You’d definitely question it, all teams get injuries but ours go on forever and ever.
None of this miss a week and ready to go next week stuff.
I still put it down to we have a team that look like kids playing AFL.
They look like they need a good feed, something definitely isn’t right at Alberton.

Yeah again, done by champion data and Hoyne who is an idiot who doesn't actually know footy and only goes of stata BUT doesn't include all stats. It's their bias creating a narrative. They didn't even deem Esava as a key player injured for Port. Or Jones. The only players they cared about was Butters and Hornet. Didn't even care that Todd was injured straight up. So no, that is NOT reality and its NOT club propaganda ffs... you muppet

Because Tod Marshall is shit?
Ratogolea only improved in the second half of this year before he fell over
Lukosious hasn't proven anything for us prior to him going down
SPP wasn't there the year prior and other than giving it his all every game he was just another plodder
Jones lol what?
BZT is solid

The majority of our long term injuries haven't to A graders.

JHF went out after the season was gone.

Ken used injuries prior to the finals series last year and every other flat year we've had, nobody here accepts that bullshit when we've seen premiers have more injuries than us.

He explained our club to perfection going into finals last year. We hate games where the ball hits the ground and finals series is exactly that. Predicted we'd fall over and we did.

 

[240volt]

The problem is when we do get injuries we haven’t the depth to cover them.
We need our best 22 playing most weeks or we’re fked.
Improvement in the list will bring improvements in results.
The next couple of years are going to define our future.

Congrats on showing your potato IQ again It's not about A grade players it's about the 22 squad ffs... Not depth, or those that are outside the 22. It's the CORE. And ALL those players are CORE players in the 22 squad you Muppet. You can trash Marshall and Esava and Jones and any other player all you like but they are the CORE squad idiot. You lose your bloody core squad players and ESPECIALLY the ones that are key position types that are structured around then it affects the team massively. so piss off with this crap where they aren't A grade players therefore are irrelevant when injured.

****ing moron

Aren't you a clever one for predicting then Considering media pundits and others have been predicting Port won't make the 8 or finals for the last X amount of years and yet they've thrown that prediction out the window how many times now? Only happened this year BECAUSE of injuries from before the season started and through out the entire season. Accept that FACT or not. Don't really care.. you are clearly a dip shit who goes on about Port but sticks the knife in every step and pisses on Port all the time.

I didn't predict that Hoyne did... ?
Every club has injuries , we had injuries sure but the depth of our list has always been our weakness under Ken. You sound like a fan? Sad to see him go?

Yeah I am a fan of Port. Always have been and always will be. Clearly you aren't and just want the club to burn.

If those players are our CORE god help this club


Marshall , Jones, Ratogolea likely wouldn't get a game in any of the current top 8 sides best 22.

That's gold mate can you post more

Even assuming that this metric is accurate, being the fifth least affected team over the year doesn't mean we're the fifth least affected team right now. Right now and over the last month we've been a ****ing hospital ward.

JHF, Bergman, SPP, Ratugolea, Luko, Burgoyne, Jones, Marshall all clear best 22 and Burton and Visentini borderline best 22 out, plus Rozee and Aliir playing hurt. Find me 13 teams with a worse injury list than that right now.

Ratogolea gets a run at Geelong.

Marshall had a 10 million dollar deal in front of him at the Hawks. Probably gets a game there if fit.

Jones at Collingwood?

Collingwood played a hopelessy out of form Frampton last game. Jones gets a run.

Injuries of course have played a part. Having multiple injuries every game doesn’t allow you to have consistency and continuity as a team structure.
However, the warning signs were there in the pre season games when that wasn’t even an issue (aside from Marshall).

There’s always the mental side of things once the succession plan was public.

Evans recovered from his illness to be a late in for the maggies

That's really the crux of it. The whole farewell tour shot our season down before it even started. But to dismiss injuries as also affecting our season is the height of disingenuousness.

As I posted in the Freo thread, some numbskull boffin from Champion Data came up with an injury list based on their interpretation of whether you have star players out and claimed we were the 5th least impacted with injury.

So even though we have an extensive injury list, they basically aren't counting guys like Visentini, Cochrane, Walsh, Moss, Soldo even though they would be lining up to be next in line for games and in some cases in our 23, especially with other injuries.

I don't know how they rate Lukosius (who has missed most of the season), Zerk-Thatcher (who missed a large chunk of the season and looks to be still under duress), Marshall, Peps, JHF, Ratugolea, Bergman but we've lost the last few of these guys late in the season so maybe they haven't impacted their magic formula. Burgoyne went down after the story came out so he's not considered either.

Rozee, Wines, Butters, Jones all missed games this year. Even Rioli is technically playing injured and missed other games with injury and personal issues.

Our depth has its limitations, but I’d argue we’ve been missing 4-6 of our regular starting 22 for the majority of the year. When you add those who have played under duress, it makes it that much harder to keep your head above water.

As much as I despise Ken, next year wouldn’t be much different under Carr if we were to experience the same amount of injuries.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Luko and Jase out for the rest of the season for the team that doesn't have injuries.
