No inside info at all, just common effin sense I would have thought.

An entire group of fitness & rehab dept along with the club doctor etc would have more idea than anyone on here including the OP & myself

[Eat_em_Alive]

Baker for Lambert?

The Barometer - Round 22

Herald-Sun
13 Aug 2018

RICHMOND

ON THE BLOCK: Midfielder Kane Lambert will miss two matches after undergoing surgery on his ankle. Other than that, the Tigers finished with a clean bill of health yet again as rivals lose players left and right. It wasn’t Jason Castagna’s day (four kicks) but the only unforced change is likely to be Ivan Soldo, who came in as cover for a sore Toby Nankervis.

ON THE CUSP: A disappointing day for Richmond’s VFL outfit which suffered a 44-point loss to Williamstown. More concerning was Reece Conca hurting his “good” ankle in his comeback game. Anthony Miles had his usual truckload of possessions.

AL PATON’S FORECAST: Toby Nankervis should return, although with top spot all but secure and Soldo hardly disgracing himself against the Suns (34 hit-outs, nine disposals), why not give Nank another week to rest up for September? Somehow Essendon’s season is still alive, setting up another Friday night cracker. Last time these two teams met the Bombers came in with momentum and were walloped by 11 goals. Can the Tigers repeat the dose?

In the Mix - Round 22

RICHMOND

Get them in: Toby Nankervis (corked quad) should return after being managed last week from the Gold Coast game. Anthony Miles continued to shine at VFL level with 29 disposals and a goal on Saturday while Corey Ellis had 26, Connor Menadue 19 and Sam Lloyd laid a whopping 12 tackles. 

Under the pump: Ivan Soldo held his own against Jarrod Witts but will stand aside for the return of Nankervis. Jason Castagna was quiet but will hold his spot with no obvious replacement and at least one forced change for the clash with Essendon.

Medical room: Nankervis will be fine but Kane Lambert will miss the next two weeks after minor surgery to strengthen his ankle following an incident against the Suns. Dan Butler had the same procedure last week after failing to regain full power in his recovery from a round 16 sprain. The Tigers are now preparing both for the first final. Reece Conca had 19 disposals before rolling his "other" ankle in his return game at VFL level but should be available this weekend, although the VFL team has a bye.

Verdict: Nankervis in for Soldo and Menadue/Lloyd for Lambert.

Miles and Corey Ellis got the best reviews in the VFL report but it looks like their papers are stamped based on past failed promotions to the AFL side. Lloyd, despite a quieter game in the VFL side against Willy, was unlucky to be dropped after the Geelong game. So I'd reckon he'll come in for Lambert.

Reported on SEN that Prestia has a hammy injury

[Francois Jackson]

Geez that sucks if true

2 important players in lambert and Prestia playing a first final coming off injuries is not ideal

[FooffooValve]

Yeah hamstring soreness for Prestia, won't play this week. I'd rest him till the first final anyway, he's one guy that has shown he can come straight in and play well.

Miles and Lloyd in.

[mat073]

Must do everything possible to get key players fit for finals.

Surely this is why we keep players like Miles and Lloyd on the list.

It doesn't really matter if we drop one of the next two games . Should be only thinking about title defence.

[Lebowski]

someone from another forum is at trainign and says both prestia and Conca are training this morning?

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

The bloke that broke the Prestia news reckons that he still might be able to play Friday night.
