Prudden looked more like an ankle.

He had his knee strapped up in the players race and couldn't put any load on it.

I haven't heard any more since but hoping prognosis is not too dire for him.

They're saying its a grade 1 medial strain.

They're saying its a grade 1 medial strain.

Hopefully only one or two weeks then.

From those who attended, would like views on how Redpath performed. With Roughy out for an extended period we do need someone tall for the back half.

I thought Redpath looked promising in the small snippet of pre-season that I saw. Could he be an upgrade if Roughy is put on Long Term Injury List.

I'm not yet convinced on Redpath as I don't think he reads the play all that well and I think he would have limited match-up options if he was to play at the senior level.

I'd probably prefer a promotion for Austin who I think is closer to the mark of someone being able to play 15 games in a season.

Based on Macca's press conference it would appear that Redpath is right in the mix though.

How did Talia play yesterday?

I watched Talia pretty carefully and I noticed that he rarely had a very good handle on where his opponent was. Apart fom standing next to him at centre bounces I would doubt that he was within an arms length of him whenever the ball came into the Richmond forward line. Almost every time the ball came forward for them the first thing Talia would do was to look around in a panic for his direct opponent.

Surprising. When he's played Seniors I thought his one on one work was quite good. Was this happening all game or as the game went on? It's easy to be complacent with such a huge difference in scores.

Just an average game but I get the impression after talking to a few people at the game he has improved a fair bit in the last 3 weeks.

Can't be far away from a promotion but he has to earn it.

It was halfway through the second that I started to watch him. The game was all over by then.

You betcha. Cheesy was everywhere and nowhere all at the same time.

26 goals, 9 behinds. Time to ask for a pay rise if your the forwards and skills coaches. I don't think I've seen accuracy at about 75% over 25 goals.
