and so it begins/continues

[saint patrick]

Baker.......big loss!

An understatement!!!

The curse continues

Have to play the Geary's,Allen's,Eddy's,McEnvoy's and Ferguson's now.

[BelfastSaint]

and so it begins/continues

Its really not the end of the world ........ not our best or most in form players at the moment ...
Time now perhaps to give some new faces a bit of a run ...
There are always positives to come out of a bad situation like this ....

[esaint66]

F**K ME !!!!!!!

Why does this always happen?

[wolfpup]

hmmmm

well the young players have to step up, lets remain positive

good oppurtunity for gwilt and others to slot in.

[Dan Warna]

disgraceful wishing injury on st kilda players.

Im pretty sure given goose an extended period he would have settled back into senior form.

and baker is a massive loss.

[Saintschampions08]

Possibly career ending injuries, for both. Terrible news, especially feel for Goose.

Takes a while to get back to form from serious injuries, makes it even worse that he hasn't played much since '06.
If he came back in '09, you couldn't expect him to hit any form till late 2009 or early 2010, and thats assuming he has a perfect road to recovery.

Bakes appeared to have lost some speed, and a year out with a knee injury won't help. Will be nearing 30 by the time he gets back, and if we don't have a great year this year, will their be enough incentive to play on.

[milney044]

It's frustrating for us but imagine the devistation for the players. All this work from goose to get back on track, bakes spending 7 weeks on the sidelines aching to get back in the action and now they're both out for the year. It would be shattering for any player to go through, let alone these two. Hang in there guys, all the best.

How did Baker injure himself?

Does he have grounds to sue the AFL for that bulshit decision, forcing him to miss 5 weeks and thus not be as physically fit as the rest of the AFL....Which led to serious injury?????

[Saint_in_SA]

Maguire - Breaks in his foot. Season.

Baker - Just forgot but 10 weeks+.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

I hope that now we have a few out injured, Ross and his match committee take some risks in the short term and play the kids. Allen has been in form in the 2's and could take Maguires spot and Geary can come in for Bakes... certainly not all doom and gloom. Find is frustrating to see that Armo has been the only one to be given a chance.

For the sake of the future, McEvoy MUST come in ahead of Rix if anything untoward happens to our usual rucks.

you cant be serious

[Bernard Shakey]

Bakes carried that injury into the game.
You should have seen him at training last Tuesday. Could hardly run.

I thought it was a corkey. Obviously not.

Sadly, I think he is.

[Winmarvellous]

Not the end of the world. Goose has struggled big time, and I think the game may have passed his physical style by while on the sidelines. Was always a few steps behind since returning, and we can't afford that at the moment, especially with our game style. Bakes...hmmmm....can play a blinder, but too slow to go in the midfield anymore. Doesn't get a lot himself...maybe it is time to play the kids, and see what they've got.

[Armoooo]

That is a shame, two blokes that always give their all, this is upsetting

4 forced outs already, we really can't afford for Kosi to get suspended

I think so as well.

[Eastern]

Be POSITIVE sainters.

Whilst we all feel for the guys that are injured, adversity creates opportunity !!

[mad saint guy]

While it's shocking news for the players, I don't think it will hurt the team much, if at all.

Goose hasn't been up to AFL level since 2005 and we're probably better off playing Geary than Bakes. The Gilbert injury is looking quite costly, but it also gives a chance for Ferguson or Gwilt to have a go in the seniors.

[4ever_saint]

And in the past it hasn't really achieved that though. love the optomism but the only thing that will really help us out is if scans tomorrow disprove what was said on SEN. we dont need anymore setbacks.

[robsaint]

We will now potentialy have no:
Kosi - if charge holds up
Roo
Goose
Max
X-Man
Baker

Now the challenge is there for the players who remain to show what they are made of.

We still have a more than capable midfield

No an unpredictable forward line.

And most of all the opportunity for new inclusions to make a name for themselves.

[AlpineStars]

Can we put them on long term injury list and bring up rookies? 1 or 2? not sure. If so doe's anyone have info on our rookies/ Maybe Ferg Jones and a couple others will be given a few games to prove themselves.
