[TeeJay Blue]

So what your saying is that it can get worse?

Damn right it can. Knowing our luck, we might need 45 top-ups.

don't wanna get too clicky here and jimster doesn't need me talking on his behalf but it might be wise to take into account a poster's history and style before going all full metal jacket on him

 

[HBF]

Poor big fella. Lining of lung injury is too close for comfort. Hope they got him on some good medication to ease the pain.

Having two small kids will be a challenge also.

Now I'm just picturing Shiek as a drill sergeant

You could not be more wrong about my comments. I am bagging the performance management staff, not Levi, because I think things like that can be minimised if fatigue is minimised.

I'm not sure we're doing that to an adequate level and I think you'll find I'm not alone in that.

Are you saying that tired muscles are more susceptible to injury or that he wouldn’t have been in that position if he was fitter?

Fatigued muscles (or other leg/hip/back related issues) mean it's more difficult to maintain balance, so in this case I'm talking about 'jelly legs'. It had a limited effect on the nature of the contest, but it's potentially there.

There's definitely more dramatic examples, usually in players coming off long runs. Every little bit done to keep the players in better nick helps on game day, and I really do think a significant portion of the cumulative stress on our players compared to the rest of the competition is reasonably avoidable.

Plenty of injuries I've seen in sport occurred under severe fatigue. When you're tired you get clumsy and tend to increase all forms of injury, including impact. I completely agree with your point and think it's an issue, not saying thats what happened with Levi just wanted to add my two cents. I've definitely seen fatigue cause avoidable injuries

Watching Brad Scott interview. He makes a very good point about performance and availablity and exposing young players too early. Lots of things pertaining to us that we should take on board. Starts at 25.15

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Ribs take awhile. Rest up CAS.

Especially if slow cooked.

 

[CJMB]

this is my rifle, this is my gun

this one's for fighting, this one's expected to miss 1-2 weeks...

 

[RudyBlue]

Let's keep it above the belt

 

[HBF]

Especially if slow cooked.

Working beautifully

Very interesting episode thanks for posting therubbernub

Was interested that Brad Scott mentioned he was not in favour of stripping the list right back and going down to the bottom. I would have liked to hear what alternative path he would favour.

I think the idea is don’t * up your list that badly in the first place

He favours the path of recruiting ageing players that still have their best footy ahead of them.

[passmark]

At least Williamson appears to be improving.

 

[LanceRomance]

Pickett has blown out?

Scaphiod is a mongrel

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Afl website says Plowman is in doubt with a quad... isn’t on our injury list. Why wouldn’t we list him as test or something if he was under a cloud.
