairline fracture in his hand 1mm long should not interfere with his poor kicking

The break is to the second metacarpal which required surgery. Lids had a plate inserted to stabilise the index finger in his right hand.

Do you think the RFC asking for it to be looked at is going to spring AA into some sort delayed reaction?

The system is stuffed everyone knows it, everyone keeps saying so IMO there is no way the AFL would have done anything - heaven forbid they actually have to admit that something AA has implemented is not working ::)

If it's next week then you'd reckon straight back in after only 3 weeks out. They don't make the side's key players come back via the VFL after a standard 2-3 week hammy say.

From Sportal:

Brett Deledio is a chance to return to the senior line-up this week after missing three matches with a broken hand.

The 20-year-old, who was expected to be sidelined for between four and six weeks when kicked on the hand by Kangaroo Shannon Grant, wants to see how he pulls up after a full training session on Wednesday.

"It's still a bit sore around where they made the incision to put the plate in but other than that it's not too bad," Deledio said.

Deledio poised for comeback
5:54 PM Tue 31 July, 2007
By Catherine Murphy
for richmondfc.com.au

RICHMOND young gun Brett Deledio could return from injury this weekend for the club’s clash with Geelong at Skilled Stadium.

The 20-year-old broke his hand during the Tigers’ round 14 defeat to the Kangaroos and was predicted to miss four to six weeks, so an appearance this weekend would cap off a speedy recovery.

“I have to see how I train Wednesday and see how the hand pulls up,” Deledio said.

“Then I guess it will be up the match committee to see if they see me fit to play.”

The youngster will have an appointment on Thursday morning with the surgeon who operated on the hand and will also have an x-ray to ensure that the bone has fully healed. However Tigers coach Terry Wallace says they won’t be taking any chances.

“We won’t play him unless he’s right,” Wallace said.

“We’ve said the whole way along that we’re not throwing blokes out to get them operated on for the sake of getting them operated on.

“We could have said the hand’s no good and he’s going to sit out the rest of the year but that’s not been the case.

“He’s worked his backside off to get back as quick as he possibly can and it’ll be a close call this week.

“We’re pretty keen to let our fans know that we’re still out there having a go and we’re still out there trying to play the best available side each and every week.”

Deledio says he would love the opportunity to play against the Cats this weekend after they were trounced by them in round six.

“Anything better than 157 points would be a little victory for us,” Deledio said.

Doesn't sound like it.  :-\

Lids, if he is playing, should be concentrating on how he isn't going to get shut out of the game by Ling again. He should talk to Connors who'll be across half-back with Lids to help him out with some "shepherding"  ;).

Deledio may play against Cats
Geelong Addy
Brad Green
02Aug07

RICHMOND could receive a surprise boost for Saturday's daunting clash against the top-of-the ladder clash with Geelong at Skilled Stadium by the return of young gun Brett Deledio.

Deledio, the 2005 NAB Rising star, broke his hand during the Tigers' round 14 defeat to the Kangaroos.

He was originally predicted to miss four to six weeks.

An appearance this weekend would cap off a speedy recovery for the youngster.

The 20-year-old is back training and has an appointment this morning with the surgeon who operated on the hand to have an X-ray to ensure that the bone has fully healed.

``Then I guess it will be up to the match committee to see if they see me fit to play,'' Deledio said on his club's website richmondfc.com.au

However, Richmond coach Terry Wallace says the coaching staff will not be taking any chances with the 2004 number one national draft draft pick.

He said they would only play Deledio if the surgeon is convinced the hand has mended 100 per cent.

``We won't play him unless he's right,'' Wallace said.

``We've said the whole way along that were not throwing blokes out to get them operated on for the sake of getting them operated on.

``We could have said the hand is no good and he's going to sit out the rest of the year, but that's not been the case.

``He's worked his backside off to get back as quick as he possibly can and it'll be a close call this week.

``We're pretty keen to let our fans know that were still out there having a go and we're still out there trying to play the best available side each and every week.''

Deledio says he would love the opportunity to play against the Cats this weekend.

He was a part of the Tigers side that was trounced by 157 points by the the Cats in round six.

Meanwhile, Richmond forward Nathan Brown said the club has a simple goal for their remaining five matches having scored just the one victory so this season.

``We've just got to be competitive,'' Brown said.

``It's been a terrible season, and we just need to make sure we don't have blow-outs.

``We want to get to the end of the year, and get a good pre-season under our belt.''

Well then he can't play.

I'm currently nursing a broken hand that I "did" five weeks ago this saturday - and it's nowhere near 100% healed. It's a six week injury without an operation. I guess they jab it up and play anyway. like Sugar.

Post by: mightytiges on August 02, 2007, 04:47:02 PM
Hardly any footballer plays 100% at this time of the year. They probably mean 100% chance of playing which can mean a jab and a protective glove and out you go.

If Lids was only coming back now then I would still say keep him in cotton wool. Not worth it bringing someone back for the last game when nothing rides on it. As it turned out it wasn't a six week injury as far as not being able to play as first claimed so the right call was made. It would've been silly for Lids to miss the last month for nothing.
