[Capper]

[Mailman the 2nd]

That's really bad news he was looking like one of the best young defenders in the comp

[My Chumps]

Yep, shattering. Another 12 months? Or sooner?

[Mailman the 2nd]

I'm assuming another 12 months  :'(

Considering that probably means Rampe's spot is secure, do you think we'll keep Alex?

I mean once he comes back around 2015, i reckon the other blokes will probably have developed to a stage where there's no spot for him once he heals up.

they havent ruled out the LARS yet, so could be back next year.

most def a required player. Mattner gone, Richards, LRT, Shaw and Eski all pushing or over 30. Plenty of room in our defense over the next 2-3 years

Surely they will hang on to AJ and he can make a full recovery

[My Chumps]

Yeah, surely we've gotta keep AJ. Or at least I hope so :(

Cmon Rooster!!!

interesting ... how old is Johnno? even with this being the 2nd go i thought he'd go the 'traditional' cos I thought he's still only ~22-23yrs or so?

[Capper]

yeah he is only 21

Interesting that he will have another graft along side the other one, so he will have 2??

Goodes cooked for 2013??

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-08-22/no-goodes

I really hope not. Cant see us beating Hawks at the G without Goodes. Even if he was 50% as we saw last GF he is too good to leave anyone but the best defender on him.

good signs for the Rooster though

One of those set to take on the Cats is Gary Rohan, who will feature in his second straight game following his long layoff with his broken leg.

Longmire said the fleet-footed youngster is a chance to be part of his starting 21, rather than spending another week in the substitute's vest.

"We'd like to get some more game time into him this week if we could," Longmire said.
