Would be jizzworthy to see Emac announced fit and ready for 2016 at the same time they unveil the new jumper - Eric adorned in glorious full navy

This season is surely dead. Can't see how we can win enough games with Brown as our #1 key defender, let alone with Emac as well. Hopefully Gov can handle the job as the 1st/2nd KPD, hope that his fitness is much better than last year and can keep up with the key forwards. Hope that McInnes get a gig every week in defence for EP.

Tend to only use knee braces or strappings on people that already have knee issues esp patella dislocation. Strapping a good knee can create a reliance on it thus actually weakening the structure of the knee. Although you could avoid that with physio and knee exercises should be trialled I reckon esp given the high amount of knee injuries in afl

Sorry to hear about MacKenzie guys, gutting that both our clubs have lost arguably our most important players in a space of two days. Hopefully you guys uncover another KPP talent from the hole Eric will be leaving this year though. McGovern looks to be a gun already surely another will pop up and do a job.

That's right, call me Obeanie1 fanboy extraordinaire
Not but really, i'm not freaking out over Emac because i honestly don't think it's going to affect where we finish all that much anyway.
Even without him i feel we can still bully the s**t teams, coin toss against the other mid range teams and lose to the top teams to finish 8-13th regardless.
Plus now Brown is a somebody. People didn't want anything to do with him before, but now he's 'Mr Sex', and going to have a huge season.
If we were to have an injury to a quality player then a key position defender is where we have the best coverage.That's right, call me Obeanie1 fanboy extraordinaire

When Darling is fit again we would have had trouble fitting all our quality talls in the team.
As much as it reeks of tanking, if we aren't a premiership contender, it is probably not a bad thing to force Brown to step up as well as give Barrass a taste here and there for his development.
My concern with Mackenzie isn't that it'll affect this season, but that he might not ever be the same player in future seasons

Also known as Fremantle Dockers headquarters.
It can not be tanking in any way - there are no other options.
While it is terrible for Eric, this is the best time to have such an injury (if there can be such a time) - plenty of time for rehab and the next pre season, all going well. The club also has tome time to test options prior to round 1

WCE still looking good for mine. Brown massively improved with confidence last year...he can do it. The young talent exciting me about WCE.

Sorry to hear about Mackenzie, hate to see any player suffering an ACL. All the best to him with his recovery.
Not on Emac's level but maybe Carlile? I totally agree with your point though, if people are saying its season over because of one man going down, then we were never a chance of anything to begin with IMO.

The problem is that our midfield tends to leak like a sieve defensively, Port's not so much.

Port went to crap when Trengove missed games through injury
