Bigman’s Training Reports (Update: 11th March)

[Scorpus]

Right so Josh Money said he's injured, so he's totally fine

 

[Pugsley]

Josh is the modern day Rucci. Clueless but blind Freddy can see he went to grab his hamstring.

 

[_SirStealthy01]

So far, Josh Money is the only person to report on Rankine’s injury at this current stage

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Sometimes, injuries just happen and it's not really anybody's fault.

Brett Burton wishes he had thought to use that line

 

[BRL121]

Of the actual incident? I just saw him being stretchered off.

Just curious as to whether it's an impact injury, a freak once off or an underlying weakness that the knee just decided to go in a situation that 99.9% of other knee caps would have been fine.

The latter.

Because the fitness staff dont think they get enough time with the players as it is.

As long as each team gets the same it shouldn't matter

The AFL just announced that if Rankine is out injured it won't count as one of his suspended games wtf???

Well our new fitness guru off to a great start with these soft tissue injuries .
We seem to continue to make easy replacement assistants coaches etc .
We went and got one of best and the results came but when he leaves we just grab what can again.

Well yeah thats one way to look at it.

But I think the time they get with players has slowly decreased over the last few seasons and the seasons are longer.

They can **** off!

We just say he is fit for round 1, even if he isn’t.

I don't think they did?

Sorry... only joking

You bastard lol!

If thats your opinion - why even pay anyone to run our fitness program. Pay Burgess for a month every 5 years to set up the program and let him walk away.

Burgess joined us prior to the 2022 season. Since the beginning of 2022 - we have been absolutely blessed with an amazing injury run. Now since he has left this preseason we are likely to be without the following players in RD 1 - Curtin, Keane, Ah Chee, Rankine, Draper all due to injury. Is it luck?

Aren’t we on record as saying injuries curtailed our 2024 season? I recall Tex on MMM saying ‘it’s not an excuse, it’s a fact’.

You're ****ing banned

 

[Huntercrow]

Now that is stupid!

You really need to calm down as you are looking to blame everyone for anything at the moment.

Good luck with the "calm down" suggestion. That little gem always has the opposite effect. I learned that from my misses.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

So these injuries can't be used as an excuse in the future should we slide down the ladder?

LOL ......different maturity & experience level for this list now, then in 2024

List is 2 years & games more experienced ....we've added experience via the trade table .....so no, sorry you didn't get your "gotcha" moment

All Clubs get injuries, it depends on who, how critical to our structure ...and how long ....ours are relatively short-term

 

[Pugsley]

Sorry... only joking

Delete your account. I just threw my bottle of water and now I need to mop

 

[1970crow]

He sure did. And injuries happen.

Not sure if you read my post. Asked the question - is it luck or is it Burgess.

And it's genuine. Rd 1 2025 we went in with one player on the injury list. With 1 month to go we are possibly going to have Draper, Curtin, Keane, Rankine and Ah Chee in doubt.

And for the record I think we have been insanely lucky since 2022 (or good under burgess). Now that seems to have been changed. Could be luck or could not be. I dont have a bet either way.

The question is idiotic. “Is it luck or is it Burgess” is flawed because Rankine has done hammies under Burgess. You’re just being hysterical.

PS. Don't give the AFL any ideas.
