that's a bit optimistic from the sounds of things ...

"McIntosh has achilles surgery"
[from afl.com.au website] - part quotes:

NORTH Melbourne ruckman Hamish McIntosh will be sidelined for six to eight weeks following surgery on his right achilles tendon on Wednesday.

Club director of medical services Steve Saunders confirmed that the "minor operation" had gone to plan.

However, it isn't clear how much of the season McIntosh could miss in his recovery.

anyone going Goldstein now??

[dylsta05]

ill have to see how he recovers and how he starts the season

[BoredSaint]

gone...

[McRooster]

Is Majak Daw the answer? Not as a direct replacement but does he now come into calculation or too many other young roos hopping for a chance?

[Alex7089]

Not touching him with that injury, and I won't consider him until next season, most likely.

I am going to go with Sandi, second ruck I'll need to think about.

[MTTY]

Wasnt really considering him with the Roos usually playing 3 guys that can play ruck the injury made me even more certain

[j959]

Whatever the original time-frame for his return was ... push it back again!
