Armo head knock in fade out against Nth

"That positive performance by some of these young guys coming through has certainly got our skipper excited and wanting to be part of that," Richardson said. Riewoldt pulled up sore late but the coach was confident the star veteran would be fine to face West Coast in Perth, while he said gun onballer David Armitage was only a "bit dazed" by a head knock.
"He got a bit of a whack. He's got a hard head Dave, so it surprises me that he went out (of the game)," Richardson said.
"They're not calling it concussion, he was just a bit dazed, so the doctors saw fit to get him out of the game halfway through the last quarter.
"It was frustrating but we'll never take risks with players, particularly with head knock … where there's a bit of grey or a bit of uncertainty."
Correct......Surely he would have got a free if an opponent hit him high.
Great stat JB. Would have thought the record for #20 would be more than 140.Armitage played his 140th game on Saturday against Carlton.
In doing so he became the player to wear the #20 the most times in the club's history.
He broke the long standing record of 3 times club champion Jim Ross. (1946-1954).
Armitage: We want to finish well
If the Saints are going to finish off the season well and build momentum into the pre-season, they must produce four quarters off effort across the final two games against Richmond and Brisbane, says star midfielder David Armitage.
Armitage, 28, was St Kilda’s most influential player in Saturday night’s 70-point loss to Sydney, finishing with team-highs for possessions (29), contested possessions (13) and clearances (seven), as well as six tackles and 59.3 pressure points.
“We want to finish off well, we can’t dish up what we did in the second half against any team, otherwise you get found out. We’ll be looking to play our way for four quarters and not just a half,” Armitage toldsaints.com.au on Saturday night.

Pretty clear from reading the below article that he wasn't able to run and spread like he was last year, as a result of a severely interrupted preseason and lack of fitness. Was an encouraging last few weeks of the season from him tho.Whatever has been wrong with Armo
