-----------------

Richmond youngster Maurice Rioli Jnr will miss 8-10 weeks as he recovers from the syndesmosis injury that he suffered late in Saturday’s match against the Western Bulldogs.

Rioli Jnr, 21, had surgery today to repair his ankle. The youngster had been a strong contributor across eight games this season.

This Injury Report is brought to you by nib. Live Health First with nib.

Sam Banks remains in good spirits and is being monitored closely by Club Medicos after suffering a concussion in a heavy collision on the weekend.

Banks is unavailable for selection this week as part of the concussion protocols.

Jack Graham, who was substituted out of the game early in the third quarter, is expected to miss 1-2 weeks.

Graham felt tightness in his hamstring, with scans showing a minor strain, that he will rehabilitate before returning to action.

Youngster Seth Campbell will also miss the next 1-2 weeks due to bone bruising on his knee. The 19-year-old has featured in every game this season since debuting in the Opening Round.

In other injury news, Jack Dyer Medallist Tim Taranto is only 3-4 weeks away from playing as he progresses through his return from a broken wrist.

Rebounding defender James Trezise is also unavailable for selection this weekend after suffering a concussion in the final quarter of the VFL match.

Liam Baker (corked leg/soreness) and Dylan Grimes, who was managed last week due to a niggling back issue, are both listed as a test for this week.

Last week Hopper was 2 weeks, this week it’s 2-3 weeks. Someone strap his knee and he redid it?

Specialists and surgeons get things wrong and it’s up
To the club to learn from their mistakes by using the same surgeons and specialists (if they are)

Get your point

But...

The majority of Clubs use the same surgeons, specialists in sports injuries

I'll be honest I don't get what it is people want.

Folks complain if we rush players back and they re-injure but then also complain if they are held back because the recovery takes takes longer

It’s a tricky situation. It’s close to home for me as I have a high profile friend in the afl who’s career was nearly derailed by the surgeon stuffing up multiple times. Ending up sourcing a different surgeon privately. 

Also I’m not sure anyone at this stage is against a recovery taking a little longer

Come on mate all we ask for is a bit of transparency the whole the department has been a mess last 2 seasons. Miatake after mistake we never learn just look at the Graham incident over the weekend. This is we're standards have dropped from our premiership years we take short cuts. Before we herd the exuse because of covid spending had to be cut what's the issue now. The first person I'm looking at is Livingstone as Blair is more on the contracts and recruitment side.

Thanks for proving our point then. If they all use the same surgeons then it must be the fault of your main man magic Meehan.

 

WP I think it's fair to say you are compromised in this discussion. How anyone can defend what has transpired this year is wild. Actually this dates back to his actual recruitment.

How am I compromised? Because I dont see an issue with a bloke after surgery being eased back into things when they healing process is taking longer than 1st thought. Seriously?

If you have surgery and your initially told the recovery period is x amount of weeks all going well and then you have a follow up scan and find things haven't healed to point it needs to be at to resume your job are you suggesting that you just ignore the medical advice and go back to work to more damage?

Is that what you are saying. Last time I checked that's not allowed to happen in the workplace so why should a footy club be any different. It is a workplace.

And what are you on about "his actual recruitment"? Sim and I were talking more about Jack Ross, not you fav Hopper.
