How busy will the SURGEONS be? !!

.......In the coming weeks?

Nick Riewoldt. Knee?

Ben McEvoy. Elbow?

I'm guessing that there'd be a couple of shoulders and thumbs as well. Let's hope that they're all done in the next week or two, allowing maximum recovery before pre-season training starts in November !!

Yep, our boys had to have wool surgically removed from their eyes after Lyin's effort

And I hear Mark Harvey had a number of sharp pieces of cutlery oxy cut from his back...

This time of year, surgeons don't make as many appointments, as they know they are going to be busy with players coming in.

Guaranteed (good) money.

I know for a fact that at least 90% have had their surgery done. Most were done end of last week.

if i was coach with a long term view i would have sent riewoldt off to early surgey.

but ross knew all along this was his last year.

if i was coach with a long term view i would have sent riewoldt off to early surgey rather than humiliate him (and get towelled up by duds) while he hobbled around for the last few weeks.

noone except the most die-hard of saints thought we could win the flag this year after our first 8 weeks from hell.

id have riewoldt fully firing early 2012 and have put some games in to tommy walsh..

but ross knew all along this was his last year....
