Balme, Burge pffffft there’s only one man we go to for true player updatescaesar said:Balmey and Peter Burge sending out slightly mixed messages on Daniel:
On AFL.com article titled: Caution call: Tigers careful on jet's return.
Balmey saying Rioli has pulled up sore, (not in the foot), but everywhere else with the extra training load. Said if trains tomorrow then all is on track but if he doesn't it probably sets him back a couple.
Burge on RFC.com : Says Rioli has had a good couple of weeks and should crank it up further this week.
Guess I will have drop by PRO tomorrow to see if Rioli is out there.

se7en said:A couple of what?
Days?
Weeks?
Months?
caesar said:I just extrapolated it to 1 or 2 weeks, (but hey if he is out there tomorrow it is a mute point).

caesar said:Whoops, I need a proof reader ;D
Mac said:and I need to be less of a word police!
caesar said:I were just paraphrasing not quoting, if I were quoting he said:
"If he doesn't train, it might put him back a little bit."
I just extrapolated it to 1 or 2 weeks, (but hey if he is out there tomorrow it is a moot point).
caesar said:Dreamtime maybe Pipe dream
Of course he is desperate to play Dreamtime to the point he might push himself too hard too soon. You would suggest to play he would need at least 2 games in the VFL? playing a half in game 1 and close to 70% game time in hitout # 2. That means he would need to play VFL Saturday May 19 which is only 10 days away, so it is a race against the clock.
I suppose it’s possible they have been ultra conservative as it is ?caesar said:Dreamtime maybe Pipe dream

U took the words right out of my mouth , nb suggested it ruined his career , should have delayed comeback a few months more23.21.159 said:You've only got to watch the Nathan Brown interview on Open Mike to see the pitfalls of rushing back too early.
