TUESDAY was a bizarre day at St Kilda Football Club.

It began with off-field drama following Paddy McCartin around before the news that Koby Stevens would be out “indefinitely” with delayed concussion.

Having woken up in Geelong alongside his girlfriend Lucy Brownless, McCartin walked outside to see his car had been stolen.

The duo notified the police and hired a car to return to their house in Armadale.

But it went from bad to worse when they arrived home to see their house had been broken into and trashed.

It’s understood drawers were left open but nothing substantial was stolen. Neither Brownless or McCartin were hurt and nor did they see the criminals.

McCartin came into the club, trained and was in good spirits despite his rough morning.

The police are investigating both incidents and it is unknown if they are linked.

As for Stevens, his concussion symptoms had lingered ever since Round 1.

The midfielder copped a knock to his head in the second JLT match, and received another one in Round 1 against Brisbane.

The club was unaware of any problems he was having as he went on to collect 19 disposals against North Melbourne on Good Friday.

But still, his symptoms of dizziness and lack of concentration did not subside. With his spot in the team no certainty, Stevens tried to push through but eventually let the Saints know that he was struggling to cope in the lead-up to Round 4

Sources close to the on-baller say he now concedes he should have been more open with the medical staff earlier to look after his health.

It’s unclear when he will return to play, but the club will take an ultra-cautious approach.

“As is normal practice, Koby won’t return to training until the symptoms have subsided and he’s given the all clear from our doctors,” Football boss Simon Lethlean said.

“While we can’t put a timeframe on that, he’ll continue to work closely with our conditioning and medical teams over the next few weeks and complete the necessary tests.”

The former Western Bulldogs and West Coast midfielder was involved in a heavy head knock with young Demon Angus Brayshaw in Round 21 last season.

Despite missing the rest of that game with concussion, Stevens played the next week.

All this occurred just two days after Dylan Roberton collapsed against Geelong and was taken to hospital with a heart rhythm condition.

Roberton was released on Monday evening and is recovering, although it’s highly unlikely he will play before Round 7 at the earliest.
