Surgery for Maxfield
On a less brighter note, former club captain Stuart Maxfield needs to have Surgery for his knee injury, thus ruling him out of playing his 300th game this season.
According to The Age article - Surgery for Maxfield Maxfield will miss only one or two months.
Maxfield has not played since Sydney's round-six clash with West Coast, after which scans revealed a stress fracture in his left knee. It was hoped the injury would keep Maxfield sidelined for only between four and six weeks, but club doctor Nathan Gibbs said yesterday the surgery was now necessary or the season would be over before the injury settled.
Hopefully he can get back for the end of the season, but I think its time he calls it a day, because even before this injury his lack of form was hurting the club more than it was helping us. So lets hope he can get back to full health, play a few games towards the end of the season and we as a club can reward him a send off worthy of any club great that has gone before him. It's just a pity he would have to go out that way if he decides to go that way.
