Quote from: Macca37 on
The persistent problem we have, and which seems to have no solution, is that too many of our good senior players are physically fragile and are unavailable for selection for long periods of time, making it impossible to have a cohesive unit.

On the rare occasions when most of them do play on the same day we are given a glimpse of what is possible.  Then the injuries start again.

Unfortunately it is possible that where we are now on the ladder is as good as it gets with this list.


Spot on Macca, as soon as we get some back, they drop like flies again, and by that I mean the usual suspects.

I tend to agree Lods. You wouldn't want players carrying that extra load over the long term. It's sustainable (more or less) over the short term. We were not playing great footy, yet scores were level with one minute to go, and it took some magic from a super player to seal the deal for them. I can understand why Voss gave the presser that he did.
