My argument is the non stop soft tissues that have plagued is for 6 years.I've criticised Voss in other weeks for continuing to pick half fit, out of form players. A reason why though they are repeat injuries and half fit in the first place. Quote Selected

Re: AFL Rd 22 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn Reply #139 – August 13, 2024, 05:47:34 pm Rumours need to be put to bed quickly...or they grow damaging legs.Perish the thought but... it sounds very much like "Review time" again. If mistakes have been made, if boundaries have been crossed it needs to be identified and corrected.Last time folks strayed out of their lanes it cost us a few personnel.A strong head of football would be very active in sorting these things out.

Re: AFL Rd 22 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn Reply #141 – August 13, 2024, 06:00:04 pm Shakin is obviously right with his source. Good asit gets. I do believe the stuff that says training was picked up 6 weeks ago preparing for finals. It has obviously damaged the players rather than preparing them. Seems Russell may have told Voss they are not right and was ignored. Voss has continued to play half fit, out of form players while Russell has rogered us for 6 years.All my opinion.

Re: AFL Rd 22 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn Reply #142 – August 13, 2024, 06:08:16 pm There's something about all this simplistic finger pointing that just doesn't add up. When you consider the number of stakeholders involved, it's just can't be that cut and dried, at least if my knowledge of human behaviour is anything to go by. Quote Selected 3 Likes

What if the player declares they are tip top, smashes all the fitness tests etc., what then ? Do they still get held back ? How does one distinguish between a "niggle" and a genuine injury, when the player appears to be moving freely and without pain ? I can't imagine these issues are just black and white.

Re: AFL Rd 22 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Hawthorn Reply #147 – August 13, 2024, 06:38:43 pm Its up to the player whether he can play - its also up to the player to prepare correctly and not be lazy.If he can run, jump, twist, tackle and kick then he is fit to play Quote Selected 1 Likes
