Preview Essendon v Goldcoast July 5 (early discussion) - Look, it's basically the preview thread

[faible]

How many of the returning players will come straight in? Surely Langford for one, comes back via ressy’s. He was hardly setting the world on fire before his injury, and I think he’ll need game time in the twos first. Same could apply to all returning players.

Ideally they all play some managed minutes before coming back in so we don't risk re-injury given the season is already cooked.

Same thing happened last time a few weeks ago didn’t Caldwell and someone else go down?

"Sean Murphy was highly rated"

 

[Vindicater]

So in light of that news.

Out: Parish, Blakiston and Perkins

In: Ridley, Durham and Reid

Bold of you to assume that Reid and Ridley will manage to last unscathed.

Weird feeling about the next couple of games. Theres zero hope from the fans but I imagine the players will be asking themselves what’s possible now the teams back together? Snag a win, find some form, who knows? Langford is the barometer for me. If he gets up and about then the dynamic changes. Unlikely to happen soon enough to matter. My guess is we blitz the last few games of the season

I feel like Langford is running on fumes

Why?

 

[jannissary]

Why?

someone will come in for darcy if he's injured.

Durham.

Yeah Edwards

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Feel bad for the players and it's concerning this keeps happening but personally think redman is the only big loss to the 22. The midfield and forward line are more balanced without parish and Langford IMO.

Blam8ng Murphy is simplistic

 

[jdstorm]

Don’t know what’s going on but with so many people having lower leg movement chain injuries there’s clearly something that’s going wrong either with strength and conditioning or something else that effects that

And probably not far from the truth either.

Given its happened to multiple S&C coaches over a matter of decades at this point I don't think sacking him is going to change much. I want everything reviewed by experts not linked to the club.

Both should find other occupations, football does not suit them. Clear as day.

Is it possible we've been really shit at picking S&C guys? Much like head coaches?

Never trust a S&C coach who is built like a string bean..
