Goodes out?

Is this true does anyone know. I heard Goodes is out for the rest of the season, what a terrible blow for him and the Swans. How long before the AFL catches on and changes the rules for Ruckmen. That's McDonald, Gardiner, Primus, Goodes and I'm sure there is a few others.

2-6 weeks is what I heard. So Adam is one of the lucky ones.

Methinks you're right, the Michael Holding run-ups could soon be a thing of the past. The 'outer circle' you saw in the pre-season comp will most likely be in for the real thing next year.

"2-6 weeks is what I heard".

Yep that's what I'm hearing here in his home town. You will not see him competing in a centre bounce again though. Why risk someone so valuable?

Have since heard the news in full - but thanks. Glad it's only 2 - 6 weeks and can totally understand Roos not using him in the ruck again - far too valuable for Sydney.

Personally I don't think they should wait til next year but should change the rule now - we may not have any ruckmen left by next year!

And it comes back to the AFL not allowing the Primus style ruck wrestle. Did they not think that this would cause more injuries???
