    I don't think anyone was complaining about the injuries, it was a discussion point. When a quarter of your list is out and mostly senior players it is inevitable you will have young players picked before their time.

    If it is a concern and we don't want to discuss injuries, then I won't be bothered with the injury thread in 2019.

    Discussing injuries is a good topic, we should be fleshing out why we are copping a high level of injuries when other clubs are managing it better.
    I do however, struggle when after a loss the first explanation being offered up is "the other mob are older and have played more games".
    To me its all about the endeavour displayed and at times I think that was significantly more of an issue than how many games each 22 have played.

    On the positive side we've cleared out some of the distracted players over the last two years so I'm hoping we can focus more about how we play than injuries and experience of the 22 selected.

    No serious injuries please. Liam Picken 2016 Finals Version, ditto Tory Dickson/Tom Boyd, Libber to play every game and get under the opposition's skin. I want more Rhyce Shaw moments. Josh Schase to become a gun sharp shooting mobile headache for the opposition. Richards, Naughton, Gowers, Crozier, Lipinski, English to build, Lewis Young to fulfill his potential, Mitch Wallis to play every game and be the bloke who can kick goals, be a tagger or a Matty Boyd type defender, Bailey Williams and Bailey Dale to have big years. Especially Dale. I rate him as a very clever player. Caleb Daniel to play that 'distributor' role so well again when he plays down back, Toby McLean to kick MORE goals, Lachie Hunter to win the Brownlow, Susan Alberti to be our next Governor General - I could keep going but I think you've got the picture.
