[quote]Patrick Ambrose wasn’t considered for selection after failing to get through his final training session.
The defender has missed the last five games with a quad injury.
“Paddy just tightened up while kicking during that final session on Wednesday, so he’ll need to complete some further rehabilitation,” Crow said. [/quote]
Yeah, people who had met him in real life said that he was closer to 193-4cm than whatever the club measurement at any given time said. Which was heartening because he sure as ■■■■ doesn’t move like someone in the 180’s.
This is bad news for Bruiser, will make it difficult to get back into the senior side in 2017 if we are in finals contention.
It will depend too on how Hartley, Brown, Dea and Gleeson are playing, but if the backline is looking stable and able to launch attacks they may be looking for stability rather than re integrating Ambrose into the side.
Very bad luck, given this was looking like a break out year for him, at least he got his contract.
