Agreed CK.

Early in the year I remarked to a fellow Blues supporter that one reason why we were doing well was because of far better depth. We were able to replace a few injured players with others that were similar in ability - unlike previous years where an injury to a top 10 player would mean the replacement was nowhere near as competent.

Unfortunately 14 players missing puts us back in a similar position. It is also causing us to bring back injured players too soon when they may have recovered from the injury but are called on to play a role in the senior side with insufficient match play experience.

It would be a great effort to maintain our spot in the 8, have the pre finals bye, get a few players back and win a final or 2.

Yes ..... the BYE before finals would be the bye to regroup. The mid season one has always done the opposite.
Just need to make those damn finals.

fair enough about George ,but my point is that risk is always there unfortunately

Matt Kennedy. Apparently torn ligaments in ankle. Out for season. The curse is never ending

I was just about to post this.
Person on facebook claims to seen him yesterday and said Matt was wearing a moon boot and has only just found out the extent of the injury.

Can we get a more definitive source on this than "person on Facebook"?

Person on Big Footy?

Confirmed on channel 7 news that Kennedy has an ankle injury.

Cerra out now

Kennedy ??

So who has the ankle, Cerra or Kennedy?

Abductor for Cerra.
Ankle for Kennedy

Apparently Kennedy season may be over too. Wow. No Hewitt too. I wonder how bad Cerra is. ?

I'd forgotten that Kennedy was originally out with a jaw/concussion. Must have been some serious vibration to rupture his ankle ligaments.

We've been among the worst for injuries every year for as long as I can remember. Mixture of bad recruitment, bad player management, and I suppose a little bad luck.

Bloody hell.

You know Cerra will miss next week as well.

There really needs to be a review about our constant injury issues

Can’t simply be bad luck

They said Kennedy and may need surgery.

I am thinking there has been confusion about Kennedys ankle injury

Please let me know if there is a current post about it - that article is August 2018

No. It was rumoured today and then made Ch 7 news.
