Collingwood 93 - injuries ravaged rebuilding
Western Bulldogs 90 - brand new coach who cycled through players
Gold Coast 77 - basket case
St Kilda 69 - rebuilding
Adelaide 59 - 2 new coaches both cycled through players
Brisbane 58 - basket case
Fremantle 56 - 1 year of basketcase
Geelong 50 - were 13th and cycled through players
West Coast 46 - pay it
Sydney 45 - pay it
Essendon 43 - lol, you'd have gotten a game
Richmond 41 - 1 year of basket case
Carlton 25 - rebuilding but hardly huge numbers
GWS 24 - hardly huge numbers
Port Adelaide 20 - hardly huge numbers
Hawthorn 18 - hardly huge numbers

Is the point of all this saying that we should aspire to be more like Melbourne? Lol.

One tall that has had a knee reconstruction.

Another tall that had a shoulder reco and ongoing issues.

And a utility who has had 2 shoulder recos.

A project ruck who is behind the most durable ruck in the comp.

An outside mid with zero contested game.

A rerookied battler.

Yep, needed to give them a run.

are you happy that not one of our 2014 draftees has played a single game in two seasons?

if you want to get something positive from these types of numbers we can go back to 2013 and see

Brisbane 357
Sydney 170
Adelaide 165
Hawthorn 163
GWS 159
West Coast 146
Collingwood 141
St Kilda 139
North Melbourne 127
Western Bulldogs 115
Gold Coast 114
Carlton 102
Port Adelaide 97
Essendon 86
Fremantle 72
Melbourne 71
Geelong 63
Richmond 61

That Ben Brown and Luke McDonald make all the difference.

try turning your phone off and having a sleep.

 

[Popeye10]

Why?

We weren't gifting games given we were pushing hard for finals.

Had they been able bodied, they would have played in round 22 last year.

Not gifting games, are you kidding

 

[Uber poster]

2014 Draft Class means all players select by the club in 2014, let me explain this slowly as I see LtK doesn't get this too by his like and we all remember his problems with a decade ago and the past decade meaning the same thing.

if a club has 5 players selected in the 2014 draft
and each of those five players have played 20 games in two seasons
their 2014 draft class has played 100 games in total

20 x 5 = 100

do you all get that?



two misinterpretations in two days, shall we go for three tomorrow?

Nope. If several posters misinterpreted your comment it is clearly the delivery. Also ive ever heard that term used before. Stick to the bloody dice you. At least you're good at that!

every year I hear we have drafted a guy that should have gone a lot higher in the draft, maybe the fact his shoulders or knees are stuffed is why? just throwing it out there.

thewlis and LtK cue to push like button.

 

[Popeye10]

Are you David King?

Do you even know who these players are?

Do you understand the concept of seasons missed through injury?

Don't worry, you're obviously not the only one who missed the significance of the latter

Na David King wishes he was me, so no one from 2014 could crack it for one game in 3 years not one game

There are only 2 from 2014 who were even close. Fordham in 2015 and the Hyphen in 2016.

You have seen how our coach runs the team yeah? Don't change things unless absolutely necessary.

From 2013 & 2014 the only guy who probably should have played more is Frog.

Given the amount of KPP in 2014 I'm not hugely surprised, no.

What about if there are no preexisting injuries to the joints effected by injury after they are drafted, as was the case with each of these blokes?

Is that the players we selected or team selection policy then? either way there is/was a problem, we can't just constantly blame injuries.

Given the amount of KPP in 2014 I'm not hugely surprised, no.

I think EVW should have played 4 to 5 games at least and we have another 2 players on our least for two years that we know nothing about, I to am getting tired, getting tired of having no faith in our juniors until they are devoid of any confidence.

I just remember what my Daddy told me as a youngster, "if it's too good to be true maybe it aint the player we should draft".

To clarify and eliminate all confusion, have the draftees of 14 had 2 or 3 years to not crack a game?

3 years.2014 one year 2015 two years 2016 you guessed it 3 years

 

[SnowyontheTram]

3 years.2014 one year 2015 two years 2016 you guessed it 3 years

So I am guessing we are talking about players drafted in 2013?

 

[Popeye10]

No, so what happened to 2014 the year they got drafted

Whilst I know it really wasn't a question, this post surely removes all doubt as to the nature of this account.

No one is that stupid.
