#29 Patrick Ambrose -- forward or back?

When he arrived he was listed at 191.

Iirc his old VFL listing was 185cm

Lol. Guess we’ve changed tape measures a few times over the years then!

Reinjured. Don’t hold your breath.

[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]

Seems like it will be a 10 week injury - This will be his 6th match injured.

I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of Crammers.

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.

Ambrose last played on Anzac Day - Will not return until after the bye.

That’s weird, same thing happened to stew when he went from vfl to rookie list.

Wowee.

They take the conservative route with him, and give the extra week.

And then he does it again pressing for selection at training when finally let loose.

Not good at all.

Send in the top 5 pick

There is a real chance he won’t be back at all this year. It is an injury that can take 10-12 weeks even without re-injuring.

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.

Getting him right for 2018 may be the focus.

BOOOOO
