Raphael Clarke - grade 1 hamstring, to be assessed
Robert Eddy - ankle arthroscope, to be assessed
Sam Fisher - ankle arthroscope, 3-5 weeks
Jesse Smith - ankle, to be assessed
Jack Steven - sprained mid foot, to be assessed
And here's why a supporter who takes what the club says in good faith will have a completely misleading picture of what's happening with the players they care about:
- Raph played well for Sandy on the weekend, as published in a major newspaper, so why are we still "assessing" his hamstring?
- Eddy was named emergency for the seniors and flew to Sydney with them, which seems reckless if we were still assessing his ankle.
- Dempster didn't play for Sandy but he's not named as injured so that means he's outside our best 30. Guess he'll be delisted at the end of the year.
- Winmar and Miles also didn't play for Sandy so that puts them right at the bottom of quality rankings for our senior listed players, with Leigh Fisher ahead of them. Unless one or both of them are injured.
- Rookies Simpkin, McGrath, Hutchings, Gaertner didn't play for Sandy so presumably they're all not good enough. Or maybe injured. Who knows?
What complete and utter crap from St Kilda. Why bother publishing an injury list if it's going to blatantly mislead those fans stupid enough to care about what's happening at the club?
There's no way that other clubs believe this for a second, so it's only fans who are misled. Why alienate us like that?
