Port have also documented as to having stepped up their physical training more than previous years so maybe correlation there?
You’re so repetitive, our injuries are again mounting as they have been for a consistent time, yes all team have injuries, Essendon are consistently at the poor end and with our most important and often young players. But please keep posting this over and over cos honestly it makes you look more whiny than those complaining about our injuries.

So almost a third of our list either are injured or in rehab?

- Tsatas - (Knee) surgery 8 -10 weeks (aiming for rd 4/5 return)

Our club is cursed and farked BECAUSE another club has an injury.
Should we ignore the recent underperformance of our medical/fitness department - as was clearly highlighted in the internal/external reviews - because other clubs also get injuries?
IMO, we need to set the bar higher than ‘but this other club had it worse!’.
7 wins doesn’t look like too bad if we only compare it to how North went.
I don’t reckon Dees win a flag with our medical department.

Just looked through the injury list of all the clubs. Numerically we have many more the number of any other clubs injured. And probably talent wise as well. This is the case every pre-season. Can’t be bad luck.

Wright, Wiederman and Hind should be fully fit next week. That doesn’t look too bad to me.

Yes, but we have a whole week to arrange replacements for them.

They will be back for a moment or two then rested again.
Thankfully most of our injuries are minor; the concern I have is how reliant we are on Wright & BZT atm.
He doesn’t get talked about much, but a fit Stewart would actually be really handy backup right about now.

Where did you find them?
I’m convinced it’s years of not training hard enough. The standard of our games shows that.
Always second to the ball, can’t run out games etc.
