Jackstar , how far away is Nathan Gordon from playing seniors ?

Played good although you need someone to play bad for him to get a go

reckon theres a few who meet that criteria for a few weeks now.

Heppell does this all the time and he's a superstar. 15-20 metre kicks sideways or backwards all day, runs 20 metres and gets another cheapie. If there's no one free, then kicks it 45 down the wing. Superstar.

No talking about Heppell
Thought McDonough got a few cheapies yesterday
Reckon Sam Lloyd will be ok as well

[Penelope]

lol

[tony_montana]

just an observation 

Yeah I like the look of Lloyd

[bojangles17]

Knights and Edwards will be fine

Good news jack, how's about Lennon and Mcbean, I didn't sleep a wink last night 

[Mr Magic]

We won by 3 points
McBean injured right ankle bad

Same ankle?

I bloody hope not!

[Yeahright]

We won by 3 points
McBean injured right ankle bad

Same ankle?

I bloody hope not!

He keeps banging on about McBean having the injury but won't answer questions about it

[Jackstar is back!!!]

Sorry .have better things to do in life than being on here 24/7
Would of thought McBean will miss weeks probably many
Knights was walking around ok after the game ( he didn't play the second half either did Edwards)
Edwards spent the second half texting on his iPhone so don't think he was too concerned
Had ice on his knee as did the Big O
Major concern is McBean
Players that will push for selection on yesterday would be Jackson who is a certainty
Helbig not far off
The rest will have to wait there turn and need several solid performances in a row too push for selection

Tiger Knights suffers setback

RIichmond midfielder Chris Knights suffered a setback in his return from a knee injury in a VFL practice match against Essendon at the True Value Solar Centre in Tullamarine on Saturday.

The former Crow has shown encouraging form in the VFL practice matches, and the injury is a blow to his hopes of an immediate return.

Knights made a promising start to his career at Richmond last year before tearing the patella tendon of his right knee in round seven.

Tigers VFL coach Tim Clarke said he was hopeful Knights’ injury was only  soreness.

Clarke appeared more concerned with a knee injury to forward Aaron Edwards and an ankle injury to Liam McBean, who kicked four goals before hurting his lower leg.

''They [Edwards and McBean] both needed help leaving the ground,” he said.

The trio will  have scans to determine their injuries.

In better news for the Tigers, best-and-fairest Daniel Jackson was impressive in his second practice match hitout and is a chance to return from a hamstring injury against the Western Bulldogs next week.

''[Damien Hardwick] was very keen to get him back against Carlton [on Thursday night], so I would assume now, with another run under his belt, he’s going to be pushing his name right up there for selection,” Clarke said.
