They have plenty missing injured, but they are falling away.
When they lose Vlaustin, Grimes and Broad to old man time their defence will be very fragile.
Fair,
I can see that some supporters jump to a negative conclusion and want to blame someone for their frustration, but with each of those players I don't think the club waiting until the next weekly injury report is deliberately withholding information.
In each case those players were...
Can you give me a couple of recent ( last 12 months) examples of the club the club withholding information which should have come out sooner?
Not being facetious, I can’t think of an example of what you describe.
I am sure in our more distance past ( 3 plus years) there was definitely a...
Gee Soap I like your positivity, I have not seen him play more than 1 or 2 games so have no grasp on his ability.
If what you say is true, and I have no reason to doubt you, what a boon for the club.

Love your work Wook, those old highlights packages used to save me a lot of time.
Fingers crossed that it doesn’t get deleted!

“He is clearly struggling with a long term Achilles problem”.
Why have this take?
Is it not possible that he did in fact get a knock to the area?
How can you be so adamant that something nefarious is happening with our injuries?, you have no knowledge or proof so why cast shadows!
I’m sorry...
Don’t normally watch the front bar but had sheedy on as a guest.
They showed the stat where over the last 54 years * had won 23 finals and Sheedy was the coach for all of them!!!
Hahaha he hasn’t coached * for such a long time! They kinda tried to make it a tribute to Sheedy but really it just...
Gut feel is Zac doesn’t get up this week but Weiters plays.
Cincotta comes in for Williams and I’d bring in Binns for Carroll and move Fantasia to sub.
Carroll needs a full game so back to the 2’s. Fantasia is suited to impact later in the game or cover for an injury and Cincotta is hard and a...
Does anyone remember the bump that Zac Williams got suspended for in the preseason a couple of years ago against Melb I think?
From memory he got 3 weeks even though the player got up and played out the game. I would love to get the vision and compare the Greene/Boyd incident.
Whilst we are on...
Exactly, all this talk about what choice did he have, he chose to leap into a player to make contact, that's his choice!!!!!
If Boyd had been traveling at greater velocity the impact would have been more severe.
Boyd was so far ahead of Greene to the ball that Greene had no chance to get there...
Well there is the walk back by the AFL from a very clear statement preseason.
Any strike to the head, off the ball will be treated with a suspension.
Geez, they are a s**t show!!!
And yes if a carlton player had done it, i wouldn't be happy about the negligible contact but a week for...
There is no way you’ll get that many travelling up the highway!!
But we’ll have 40k plus blue baggers there that’s a given!!!

Feel free to post it anyway if you think it could be cathartic, that’s what this thread is for.
Plus I love hearing the blue version of events after putting up with the only “carltank cheats” narrative from troglodytes elsewhere!!!
I still love to bring up the * drug saga any chance I get even...
They only “self reported “ because the AFL told them they would go easy on them if they did.
The “self report” denied any wrongdoing other than that evil mastermind Dank and his side kick the “weapon” hoodwinked Saint James and their holy doctor.
Oh and of course the spreadsheets were eaten by...
Blue Abroad are running a raffle for some of SOS’s international rules gear if anyone is interested.
Was donated by Ben when the Silvagni’s were clearing house for the move.
Details can be found on y tube.

He actually did go boots first he just missed Boyd with his left leg.
I was appalled by Jono Brown's defence on the couch. He just doesn't get it...... still!!!!!
I think this whole "what else can a player do now he has left the ground" argument is very flawed, because these players know where...
Too many weird scribbles on his limbs to get a gig with us. Would more likely fit in better at pies, sts or ninthmond.

Yep,
The only reason Greene isn’t facing a lengthy suspension is because Boyd wasn’t knocked out. (Thankfully).
If there was serious injury the whole footy world would be talking about 4 weeks minimum.

That may well be true, but not according to Mr King himself or those in the media that spruik his “credentials”.

I think he now feels his reputation of being a terrific analyst is on the line and will continue to pump us up, starting with the preseason attendance to our training.
He was the same last year after nominating Naicos for the Brownlow after 2 rounds. Pumped him up to excess.

Poor fish, destined to lose more games and never see a final.
I hope he has fun in and around the club cos it can't be much fun getting belted out on the ground week after week.
You don't know anything for sure, other than we have injuries.
I get the frustration but to be so certain of the reasoning behind injury without the specifics is naive and presumptuous.
The club hierarchy have done a thorough and ongoing analysis of the decision makers involved in player...
Actually if we did a role call pre season our best back 7 would be Weiters (couldn’t run after 1/2 time), Marchbank, Saad, McGovern, Williams (subbed off 1/2time), Newman (in game injury which dulled his output and Boyd.
Do that to any team and see the result.
Absolute credit to those who...
Pitto was great.
Aggressive and always looking to hit bodies.
A few blocks he put on in the middle gave our players time and space which is crucial because we don’t have tear away speed in there.

It was stated very clearly by the club that Martin is now in a training block to get fitness up after the lay off with an MCL injury that was followed by a minor hamstring injury.
It is very common for hamstrings and calves to strain (not full tears) after a joint injury because the body will...
