Confirmed via RFC website and the VFL team for this week

No McAuliffe = injured

 Club seems to have unraveled in the past 18 months. I might sound harsh but the injury list and updates are a great example of either arse covering or having no idea.
The ACL TBC thing is an actual joke. How can a player who is out for 12 months still be “TBC”? It defies logic and points to our increasingly becoming a rabble
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

this week's Injury report was done 3 days ago

McAuliffe came forward after that on Wednesday complaining of foot soreness

They just issued another one explaining everything

Just on this I get frustrated with people complaining about the ACLs. Club has been very clear, very clear with what's going on around them. I get that people don't like the what's being said. They have said each bloke coming back from an ACL will not be playing for a minimum of 12 months from when they injured their knees. And then each will be assessed on a case by case basis with a conservative approach being front and square.

People complained (I'd actually called it sooked) when blokes came back early or without the proper conditioning. We go the other way and the complaints are still coming ... clearly when it comes to fitness, S&C the Club cannot win.

Sounds like he has the same reoccurring foot & leg issues Cotchin had early in his career. :shh

Answer me this WP
Why did Mansell play on the weekend?
Was clearly sore …

Now he has 3 weeks off, they are getting his AC joint sorted

So if they are being conservative, why wasn’t that the case with Mansell?

They’ve had 12 months to give us something better for Lefau and Young. I get it might be harder Gibcus and Hotton.

We finally got something on Juddy Clarke.

But the others? Geez, we’re going backwards in injury updates and  it feels like arse covering.
I know you profess to be objective as do I.

And, objectively, the ACL TBC is a crock of poo!

I was speaking about the ACL players. Been made clear how they are approaching their returns

But in answer to your question, from what I've heard as one of our more senior players he put his hand up to play and that like most shoulder injuries it could be managed. Not saying I agree but that's my understanding
