Got some good news re: Foley.

I spoke to a guy tonight who has very, very close family ties with the club - he went to Arizona with the boys and watches every game from a box. He tells me that the club is very happy with how Foley's oppo went, and that they are expecting him to make a full recovery and be back to normal for pre-season. He gave me the impression that they dont believe it will be an ongoing issue.
I asked him whether this was just bs the club is putting out for the fans, and he told me that this is actually what club officials believe.

Encouraging news. thumbsup

This is great news.

Perhaps "started a nasty rumour" is more accurate?

What are you 5? Whats to gain about starting a 'rumour' lol

I've heard he's serious struggling with his achilles and I hope to hell its not true, I'm hoping the 'in the knows' on here will squash it.

think matt Hornsby "squashed it" today - said Foley's specialist is happy with this progess (see Injury list thread)

Great news.

AlterG treadmill a big boost for Foley

Richmond’s new, state-of-the-art fitness equipment, the AlterG treadmill, is playing a significant role in the recovery of star midfielder Nathan Foley and other Tiger players currently in the rehab. group, during the early phase of pre-season training.

A key component of the AlterG treadmill is its capacity to lighten the players’ bodyweight, when they’re using it, decreasing the impact on their joints.

The purchase of the AlterG was made possible through Richmond’s Fighting Tiger Fund (FTF), which has raised $6 million, allowing the Club to reduce its debt and invest back into the football department.

Saw that. Wonder which other clubs have it.

[Yeahright]

Is it possible it could have side effects of people not running on it properly?

[Stripes]

Hope Foley is fit for the first game but consider it an unlikely proposition. He needed an uninterrupted pre-season but I don't think he will begin training with the group until late Jan at best

Thought he was going to have a full pre season?  Wasn't on the list of players who weren't ready to start pre season.

Only just walking with assistance now. Won't begin to run taking his full body weight for weeks yet.

[Penelope]

didnt he say in the vid that he was only working at 65% body weight on the treadmill?

Why didn't they put that up on the website? Reckon he'll be right for Round 1.
