Feels like we've been lacking in genuine ruck depth for a while.

What list has 3 AFL ready ruckmen? I don't think that exists, if it does it's a luxury, not the norm.

Our ruck depth is fine with 2 AFL quality ruckmen we force into the team every week, some teams barely have 1.

We have O'Keeffe and Mirkov as developing rucks so 4 on the list, the depth is fine relative to lists at AFL level.

Like every year on multiple occasions

do you mean, when will someone be sacked? or do you mean, when will there be "an investigation" post a player getting a lti? because it's a little naive to think we just roll on regardless without there being an extensive review into it............

We need a third ruckman who is AFL ready.

I think L Young can do this. Didn’t he do it in a prelim for the dogs and play well?

Sad news, had high hopes for Jack this year

 

[Faz 2000]

JSOS, oh no! This could have been his year to establish himself in such a big way!

Feels like we lose one every season before we start.

 

[Revenant1965]

Just come on to the board and seen the JSOS news. Really feel for Jack as I thought he was looking likely to have a great year ahead. Games before last year, together with how JSOS was looking before injury, suggested soon really good things in 2024 for Jack. A heart and soul player who will also put 100% in his recovery. All the best to Jack, and looking forward to 2025.

When do our fitness staff get questioned and held to account? The same story year after year.

What more could they have done to avoid this?

Go through our list and check how many players who have done their ACL. Questions need to be raised as this an annual occurrence.

What a load of rubbish
ACL s are nothing but an unlucky accident
No ones fault
Give it a rest..

Why? Isn't this a forum to discuss injuries?

It is a thread to discuss injuries but not the same repetitive rubbish time after time.

Did you watch the news report above?

 

[Opium]

Speaking of injuries, why doesn't the club be transparent with the members and release information about Pittonet?

It stated what we already know. Ruptured ACL.

You totally missed the point.

Enough of this curse !

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Russell should be out on the field making sure all 45 players run, jump, kick and change directions in the correct way at every single moment to avoid ACL injuries. If a player looks like he is about to land awkwardly or take off the wrong way he must be there to stop them.


Anything less is a fail. If he cannot monitor every players actions at all times we must not train at all.

 

[Opium]

You totally missed the point.

Perhaps you did. We have 3 players on our list with ACL injuries in the past 12 months. Questions need and should be asked. Are all these injuries just pure bad luck??

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Pitto also in a moon boot not sure this has been. Reported.

I don't know the exact injury at this this time.

Bugger.
Introducing the TDK and Harry lethal ruck/forward combination.
