Balmy saying Rusty could be back this week if he passes fitness test...will be a big in for us...has been sorely missed.
hopefully his thumb has healed enough.
Does anyone know how they do a fitness test on a thumb??

When the two boys came at 2009 draft it was Rusty (Steele) & Laser (Beams)

That was always the aim, get back by the Richmond game.
Back in 1990, Matthews fitness-tested Millane's thumb by tossing him a football... to his healthy hand. 
But I think testing would probably have improved since then, though...

He has had that nickname since junior footy days.
Most people around Shepp refer to him as Rusty.

thumb wrestle |
You are given 100 thumb tacks, a pin board and a time limit.

If we really wanted to do a fitness test on him I can suggest an arm wrestle with a guy I played footy with. This guy won the World Championship in Las Vegas for arm wrestling. That would test it. Funny thing is this guy, Nick never went to a gym. Just spent years working in a quarry in Melbourne.
Or we could do the 1990 Millane test and get him to arm wrestle Nick with his good hand.

This from Twitter

Notes from Pies training: Cloke stayed back after session to work on set shots, Sidebottom (thumb) still struggling to grip the footy.
