SOLOMON KNEE FEAR
Friday, March 22, 2002

"Star Essendon defender Dean Solomon could be sidelined for season 2002 after suffering what appeared to be a serious knee injury during the VFL practice match at Victoria Park this afternoon. A scan sometime tomorrow is expected to confirm the Bombers' worst fears. Solomon's knee gave way when he was changing direction while running at the ball just prior to half-time. He left the ground immediately."

Damn, that's a real shame. We really needed him to put in a big year this year, given Hardwick's departure. Lets hope its not as bad as first thought. The story also said:

"Paul Salmon also came from the ground just prior to half-time with calf tightness. "He just felt restricted by it and we didn't want to take any risks with him," Essendon football manager Matthew Drain said. Salmon is still expected to be fit to take on Geelong in the season-opener in eight days time.

Essendon led the VFL practice match by 29-points early in the third quarter"

Just what we need - no Ruckman for round 1, and a depleted defence. Great start!

bolton in no.23
spencer wore no.23
Who is the comedian @ Essendon ?
No offence Peter Cransberg & Rene Kink (I liked both of them)
Grant Fowler wore no.23 as well.I think Essendon actually framed the $60,000 chq hawfforn paid us for him.
