Every staff member needs to be replaced not just the main bloke
How surprising re: Guelfi.
What a rabble.

I know every team has injuries but our rehab group in pre-season is always the biggest

Out of interest, did the review have any findings regarding chronic injuries? Any actions? I know there was chatter about possibly hard surface at The Hangar being reviewed but don’t know outcome. Feels like it’s a burning issue that wasn’t addressed publicly.

With this injury trend at least it’s re-assuring that injuries look like being able to be trotted out as excuse once Essendon probably go 1 win, 5 losses in the first 6.
It’s what we do best.
He’s 17 in those clips FFS. He’s clearly got some size in his shoulders and arms. Kids dont have to jacked to not be considered a beanpole.
If they never test it, they never have to spend huge coin ripping up the ovals, resurfacing them and embarassing themselves all over again 
What did we finish on last year? Was 20 odd iirc?
Harley Reid must be getting closer to joining us by the day with all these injuries.
Can you please share the list of rehab group size for each team? Really interested to see it.

Its a venn diagram of medical, conditioning, rehab, coaching (raining loads and recovery).
Any if these areas make bad calls compromises all.
My best guess is that club put profit as a higher priority than best staffing for not just coaching but all the above areas.
Meaning incorrect loads on youngsters and older players (most prone to injury). Rehab lacking (returns to play lacking pre-injury conditioning) so increased risk re-injury. Add some poor mefical decisions i.e. surgery when not needed or delay on needed surgery and voila… Essington level issues arise

A bit has been said earlier about previous talls coming back from development; like the Madden’s etc, I’ll add another Wallis; but, my concern is that present day too much emphasis is placed on weight training; and this could be why so many young growing bodies are having stress injuries.
Guelfi injured eh? Well sound the alarm.
Not an exhaustive list, but every club is having the odd injury.
Other teams have injuries?
Really?
Thought it was just us.
we’re probably the worst out of that article. port dint look great either. its not a very comprehensive article though, doesn’t even mention jones, stringer or hind so doubt its very accurate
the majority of those injuries from other teams are guys coming off surgery in the off season.
sydney have 3 injuries this pre season. we have had 3 in a week.
