We had better get used to it. These guy's fitness is not going to become more reliable

Hows this for a scenario.

OUT: Ricciuto, Edwards, Perrie, Clarke, Bock, Welsh.

Rutten is the only one of our spine left to get injured. We're doing fukcing well to be 3-1. We are going to need early wins because we will have a poor patch mid-year methinks.

Or you could be positive and think that we are currently having our "poor patch" now and scraping through with wins. Middle of the year should be better as we see the return and match fitness of Welsh, Torney, Perrie, Ricciuto (still struggling for fitness), Edwards etc. Yes we've ridden our luck a bit, but we haven't played great footy, yet we've won 3 of 4 against pretty good opposition.

I'm happy to anticiptae improvement as the year progresses and the training regime takes effect more fully. I think our position speaks volumes about our depth, although that is about to be severely tested in coming weeks.

Thats it.
Keep driving the nails into our coffin prior to game-day coz I want to be poorly favoured again...worked against Freo

Note I didnt say underdog; that conjures up a style that I dont wish to be part of against the Bullies.

According to the 10 News, Roo was sent off to the hospital for scans on the hamstring. Edwards didn't train, Bode and Thompson left the track early. I would say that Bodey and Thommo is more general soreness than anything.

Adelaide is confident its injury list will not lengthen despite some concerns about the fitness of three more experienced players - Mark Ricciuto, Matthew Clarke and Tyson Edwards - for Saturday's match against the Western Bulldogs at AAMI Stadium.

Ricciuto left training early on Wednesday because of discomfort in a hamstring, but scans later revealed no damage and the captain was said to be 'still a chance' of playing against the Bulldogs.

Ruckman Clarke (groin strain) and midfielder Edwards (calf) did not train, although Edwards had a private run on Wednesday morning.

Both are expected to play this week. Edwards was a late withdrawal from the team that beat Fremantle by 11 points at Subiaco Oval last Saturday night.

Adelaide has to replace suspended Brett Burton and tall forward Ian Perrie, who will be out for eight to 10 weeks after having had arthroscopic surgery to repair the posterior cruciate ligament and the stretched anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

And forward Scott Welsh (stress fracture in a leg), defenders Jason Torney (quad) and Nathan Bock (back) and ruckman Ben Hudson (knee) are also sidelined - Bock and Hudson as longer-term casualties than Welsh and Torney, who will miss at least three and two more games respectively.

Emerging midfielder Brent Reilly forecast Saturday's game would be 'a good contest between two attacking sides', and he described the Bulldogs' midfield as 'the best going around at the moment'.

"It's going to be a very attacking game and a lot of goals are going to be scored," Reilly said. "Of course, their speed is their biggest asset - they use the ball well. It's going to be a great challenge to step up on the plate and play well at home.

"We don't want unregistered dogs running down the wing and taking six bounces. We have to get at them and put pressure on them, and keep the heat on so they turn the ball over."

Reilly said his own form had been 'a bit shaky' early this season but he felt he had 'picked it up' in the past two matches.

"Craigy put a bit of pressure on me to start to perform, and I put a bit of pressure on myself," he said. "My skin folds have improved and my endurance has picked up."
