Do you have a view?

A mate saw Mullet in Niddrie on Saturday arvo.

Lets just say if we get him back in the second half of the year it will be a good outcome

He lives at Niddrie
Often seen in local cafés

Mostly at Niddrie Charcoal Chicken though.  A sub-franchise of the hugely popular Northcote Charcoal Chicken and not to be confused with the imitation Thornbury Charcoal Chicken.

Richmond ruckman Ivan Maric will miss the start of the 2014 season after undergoing surgery on an injured ankle today.

Maric is expected to miss the next 6-8 weeks after having bone spurs removed, with surgery the preferred option for the Club’s medical staff.

“It’s good to get that done now, and start moving into his rehab phase, and hopefully get him back on track soon,” said Richmond’s Elite Performance Manager, Peter Burge.

“He’s been able to train with it in the last couple of weeks, but he hasn’t been 100 per cent comfortable.

Lets hope for a speedy recovery. Hampson and Griffiths will need to stand up.

Geez. Two attention seekers quoting each other with their wink wink nudge nudge BS.

This from Dooks, the same guy that rambled about Griffiths apparently being injured and the club hiding it

  Coach, damn that memory is impressive.

May have been asked but WTF did the club and it's medical visionaries, wait until the season is almost here to do this?

Anyone??

Someone???

Dan Richardson (GM of Footy) said yesterday they thought they'd be able to manage it through the season 

But have worked out they can't, the pain isn't 'going away so they've decided on surgery now rather than later in the season

Maybe they should have operated earlier to fix it for good (even if it means the mullet misses pre-season) instead of trying to 'manage' it.

They 'managed' to derail his season

Agree 

The problem is bone spurs for crying out loud, they weren't going away 

[Smokey]

Might end up being a blessing in disguise.  He gets an extended rest period for his groin and a shorter season so might not be run into the ground by the business end.  Just a thought.

[Diocletian]

Made finals last year despite a below average season from Maric....Hamspud's probably about as good as a below average Maric.....West Coast  match proved there's still ways to win despite being severely outclassed in the ruck division....whether that's sustainable over a season is another matter though....

Our medical department's been as incompetent as our fitness department over the last 30 years and still is....one of a few things the much lauded "new era of professionalism" has yet to address....

Its crazy, they had the same philosopy with his groin last pre season  and opted to 'manage' it for season 2013. He ended up having groin surgery this off season and by all reports his groin has come up really well, so why didn't they take this route last preseason and save him a world of pain throughout the 2013 season??
