Sometimes, a hamstring injury isn't a hamstring injury. Back-related hamstring injuries don't actually involve damage to the muscle or tendon: there's just referred pain from the back. That's not to say this was Wingard's issue as I haven't followed it closely.

I had a year of footy featuring weekly hamstring injuries or what I thought were hamstring injuries. Every week I'd feel like I pulled a hammie and sometimes I couldn't lift my legs while walking without feeling pain only to find that a few days later it seemed to be fine. Then rinse & repeat. They were definitely not hamstring injuries because they don't go away after a few days but I never found out what they were. The next season I had no problems.

You have Saad, Docherty and Newman all doing that rebounding defender role Imho, only Saad provides a player who can both defend his man and attack.
I just think we have one too many rebounder only types. For me Stocker is a more multi attributed player who also gives us a bit of grunt which you need vs certain players.
Williams I would use off the bench...

I think Doc plays a little further up the ground these days so leaves Saad and Newman as the main running backs and I would play Williams over Newman if I had to pick out of those 2.

I really rate stocker he is hard as nails and look forward to him back in the team just not at Williams expense.

Still nice problem we are having not knowing who to drop......feels like yesterday we were looking at who we could call on to improve us and the cupboard was usually bare.

Gov out for a couple of months due to its reoccuring nature,

Bad luck for him - need to get Marchy up and running as soon as we can.

....and this is when we start missing jones.
Some criticize his haphazard nature, but he was available every week!

Gov/Omac both out and their backup Young (realistically 4th and last available KPD) to hold up alongside Weiters could be a worry.

However, if we dominate the midfield as much as we have in the first 2 games, the boys won't need to defend, so it might just be ok.

Sadly I have no confidence that McGovern is going to get on the park on a regular basis. Too fragile.

Thats ok, marchbank will be available by round 4 and he will break down by round 8 in time for mcgovern to come back. Between the two of them we'll have a footballer.

Dunno why Martin is an automatic in, needs to start doing a lot more.

Round three and the thin part of our list (tall defenders) is already exposed.

Unfortunately I very much doubt we'll ever see him.
