Mismanagement, same as we did the Crouch’s. Soligo also hampered last year, as was Dawson. You do realise we make mistakes at a physical performance level?
Very few games lost due to injury over the squad

Sure, the wheels fall off some of them three quarters of the way through the season and they limp around playing crap, but they're out there

Players do get injuries, it's a bit of stretch to say they have cooked Draper's groins because other footballers have had groin injuries.

It’s like HR holding onto crap employees to keep turnover stats within their KPI. We drive our players into the dirt to maintain continuity and experience levels. Eventually the philosophies we’ve rigidly adhered to the last 20 years will pay dividends. Just you wait.

I also said we cooked the Crouch's groins. Reality is that he’s appeared twice so far, only fleeting and it’s well known his groins are the reason. I guess it’s just something he picked up in the offseason.

If someone is predisposed to groin trouble they can manage them all they want, but there's always a chance they break down.

What evidence is there that Draper has been mismanaged?

I mean if you could point to him being played in every game in his first season, I could maybe understand.

I’d point to him playing the last few rounds. I’d point to Matt Crouch as evidence that we don’t always get it right. Ditto Soligo, ditto Dawson.
 
What evidence would satisfy you? Obviously it happening to other players isn’t enough and nor his absence from preseason training. What will satisfy you?
You claim we did it to other players, yet havent actually provided real proof that it occurred.

Id also like to see how many other "contending" clubs use the same methods we have, id wager it would be almost all of them.

This is it. You claim they have 'cooked his groins', yet you can't provide any substantial evidence.

It's a decent sized claim that needs some sort of evidence.

You can say whatever you like, but if you can't back it up, don't expect me to take it seriously.

What? Matt Crouch retired at 29 saying his focus is on being pain free in normal life. He was playing AFL footy, then missed a week to ‘get right’ then played until he couldn’t and was forced to retire. It’s the second time he’s missed a heap of footy groin related, as did his brother. Soligo clearly struggled and after the finals it was reported Dawson had been struggling either way a foot, despite punching out high end TOG. You genuinely miss all this stuff?

As I asked, what form of evidence will satisfy you?

So Crouch continuing to put himself up for selection is the clubs fault ?? Right I understand.

Dawson struggled with a foot injury in the last 3 or 4 weeks, would you suggest our captain and best player miss finals ?? Cool, thats another great suggestion.

Soligo struggled with form rather than physically.

Meanwhile you havent got the balls to concede every other contending club did the same thing late in the season, you just wanna do your regular "we do everything worse than everyone else" shtick youve been doing forever.

Which other clubs did the same thing and with which players?

“We’ll be fine”. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.

Collingwood continued to play numerous players (Daicos, Elliott, Pendles) through injury, Geelong did it with Danger, Brisbane with Neale, Dunkley, Hawthorn with Sicily, Moore.

Every club has players play through injury, I know its news to you but there would be a handful who go in for surgery post season.

I mean that is of course unless you want to keep your head in the sand.
