Armitage Injury

[saintkid]

Anyone know where Armo is at with his knee injury and when his expected return is?
Watching last night I believe we are one hard midfielder short in our quest for this year's Premiership. If he can get himself right and match fit, still reckon this kid can play a big role in September.

Did his medial again. More surgery, more rehab. Most like going to be his year over. Sandy only have 4 or so more games for the rest of the year, and arn't going to make finals at this rate.

So he is having more surgery?

Can Steven play midfield? There's something about him that I can't quite pinpoint that marks him as a player with a big future.

Yes. He is a midfielder, and he will end up there.

I really like the fact that he has genuine leg speed, and can reach top speed in a few steps. I think he needs to work on making sure his kicks hit their targets though. Apart from that, he does everything you could ask for. Chases, tackles, wins the ball, 1%'s, kicks goals.

Jack has got a lot of up side but this year he lacks a bit of physical strength compared to where Armo was at before his knee injury.

He doesn't appear to lack strength to me.

A guy who worked with me coached jack down Geelong way, he was also a Geelong supporter who reckons Geelong were very peeved we picked him up, they rated him as one of the most promising youngsters they had seen... I think he will end up a gun player....

Is it the fact he is a similar size and runs with a similar action as Dane Swan??? The running styles are uncanny IMO.
