Paywall but it says it in the insert: https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=GCWEB_WRE170_a_GGL&dest=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.goldcoastbulletin.com.au%2Fsport%2Fafl-daily-rolling-footy-news-from-across-australia-for-monday-august-26-2019%2Flive-coverage%2Fb83ac580128fcd3f5c574bfbc16110f5&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium

That'd be almost as big an out as Martin...and certainly bigger than Cotchin at this point..

Meatball sent away for scans on his Achilles

 

Funny Ch7 News just showed Lambert heading in for a scan

[WilliamPowell]

Ch 7 just said Lambert went in for a scan on his "troublesome hip"

Interviewed him and he said he'll be playing no probs

[YellowandBlackBlood]

So we have two players, Prestia and Lambert who are playing sore and an underdone captain.....

Mick Warner on Talking Footy mentioned Prestia's achilles but then added that's why having the break is so important for these guys to recover in time for the finals.

Injury scare for red-hot Tiger

Richmond expects Dion Prestia to play against Brisbane despite suffering achilles soreness after the best season of his AFL career.

Prestia was today named in the All Australian squad and, after joining Tom Lynch in playing every game this year, could take out the Tigers best-and-fairest.

He was exceptional in the win over Brisbane with 30 possessions, 669 metres gained and 116 ranking points.

But he has some achilles soreness from the game which football boss Neil Balme said should settle down in time to play Brisbane on Saturday week.

“I think he was a bit sore but (the medicos) are not worried about it. He was a bit sore towards the end and they would rather he wasn’t but they are not too concerned about it.”

Richmond plays Essendon in the VFL finals on Saturday, which means ruckman Toby Nankervis will get a run after groin issues.

The club is worried about his capacity to play as many as four finals in a row but hopeful he will continue to improve after mid-year groin surgery.

Trent Cotchin would have likely played if he was available to get more miles into his legs after only 11 games this year and one since Round 19.

Early prognosis

Nankervis will have to get through training this week to be any chance of playing in Richmond's VFL final against Essendon on Saturday. Stack's recovery timeframe from ankle surgery is still up in the air but won't be rushed back. - Sarah Black

Stack just started putting weight on his leg yesterday. He was hobbling around. No chance IMHO although he has the healing powers of youth on his side.

How long does it normally take to play again?

It is incredibly variable as each injury can vary in severity quite a bit. Obviously Jack Ross was on the worst end of the spectrum. Kane Lambert last year was on the better end. So at best, maybe he could be fit for the GF but I doubt they'd risk him.

Thanks doc

After last year I would rather play 22 fit blokes and if players are no good don't play them. 
No underdone or ill players please.

Selwood did his syndesmosis I think a couple of season ago leading into finals and they had him playing in 3 weeks!!! Some sort of more modern orthopaedic techniqur where they use wires instead of screws to keep it together?
