Muscle injuries perhaps a sprinkling of age and preparation, everything else random circumstance. There's an untested theory I have that sides with substantial injury lists are more likely to incur further ones. Players coming in underdone or too many at once. Others not being rested at optimal times or pushing through niggles. Extra exertion when the side are struggling but in a state of less cohesion. Could all be nonsense or there could be something in it. So I guess "chain of bad events".
Commendable though because I don't think I could stay actively and aggressively bemused about something for this long. It is passionate enough to come across as pure frustration and annoyance. Bemusement comes with a sense of wonder that can actually be quite enjoyable - so maybe the GFC are simply giving you an interesting puzzle to work on.
It's actually commendable that you have the imagination to see my outlook on this as aggressive. As I've explained every time you choose to mock my viewpoint on this, it doesn't keep me up at night nor have me afflicted by conniptions as I contemplate the horrendous injustice of it all.

It's clear that you are, anyway. So that's all good.
Foot injuries are the hardest to give an outlook on. I've had them myself. 1 month or 12 - surgery or not - resurgery? Career ending? It's all unclear. I'm not surprised at all with how it's unfolded, nor have I been with Jack Henry's issues.
The creme de le creme would be if someone created a thread for all and sundry to post vent number 143 on the club's awful communication, and then this thread simply to discuss what we know or don't know about players from the info we DO get (e.g Dangers rib injury).
We have been unlucky but our top end list is still ageing.
But any update on something like Danger's rib injury comes in amongst the club's ongoing awful communication around injuries. With the GFC, it appears you truly cannot have one without the other.
I guess, but we found out it was broken ribs, he went to hospital and there were posts on how others have recovered from similar situations. Some have had insight to turf toe, other foot injuries (e.g the Henry situation) and how recoveries are after various surgeries. And we do still get what AFL.com.au offers us each week, or the club does update, or we have guys "in the know" rumours or otherwise.
That's one possible solution, I guess. But given the responsibility for the inane practice of such erratic club 'communication' clearly lies with the GFC, perhaps you could contact them directly to take up your concerns?
Likewise. I reckon we can clog things up pretty nicely to end of season. Of course I remain steadfast in adding things I consider productive contributions as well.That's one possible solution, I guess. But given the responsibility for the inane practice of such erratic club 'communication' clearly lies with the GFC, perhaps you could contact them directly to take up your concerns?
In the meantime, I'll probably just continue to leave my thoughts here.
Angry letters are a great alternative actually. Since it doesn't bother me, I won't, but your rants would probably get read if you sent something to the club. Maybe I can help you draft something and we get a few supporters to co-sign it?That's one possible solution, I guess.

Thanks for that. If I ever get around to composing a rant (about anything at all), I might get back to you.
So it's apparently a veritable bevy of bemusement, then. How quaint.
Classic. This is precisely what a meaningful injury update from the club would include. So the information is available. It's just apparently not worthy of being shared with the supporter base by the GFC.
