this isn't gospel, however milney was in the race last week and he said by as much by indicating that he was still another week away.
it was a fairly serious strain to his ACL from what i gather and as has been the way this season there is very much a softly-softly conservative approach.
dunno anything about gilbo but milno may miss this week on the basis of him suggesting that he is still "one week" away.

I thought Milne was a PCL not ACl. Significant difference

A PCL is not good either, a ML would be better news

A F.I.T would be better.

Yep, I think it's the old strained medial. We have a bit of history of these, in GFs in particular. Darrel Baldock had one in the '66 GF and he had little influence on the game except when it counted in the last ten minutes and Robert Harvey had one in the '97 GF, but still had 36 disposals and yet was criticised by morons for not having a greater effect on the game.

During the Brisbane game Ricky Olarenshaw said that Milney had a Medial injury based on the type of taping he had on his knee.

I would think based on that, that he will be rested unitl after the break, giving him 4 weeks off.

I heard something quickly on SEN - Ross Lyon interviewed saying that Gilbert/Milne got through training but depended on how they pulled up as to selection.

That GF had a lot to do with how Baldock's opponent played. Collingwood's Ted Potter was the first player to regularly contain Baldock because he was willing to sacrifice his own game for his team.
Pryor of Essendon did likewise.
I think they could be described as football's first hard taggers.

^^^ would think that means they're in. (heopfully) great news!

If any doubt give them a one week break which means two weeks given the split round.

And if they as fit as most footballers this time of year which I would guess is about 90% then play them.

Is that like you told Kingy to book a holiday on friday........LAST WEEK. They were always going to be picked after the team gets announced!!!!!!!!!RIGHT Once again I believe your next message will be along the lines of your other 17700000001 messages, encouraging, positive, well informed, witty & with a touch of commradship to a fellow saints supporter. When travelling around this great country of ours the best thing for me is when I happen to meet another saints supporter and we acknowledge we have the same passion I just hope your white letter fever is confined this place and you would be akin to the other people I have had the pleasure to meet on my travels

Dont get me wrong I am always up for a laugh, but not at someone else expense unless I know them really well.
