Far out.

Love to know how many games in which we have lost players before half time not to mention the two games where we lost players (Murphy and Casboult) literally minutes before running out. I'm tipping we would be on top of the ladder for losing players due to injury during games.

Our win rate would not improve but ffs it does throw your plans and structures around.

Bring in the witch doctor to rid this curse.

The witch doctors are already here........they are our medicos!

It's been an absolute disgrace. Harrison Macreadie has done 2 quads and 2 hamstrings as well as had bone bruising from a training collision so far this season and there's still 5 weeks left.

Definitely.

I bet he's never once told the players to not get injured!

If he'd played AFL he would know how important it is to not get injured.

Interesting stat. If asked to guess, I would've said we've had more than 6 occasions where that has happened. If two players fail to register 30 mins in the same game, does that count as 2 in your stat? i.e. is it number of players leaving early or number of games where at least one player has left early?

Counted them as just once (we haven't had 2 with under 30 TOG in the same game though).

Or Matthew Lobbe. Usually our ruckman manage to last about 1 game in a row, before they come down with an injury.

Jack gone pre-game. That counts.

Surely a Royal Flush would have to include a Jack (Silvagni) and King (TDK)?

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Can we assume that Joel Hocking was the bloke responsible for this?

He's been at the club 7 years. Melbourne for 3 before that and Essendon* for 5 years before that. Good time for a change of personel but wrong to make any of them the fall guy.
