Comeback DELAYED: Rioli out of Eagles clash
Willie Rioli won’t make his long-anticipated return this weekend, with the forward among a string of big-name absentees for Saturday’s must-win clash with Brisbane.www.perthnow.com.au
Really??Injuries have really ruined this year: Shuey, Kelly, Gov, Ryan, Redden, Hurn and countless others.
Many of those players have been fit recently anyway and have played in a pretty much full team.
Shuey (3), Redden (3), Hurn (2), Ryan (2) have all missed multiple weeks during our recent 2-6 (which I expect to be 2-7) run.
And those missed game tallies don’t include games where players have been subbed out early - which applies to Redden, Hurn, Ryan and now Kelly.
No, but they didn't help.Injuries had nothing to do with the failure that is this season.
We would have easily been in the 8 if not for injuries. From there, anything can happen.Injuries had nothing to do with the failure that is this season.

It's not the sole reason, but you can't deny it has been a major factor.
I think we hit a tipping point, we hoped that Shuey, Kelly, Yeo, McGovern, Duggan etc coming back would let us kick on, when in reality they were so underdone we were always on the backfoot.I think it is fair to say the results of the second half of the season aren't solely or even mostly due to injuries.
But in the first half of the year injuries definitely cost us a win or two - so you are correct that they have cost us top 8.
I'm not sure we would have gone far had we made it anyway, so probably better to miss (and have a bit of fallout - as the club sees anything other than a finals appearance as a massive failure).

Not trying to justify us losing, as our list has let us down in terms of form and depth to see us past injuries.
Couple that with a stagnant, slow game plan, and it was death.
We certainly should have won against North, Pies and Freo, if we'd done that we'd be on thirteen wins.
