Livewire utility Gary Moorcroft will miss two weeks of football after having minor surgery on his left elbow today. Moorcroft had floating bone removed from the joint. ""It has been a problem for him for a while and we thought it was better to get it sorted out now rather than later,"" Essendon football manager Matthew Drain said. ""It has been more of a discomfort for him than anything else. It is only a minor setback. He won't be missing for long."" Moorcroft played in a back pocket for Essendon against Sydney last weekend and was one of the best players in the first half.
