Jay Schulz, who has been restricted to two games this season because of a broken ankle, yesterday had his return to the seniors threatened when he injured his right ankle in a training incident. Schulz had his ankle caught under the body of a player in a tackle and later received scans to ascertain the extent of the injury.

Richmond football operations manager Paul Armstrong said yesterday the scan results were expected today but the club was confident Schulz had no serious damage.

Many Richmond supporters also ask about the development of our second and third-year players, and question whether they have made natural improvement this season. The best answer I can give to this is that the bar has lifted and we have not been prepared to give senior games to players, unless they have had the form to deserve them. Last year, the Club decided, in the latter stages, to blood some of these young players and give them a taste of AFL football. This was the correct decision, but they also need to respect the fact that you must earn the right to play at AFL level. We have been a little unlucky at times as players such as Schulz, Moore, Hartigan, Gilmour and, of course, Rodan, have all had major injury interruptions throughout this year. Andrew Raines continues to progress in the right direction, while our two rookies - Will Thursfield and Nathan Foley - have both won promotion and had a taste of senior football this season. They will be vying for a spot on the senior list at the end of the year . . .

The next area of development for us is key-position, taller players. I see Schulz and Pattison being long-term projects in this region, but we will still need to find others for long-term success.
