* Injury list updated on Tuesday 16 July, 2019
Bont sounds 50-50 for this week. Hope we go conservative with him if there's any doubt.
Libba sounds near certain.
Daniel also about 50-50 by the sound of it.
Wally sounds done. Hope he just works on getting himself right for 2020.
Toby McLean was described as a low-grade hammy so only 2-3 weeks.
It'll be an important few weeks for Webby when he gets back on the field in the VFL.

We can get it done without Bont. At least against St Kilda we can.Bont doesn't play we get done by saints.. season done

If it was seen as any risk of making the injury worse I'd give him the week off. We have the players to fill the role ( obviously not his ilk) his not someone we can afford to loose long term.It is a big worry. He has been great this year (bar goal kicking accuracy, of course).

Good point.We've been critical of our medicos/conditioning staff in recent years From memory a fairly thorough review was undertaken last offseason. Credit where credit is due, whatever changes were instituted have produced a much healthier list this year.
Is it that they weren't/aren't so bad after all and our luck has just changed? Or is it as BHS suggests, that after a review following some pretty dire years, we have improved our personnel/systems, which has resulted in a healthier injury list?Good point.
Some people were potting our medical and conditioning staff when we had an unfortunate run with injuries ("we must be the worst in the league ... blah blah"). It seems they aren't so bad after all.
The reality is there's a fairly significant element of luck - both good and bad - that determines how your club's injury list looks at any given time. Quality staff and practices are of course important but our fairly short list of injuries is no more a measure of that quality than were the long injury lists of 2016-2018.
I'd say luck is the most significant factor. Tigers and Pies have some of the biggest injury lists this year and I'd say they are probably employing the best (or the most expensive at least).Good point.

This is a massive problem with people constantly potting the club. As soon as something comes good, they claim things have obviously changed and they were right all along.Is it that they weren't/aren't so bad after all and our luck has just changed?

Were they really the same people? Will take your word on that one. However, I think you'll find that most of the criticisms about our assistant coaches were that 1) we hadn't got new ones in with new ideas in a while, and 2) the ones we had had been (in their opinion) needlessly shuffled and 'played out of position'. Argument could be made that they've finally learnt their new roles, hence why performance is better, leading to fewer complaints.The same people that were lamenting the professionalism of our medical/rehab staff were also the ones leading the charge claiming that we had the worst assistant coaches in all humanity. That subject hasn't had a run in a while.
As opposed to the constant reference to authority and not asking questions, because we're all just plebs, the club is obviously always right and can never improve on anything? Surely there is a balance to be had?This is a massive problem with people constantly potting the club.
