Itās concerning these injures are happening, but not sure why this even gets reported. Iām sure similar is happening at the 17 other clubs but itās not really mentioned. Maybe the club could keep the minor injures under wraps a bit better, would help with limiting the pile on a bit.

And maybe match day results could be surpressed and we could all pretend that Essendon are undefeated every season?

Does Kyle have a hardened body? Look at Jack Gunston for example.
Good, one more big scoop of the draft, get rid of Brad and then itās Go Time from 2027.
I can live with that.

We have to start planning for life without Ridley, Parish and Langford ( Clearly the club is doing this now). Their bodies are cooked and will never be able to run out seasons. Would almost be happy to de-list them and move on ( I know theyāre contracted).

This wonāt apply to the hangar.
But the MCG puts down some different grass over Summer for the cricket seasonā¦ donāt know grass specifics, just that it stays greener in the heat, and it does grip more.
Potentially has an impact on early season/pre season injuries, on the ground.

Well, not good news, although the Martin update was expected. At least itās only November, which for optimists means there is time for recovery, but for pessimists (ie. Blitz) simply a precursor. Team spots for the kiddies
Looks like it is another gap year coming up for captain contiki Brad Scott.

Heās still trying to workout his best team.
Going into his 4th season.
Great point
This needs to be raised at the AGM
The prudent approach ā and what some other more successful clubs often do ā is to manage these types of players so they donāt have to play the entire season. When youāre playing every week at the speed the modern game demands, especially with recurring soft-tissue injuries, proper management becomes essential as players get older. Imagine how valuable it would be to have these blokes fully available for the eg some big games, while giving them timely rest throughout the season.
