    100% add Young to that list. These guys play well and we win.

    Forget the injuries and the loss to Adelaide. We are fielding a strong side and there is plenty of form in that side. It might not be our best side and there may be a lot of players missing from that side but that's irrelevant. What is relevant is that the side that we are fielding is good...

    The way I see it, there is absolutely zero point in Jack Martin or any other proven senior player playing VFL. It's all about getting them fit and we are doing that in a controlled environment. He can miss 5 weeks or he can come back old school and miss three weeks and play 2 in the VFL. I...

    I am quietly happy that Cowan remains in the team. Talented young man who plays the game the right way. Has a lot of development to go. When he gets fitter and stronger he will be a player. Development wise there will be moments they will go over where he was around the ball, when we won it...

    Newman Weitering Durdin Williams Kemp Cerra Acres Cripps Hollands Hollands McKay Cottrell Durdin Curnow DeKoning Pittonet Hewett Walsh Boyd Kennedy Cuningham Owies Carroll Might see a team like this if Cerra is fit? IMO pretty good side if it plays similar to last week.

    Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

    Having injuries and winning games mid season is realistic and that's ok, as long as we are winning. Having this level of injuries and winning all the way through finals is not realistic. Need a level of luck to win a flag, lets hope we time this right. Carroll was sub so not sure that works.

    If Cerra plays I can see him playing as a half back who spends time in the middle. Long term going forward, we haven't really cashed in on Cerra's ability to play forward, so there is every chance we see Cerra playing half forward and on the ball, which puts pressure on some of our half...

    Exactly. Players are injured, but we keep winning. We are still fielding a side that's high quality. Start getting these players back over the next month and we go from a good team to a great team slowly. Grand scheme of things we are fine. We have good young players like Binns and Wilson...

    Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

    I think we have to just in case but I can't see us finding someone who is going to be able to get a game unless there are heaps of injuries. I don't think we should get too excited about it. We aren't filling any holes or making the side better in the MSD. But we might find a player to play a...

    I was thinking he might be a chance. Has he been suspended? There has been no mention of why he has been missing. Young is a spoiler. He's an athlete but he's not a footballer. He can come in and punch the ball away from a key forward and that's it. Decision making, ability to read the...

    Beat them at the contested ball and I think we will, we were red hot there against GWS. That's a big part of this. Our defence is a bit worse for ware at the moment but I think it will hold up. Just wish we had all our runners. Saad is a big our and so is McGovern. But Kemp comes in and...

    1. We have a long injury list. We've spent 20 years blaming injury for our performance when really, everyone has injuries and that was never the case, we just were never really that good. Now we are. 2. We are still winning games and we are 4th (equal second) on the AFL ladder. Have a look...

    Hopefully Williams plays, even though we won you could see the cracks in defence. Cowan will be a good player but is not at the level of Saad, Boyd, Williams and Newman by some way. Young is just a gap filler. We filled the rest of the holes with Kennedy at times. I think Young is guaranteed...

    Players keep coming in and stepping up. Our stars had to step up and they did, brought others up. Was a 8 point win, very very big win. Another 8 point game next week.

    Motlop, Silvagni and Martin are all natural forwards who have not played a game this season. There is an art to playing forward and we aren't very threatening. Even Fogarty has some natural forward ability even though he isn't a big goal kicker he can get the ball, get to where it's going...

    Sounds tactical as well. You look at Collingwood play, they play the opposite. They mess around with it because they have no known marking targets and they turn it over a lot doing that but they are really firm on not blazing away going forward. I don't think they are in a particularly good...

    Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

    Has to be something to do with how we are training. Probably going too hard mid week. Then again there has been no mid week for some of them because they have not played a game. 6 player missing with muscle strains. The two knees are accidental, Docherty has a history with that injury...

    We only play two forwards who hunt the ball in the air. The rest hunt the ball at ground level. This is why we bomb the ball long a lot of the time. You have two guys who are looking to receive from the ball carrier via a kick. The rest are waiting for the ball to come in. I think these...

    We want to be a top 4 side and if we are, even with injuries we beat a team that is 0-4. We didn't play well and there was no excuse. Midfield was blitzed for lack of run. The ran the ball though the middle of the ground and from stoppages and we couldn't lay a hand on them. It's both...
