At his age and with the impact it has had on him, he’s even struggling to run a lap at the moment.”

Another of Stevens’ former teammates in Leigh Montagna also voiced his concern, saying the midfielder was “really battling” to do simple day-to-day chores.

“I have spoken to him and it is a concern — a 26, 27-year-old young man that’s still got his life ahead of him, who’s really struggling to even do any form of exercise at the moment,” Montagna told Fox Sports News’ AFL Tonight.

Koby will miss the rest of 2018 with concussion

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/sai ... _sport_afl

St Kilda's horror year with concussion has continued with Koby Stevens to miss the remainder of 2018 due to ongoing symptoms of the condition, while young forward Paddy McCartin will wear a helmet in his return from his seventh concussion since 2014.

Coach Alan Richardson told reporters on Friday that Stevens would not play again this season, the news coming only a day after Maverick Weller was ruled out of Saturday's clash with Richmond due to concussion suffered at training on Thursday.

"It's been a tough time for Kobe ... this last head knock has really shaken him up a bit," Richardson said.
"He isn't able to exercise at any sort of levels ... so it's still pretty uncertain. We just have to leave that in the hands of the doctors and make sure we support him, and that's what we're doing from a welfare perspective."

And Armo has a hamstring tendon issue (but listed as omitted? And playing this week for Sandy)

The coach also revealed veteran David Armitage has been playing with an injured hamstring tendon for the past month. He was left out of the side to play Richmond.

"We've still needed to play him [Armitage], because he's so good in contest and really creative when he gets the ball, but it's really hindered his ability to get from contest to contest," Richardson said.

"You would've seen a couple of ground balls last week that he just wasn't able to get down on. It's just not working for him and working for us so we needed to make the change."

Armitage only played two games last year and has played six this year. It hasn't been decided if he will play on the VFL on Sunday."


f*** me, when will the club learn not to play injured players.

Some of these kids might just sue the Saints in years to come.

[8bloggs]

Hang on....I thought Armitage was initially "brought back a little bit early" at the start of the season according to the coach, and NOW he has been played with an injured hamstring over the last month because 'we still NEEDED TO PLAY HIM'?
Sounds like poor management blended with a touch of desperation...
