Another one.

I cant confirm this myself but hearing alot about Silvagni being hospitalised due to having a reaction to a minor medical procedure.  It was apparently on the news (which I missed tonight).

Will try to find out more

[Cicjose]

I have yet to find any merit to this rumor

Just saw a tweet from Freo

Silvagni treated for stomach infection

And on facebook

Fremantle defender Alex Silvagni is being treated for a stomach infection.  He was admitted to hospital yesterday, and tests to determine the nature of the infection are ongoing.  It is anticipated that his stay in hospital will be brief.

Also just added to Freo website

sounds like he may miss only one round

[valkorum]

This could mean that Faulks will play while Silvagni is out.

[Cicjose]

it would be nice to have a backline of:

Silvagni Grover Faulks
Suban Mcpharlin Mzungu

it would be nice to have a backline of:

Silvagni Grover Faulks
Suban Mcpharlin Mzungu

I think that is too tall.  I reckon you can only have 3 out of Elvis, Grover, SNOS and Guy

So how are you guys feeling as we kick off for round 1?

Valk, Cic, Barlow? Not the best injury list, a big season to consolidate on from last year - feeling confident of a top 4 finish? Is the dream of a flag in 2011 real or too ambitious?

[Cicjose]

Im not looking forward to the start but this is a marathon not a sprint

[valkorum]

I am always excited about a new season of footy.  I think our injury list will hurt us early on but we can have a good season and finish 5th - 8th.

[Cicjose]

top 4 would be achievable if we had 90% of our first 21 fit with less than 5 injuries throughout the squad
