Do we really need a guy who cant kick a goal from 15 metres out, in our team.

Cant stand how he plays Football. So weak and skills equivalent to Paul Bulluss.

Do we really need you piping up every time the guy is mentioned?

SHUT THE stuff UP!!!

[Chuck17]

I was thinking he may not get much game time this year and if he gets any injury I cant see how he will figure in our side

[torch]

he was walking after the match, but not at 100%. so hopefully not a ACL or PCL!

Was near the bench and didn't seem that bad, just a tweek maybe.

Ch 10 news said Sugar has a swollen knee and will sit out next week against St Kilda. Sounds like it's just a knock and nothing serious.

from today's Herald-Sun.....

Former captain Kane Johnson has been cleared of serious injury after he was carried off on Thursday night, but has a bad case of bone bruising.

Football manager Ross Monaghan said the club was confident Johnson was simply sore from deep bruising.

"He's much better today than he was last night, and, while we are not sure of the complete extent of the injury, he certainly is improving," he said. "He had some bone bruising from (a tumble) at training at Victoria Park and this has stirred it up a little bit, but I don't think it's anything sinister."

Johnson is unlikely to play next week but is expected to be fit for Round 1.

l'm older than Johnson by years & had more serious injuries & can kick longer than him on both feet
his so fatigued he has no energy to kick let alone calling out for the ball from behind again many times on Thursday night.
No poo the collingwood players were running faster backwards covering than he was progressing forward.
being a No1 cares games l hope he was only playing at half pass cause l dont think his really that slow.
l give him credit for being a blocking in & under player which has helped Tuck learn from him & effect play & for being one to hold the ball in when needed putting his body on the line being the bottom of the stacks on pack, l think Sugar might be playing possum

Johnson undergoes knee surgery

FORMER Richmond skipper Kane Johnson underwent minor knee surgery on Thursday after an injury picked up in last week’s NAB Cup loss to Collingwood.

Johnson had a knee arthroscopy at Epworth Hospital and is expected to remain on the sidelines for several weeks.

Richmond doctor Greg Hickey assured Tiger fans that Johnson’s injury was not likely to keep him off the field for an extended period.

“Kane has experienced ongoing issues since he suffered a knee injury against Collingwood in round two of the NAB Cup,” Dr Hickey told richmondfc.com.au.

“He has sustained only minor damage to his cartilage but it will require a clean up,” he said.

"I would expect he would be out of action for several weeks.”

The Tigers travel to Shepparton on Friday for a NAB Challenge fixture against St Kilda, which will mark the return of Graham Polak to senior football.

Recently drafted rookie Andrew Browne has been named in the squad to make his debut for the Tigers.

Sugar originally injured that knee at training a couple of weeks back. He then reinjured it during the Pies game  . 3 weeks is going to be tight to see him okay for round 1.
