Riewoldt - Scan
A lot of apparent hide and seek Roo and his scan - knee
Club according to SEN said he was going to be at a Club announcement re Seaford when Roo was booked in for scan and was never going to be a show at the Seaford announcement.
fingers crossed re the scan!!!

Same thing when Joey had a scan on his elbow. St Kilda have been renowned this year for trying to keep the media at bay and not offering anything up for nothing. With the behaviour of the media this year in particular, I can't say I blame the club. With finals coming up, we need to keep our cards close to our chest.
The little parasite Hutchy would be on it. Would have been waiting out the front of his house this morning and followed him as soon as he left the driveway.

I hate to be the pessimist here, but Lyon said it was corky. From what Roo was clutching at, and from how he appeared to be impaired, I'm not sure how it could have been a cork. I mean what's to cork in your knee? Just hope it ain't a posterior, even mild...

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

But the clubs been notorious for hiding everything even close to an injury this year, and more or less since RL has come to the club.

Let's hope so. Like I said, I hate being the pessimist...

Probably just precaution which is good management and perhaps a weeks reat
The way he finished off the game says it all. Scans are precautionary and will probably get a weeks rest. Good time to test MacGuire.

He always takes a week to get going after a breather. For that reason I don't want him rested. better he plays at 80% on reduced game time I reckon. If it's feasible/realistic that is...

I believe it may be MacGuire or McEvoy in to replace him. Hope it is MacGuire. Think he would slot into this spot well if needed. Would like to see what he has got to offer before the finals.bigcarl wrote:bj to ff?saint75 wrote:Probably just precaution which is good management and perhaps a weeks reat

i'd go with bj as our main avenue to goal in riewoldt's absence, but that's just me.saint75 wrote:I believe it may be MacGuire or McEvoy in to replace him. Hope it is MacGuire.

Fair Dinkum, is it worth bothering with Goose at this stage of the season?
I was in favour of a "charity" type apprearance for his 100th game, but the North game would've been a good vehicle for that IMO.....we need players in the side against Melbourne that realistically have a chance of playing finals footy, and I'd bet my house that Goose is not part of the plan for this season. By all means bring back the Big Mac, as he's shown form over several games.
Would unsettle the team too much to push him up forward IMHO. I would prefer to give MacGuire a run next week to see what he has to offer. It would be better to try him now to see what he can bring to the table in a no pressure game that if we lose it won't make a difference to September.
Make no mistake though, it would be a very high pressure game for MacGuire as he will want to save his spot on the St Kilda list. He will want to show his value to both the Saints coaching panel and other potential AFL teams (if he does get delisted next year). If he plays and can show his versatility (in that he can play forward as well as back), it will work in his favour and may also be another ace up our sleeve for September.

Isn't Goose injured?
And if not, what's he done to deserve a game?

I think it would be worth a shot next week in a game that means nothing in regards to the finals. May add an extra dimension to the team that was not there otherwise, especially if Nick is out for a week or 2.
Can't see the harm considering we would have to be sitting in a circle in the middle of the ground and refuse to participate in the match before Melbourne would throw away their priority pick!

Be nice to get a result on the scan first wouldn't it?
I am still surprised Roo would remain on the ground and launch into a 50-55 metre shot at goal if this was a major issue.
Might need to be looked after through the week and injected with something on game day, but unless it is very serious he just needs to be out there at this time of year.
Don't care too much about the loss yesterday, but losing Roo would be devastating news.

nick on sen
Nick just spoke to Mark Doran and said his leg feels a little sore but fine.
Scan for precautionary purposes but he would be very surprised if any problems, expects to play against Dees this Sunday
