Thanks for that wrenny  :cheers

Think you're close to on the money with those ins and outs wrenny. Browny might be a chance and I would say Gas would be very lucky to keep his spot. If Gas's still in next week then that would send a message that we're trading him.

With Otto and Staff both missing next week against Geelong Steven King  :help, you would reckon Marsh would come in otherwise what was the point of getting him as a back-up ruckman if we're not going to use him as a back-up  ???.

An MRI revealed Otto has a cracked tibia  :(. Obviously means he's out for the season.

Richmond big man Brad Ottens has suffered a cracked tibia and will miss the remaining four games of 2004.

Ottens hurt his ankle during the second term of Saturday's five-point loss to Collingwood at the MCG.

Ottens underwent an MRI scan on Sunday, which revealed the extent of the damage

Hmmm.... wonder whether this means they start contract talks :help
