Two of the the three are contact injuries as well.
Yeah weāve been had a good run with injuries.
So kudos to Crowy and the fitness team for minimising soft-tissue injuries and managing little niggles and knocks to prevent them turning into bigger issues.
Lucky us that we havenāt had impact/contact injuries.
Also the thing that stands out to me is the very low number of in game injuries we have had so far. The only one I can think of is Mitch Brown. Compare that to years previous where it seemed like we would have a player injured by 1/2 time each game.
Weāll win everything for ever.
well ā ā ā ā . thanks for thatā¦
:shakeshead:
Wasnāt lavs a contact injury in the preseason vs Geelong?
Said it before and no doubt iāll say it again, all comes down to attitude.
Geelong/wc/port and even the GWS game they came with the mindset that they have to have 100% intensity and pressure, so they know they have to chase hard, tackle run with their opponents at all times.
richmond, carlton melbourne they well they obviously donāt say oh we only have to bring 80% intensity and we will beat them, but they donāt come with the same mentality as playing a perceived top side.
so players donāt chase as hard, cos someone else will do it, they donāt focus as much on picking the right option cos close enough is good enough. then the opposition have come out breathing fire and they canāt just magically turn a switch and change it.
Some seem more worried about this week against Sydney, I reckon theyāll come out with the right mindset, cos itās a challenge to beat sydney now as they are back to their best footy.
Iād be more concerned about dropping games against other bottom 8 teams were itās perceived that they are worse than us. thatāll be the true test of what the club and players have learnt and how far the may go this year.
Everything Sam McClure writes screams arrogant cocksure FIGJAM.
Especially his tweets.
Formatted like this.
Incredible.

And they will be beatable at docklands
Wasnāt our last finals win against them?
Yes
I think you are shaking more than your head.
scuttlebutt Hooker has just broken a finger and will be out for 6 weeks.
FARK YOU!
Fairybreads kiss of death.
I heard on the radio that it wasnāt broken - just dislocated.
Yeah. Itās no longer located on his hand.
Heās fkn finished.
This is the first year for as long as I can remember, that if we were to be plonked into the grand final (I dunno, say we won some hypothetical raffle), there isnāt a single team that is guarenteed to beat us by 15+ goals.
I mean, GWS or Adelaide or Geelong on the MCG? Cāmon, if we made that, weāre winning that.
Some mediocre team is gonna sk*ank a flag this yearā¦ Might as well be us.
Agree with this.
Itās entirely feasible that we scratch 14 wins and win a final or even 2, and still need to do a pretty reasonable rebuild.
Ha.
Very true.
Numpties on here have been wanting him to pull his finger out for 4 weeks, he pulls his finger out first metaphorically, then physically, and they still complain.
Canāt win.
Need a path where we donāt leave vic.
Something like
Finish 6th, beat whoever
Play loser of gws vs Richmond (obviously Richmond)
Play winner of Adelaide v Geelong in prelim (Geelong always beat them)
Destroy GWS in the grand final
