Riewoldt is back running at full pace, and is believed to have kicked long distances at high intensity this week.

A big month lies ahead, with Riewoldt needing to test the hamstring with sudden lateral movement, but he is well ahead of schedule

>>>>>>>>>>>>St Kilda chief executive Michael Nettlefold has made it clear the club will not risk Riewoldt's long-term fitness.

The club says his conditioning and strength in the tendon will dictate his return, not any pre-ordained date.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Former North Melbourne half-back Jesse Smith has played three games in the VFL after hamstring and ankle injuries and is gaining fitness and confidence.

That's the best news I've read in awhile. I wonder if he keeps this up whether they will bring him back after the break against the cats? I notice that Josh Gibson is listed as 4-5 weeks away. 4 weeks would have taken him the game after the break.

Just the news I love to hear! Good to hear about Jesse Smith too, I just hope that talking about him wasn't just a filler for the article, I got a little overexcited about him last night and put him in my SC team this year, Jesse that is. Hopefully he can break into the team after the break and never look back!
