Following further consultation today, medical staff have ruled Nick Stevens out of Sunday’s round 4 match against West Coast due to a neck injury. Nick had precautionary scans on his neck on Monday afternoon after feeling some discomfort following Saturday’s win against Essendon.

Nick had a further consultation on Tuesday in relation to the injury and again today to determine the extent of the injury and his availability to play this weekend.

As a result of these consultations it has been decided that he will not play on Sunday.

Nick travelled to Sydney this afternoon for further consultation and the results of this consultation will be available tomorrow afternoon, Thursday April 19th, at which time Nick and the Club will hold a media conference at MC Labour Park.

Please note Nick or Club representatives will not be available to make further comment until the media conference tomorrow afternoon when the results of this consultation are available.
