Ye Gods it is! Although I remember Griffen missing a month with one due to internal bleeding. I had a look at the paper following their GWS game - as I always do when we play them the following week - and it said injuries Swallow- corked thigh. This is clearly something much more sinister and misdiagnosed in the post-match injury report.

But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
4 points is 4 points. It is better with them in the bank than in Never Land.
Have a look at what happened to Williamstown on the weekend by underestimating an opponent and resting key players...down the bl**dy loo!
By all means rest anyone who genuinely needs it, and give one or two kids a go [ one for Coons at least] if they have earned it.
But don't assume anyone in this comp. is a sure bet loser. On any given day everyone is beatable.
last year Geelong were too old, too slow ...........and premiers. They have class on every line, to beat them with our developing team would be a remarkable feat.
