Pick 47 ~ Bradley Helbig

[mld]

Great news indeed.

 

[Tigers2011]

The way we're going with injuries and suspensions, we need every player we can muster. Helbig is an important part of the future assuming ongoing development.

 

[AstuteTiger]

He tweeted earlier that he'll be playing next weekend.

Great news.

brilliant earlier than expected, helbig for me is ur utility type can play running bak, midfield or roaming the forward line....early this year was playing in the back line and looked good has improved his disposal and still hard at the contest...

Great news, massive fan of Helbig. Been a real shame about his injury as I think that he has a real future and unfortunately he's been unable to get much needed game experience this season. Has a lot of work to do and and areas to work on but I like what I've seen.

 

[uhuh uhuh]

Playing for coburg or richmond???

 

[vinpaul]

It would have to be Coburg, hasn't played for 3 months at any level.

Coburg

 

[Tigers of Old]

Instead of losing them we're getting a player back from injury?

Good to see him return. Hope Helbig finds his feet quickly.

 

[Timmy99]

Does anyone know if Brad is playing at Coburg this week?

 

[Brodders17]

Does anyone know if Brad is playing at Coburg this week?

no, not named for either Coburg team.

 

[Timmy99]

no, not named for either Coburg team.

Thanks.

Hopefully it is just a cautious approach to his return from injury and he will play next week.

He was never gonna play this week but during the week Brad said he'll be playing next week at Coburg.

 

[YinnarTiger]

According to the AFL injury list he's got another week to go.

 

[wayne]

Just on SEN, they had a guy talking about the foot injuries that ended Croads career and that Richo had.

He mentioned a young Richmond player would be playing again this week after having screws put into his foot.

I assume this is Helbig.

 

[Fab 4 CDFM]

A half in development league is what I am tipping.

 

[craig]

Might as well be put on ice also young Bradley no merit rushing out there now.

 

[Super9Nova]

Might as well be put on ice also young Bradley no merit rushing out there now.

Agreed. If there's benefit to be gained by holding off then work toward 2013 absolutely.

 

[Ghost of 29]

If he is right to play then get him out there. It is critical he plays some more footy this year so he can go into the preseason with confidence in his foot but more importantly can continue to develop his footy.

High hopes for Brad.

Agree. He needs to play footy for his development, putting him on ice will hinder that.

 

[Ghost of 29]

Yep, there is a point where you can miss too much footy and find it hugely difficult to get back the pace of the game. Look at Kel Moore...first game back against a hack team and he was miles off the pace because he had missed so much footy. Hopefully he can get back his form of 2009/10 but it is going to be a long hard road for him.
