THE SYDNEY Swans’ preparations for the 2008 season have hit a snag with ruckman Peter Everitt in serious doubt for the club's season opener against St Kilda because of a knee injury.
The Swans start the season proper against the Saints on March 22 at Telstra Dome and Everitt has been listed as being out for up to six weeks with a knee complaint before the opening match against his old club.
The 33-year-old played every match in his first season for the Swans last year, coming sixth in the best and fairest count, as the club finished seventh following back-to-back grand final appearances.
The Swans will field an inexperienced line-up for their NAB Cup match against Hawthorn in Launceston on Sunday.
