Retired David Armitage

[Kildonan]

Armitage returned from injury to play R4 v Collingwood:

Richo said that Armitage got really tight later in the game in his groin and had to be assisted off.

I think that he's now very low chance to play next week

Hope its not OP. That can drag a player down for ages.

 

[Kildonan]

Armo will come back through the VFL (he said it himself on radio) and is 4-6 weeks away from playing at that level I believe.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Hasn't been the year for our man. Hope he can get a decent run at it post bye.

I read somewhere on the AFL site that he may need another operation. Very disappointing for Armo as he is important cog in the Saints midfield in my opinion. Hopefully he will be back and ready to play towards the end of the year as we will need him if we are going to make the finals this year.

After Armos second operation he is running now but still probably 4weeks away from playing . I think we have really missed him this season. He would have been very handy to take pressure off Jack with his experience and skill. He is a very good mid when he's fit and healthy something he hasn't been at all this season . So far I think he's only played 4 games this year and then he could hardly run.

'It's a bit indefinite': Saint's return date unknown

Meanwhile, tough midfielder David Armitage is listed as being four weeks away from a groin injury.

"Dave's started running and is training well. (He's) probably still four weeks away from returning to footy but it's encouraging to see him running laps of the oval here at Seaford," Cox said.

Hopefully Armo is only a couple weeks away from resuming playing at vfl level . He would be a bonus for us if he can get fit enough and in form if we make the finals although who we would drop will be difficult unless we have an injury to another mid . If we do have a mid out injured he would be a great player to bring in .

Armo big chance of playing this week in the vfl , we have missed him all year , he has virtually missed all the year . He played a couple games earlier but was hardly able to run.

I reckon it's been a while since he donned Sandy colours...

Hope he's back in the side ASAP.

Might be at the cost of a fan favourite though.

 

[JG22]

Will be on managed minutes, think he might only play a half.

A couple more weeks you'd reckon before he's really in the mix

He's back...

He played well for the game time he had except he accidentally fell across Freemans leg injuring him. Armo will play more minutes next week . The time he played was a reminder how much we have missed him this year.

St Kilda star David Armitage wont play again this season due to the persistent groin issue that has plagued his year.

Is there any confidence that he will return to AFL next season?

No we don't do confidence anymore on this forum.
If Jade Gresham stubs his toe, that's it.... He's cooked.

Just to be serious for a minute though, Armitage has more issues than just a stubbed toe.

Seems like a pretty severe issue. More of a breakdown than an impact injury isn't it.

I'm hopeful we get to see him at his best again. It's been such a steep decline since his awesome season in 2015

The team is so much better with a fit David Armitage. We have missed him this year.
The only upside is that his absence has given some of the young guys some opportunities to shine.
Hopefully David can break back into the team next season.

Yeah he has a groin problem.
Its hard to say how long it will go on.
