He's our most important player.

Scan the lot of him every week!

In fact, I want permanent Ryder scanning at all times.

As long as he has enough brain function to run, jump, catch and kick, I couldn't care less if he reads at a reception level.

Bitta scuttlebutt around the place that Jarrad Schofield could be getting a gig in the coaches box next year for Port.

Interesting. Pretty sure he lives behind me, will have to have a peek over the fence to see if any meetings are taking place

I haven't read anything about his Dad, was his death sudden/unexpected?


Yep, suddenly passed away a bit over a week ago.

His Mum fought a long battle with breast cancer that she lost in October last year.


Losing your parents at any age is bad enough but to do so at his age is just terrible.
I’m sure the club is helping him out where possible.

Yeah didn’t realise he was coaching Subiaco. That’s embarrassing! Must be another ex player that fits the criteria living behind me. Whoops :oops:

No.
Tore my Achilles and suffered from tendinitis before that as well as a couple of strains. My daughter is also a physio. Have a good education and understanding of them.
He'd know if it's OK, it's only be scanned again if it's inflamed again or uncomfortable which would indicate tendonitis at the least.

I was spot on with my assessment of Van Berlo in the past too.

You can get tickets for $32, being a Power home game anyone can still get a ticket as the Power are the third worst crowd drawing side at Adelaide Oval.

There were times in that quarter where Adelaide had +4 behind the ball at the centre bounce. We were literally better off not winning the clearance.

It is utterly extraordinary how negative Ken Hinkley is.

Yeahhhh but it's connected to confidence and ball movement.

When you have a coach that has absolutely no faith in you it would probably make you hesitant and nervous.

We have plenty of good kicks in the side.
