Advised Matty Knights today at training that he's ready to go.

Bit late, mate, but good try!

I can't wait for this guy to get some luck. I think the emergance of Pears,Hurley and neagle will take a lot of the pressure off him and allow him to focus on becoming the gun we need.

Noticed him on the front page of the Age sport on Monday in the background behind Lloyd wearing full training gear, so figured he was training.
I thought it was the best news to come out of the week.

Able to do a full preseason and hit next year hard.

Wouldn't surprise me if he ended up there now that Hurley looks like making CHF his own.

Ryder and Gumby in the ruck and switching forward... I like!

He rucked a bit for Bendigo in his first year and was competetive.

f*** it, bring him in this week!

Out: Ryder In: GUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBY

He might not be match fit but he'll still get around the ground better than the big Bell. Tall, long arms, big leap. Would completely throw a spanner in the Crows' plans.

Lets not get a still relatively underdeveloped tall, with a history of back problems and bring him back for his first game in almost 2 years and put him in the ruck to get smashed into continually.

He might just decide that he is better off, being injured and off the park.

Don't worry, I was taking the piss.

That said, if the docs say he's right and he's participating in full contact training then why the hell not? Plenty of time to recover before pre-season starts again.
