Gardiner out According to Ross (no surprise)

[SaintWodonga]

‎"Michael Gardiner is out, which is no doubt disappointing. He has been crucial to our structure all year and the whole season is made up of every player, not just those 22 who play on the day" - Ross Lyon.

Even though I knew this was coming still so sad for Gardi

Interesting that he refers to how important he is to our structure.

Does this mean we would be looking to maintain that by bringing in McEvoy rather than another runner/midefielder? Not long till we find out I guess! Hoping Big Ben gets a game this week.

The scans showed a tear.

So no way will he play in a GF irrespective of how he might train or feel this week. Moreso as we will only play one ruck again.

Gardiner injured his hamstring in the Grand Final and his coach Ross Lyon today officially ruled him out of contention to play.

I think he will give it away. However I think his warrants selection for 2011.
