Gee I really hope the appropriate questions are being asked of our medical team.

Are players getting selected without proper clearance? Or is clearance being given despite the fact the injuries obviously haven't healed?

Either way, somebody needs to answer for re-injuries to:

Marchbank
Weitering
Murphy
Williamson
McReadie

1-2 names may be a cooncidence, 5 names is a clear pattern

another courageous backline mark by shuey
Yeah, he backed back into the oncoming pack on 3 seperate occasions today and never looked like flinching. Two single grab marks (getting crunched in the process) and a 20 metre spoil towards the boundary line.

For a pick 71 that had big numbers in the TAC Cup and perfect kicking at the combine, I thought to myself there must be a knock on this guy? Each week I find myself crossing stuff off the list. Poor kick - no, soft - no, zero footy IQ - no, slow - he’s quick enough, especially for his height. I think maybe he doesn’t have a great tank, because he twice rotated off in the third quarter despite us being down to one on the bench, but for pick 71 we should be very happy with him and how he’s going.

Don't forget Kennedy. He was the first glaring example

Yeah it is looking like a pattern, but with Williamson, it looked like he copped a knock and he tried to run it out by staying out on the ground for a few minutes and did run throughs on the boundary line to try and keep it warm, so I don’t think the medicos can be blamed for that.

With Macreadie, they said “tightness”, but the way that he was iced and limping after the game, he’s strained it or copped a really bad corkie. No way it was tightness.

You've touched on it there: not really enough speed for a medium defender, not enough of a tank for a mid.

Kind of on the skinny side, so there's room for him to develop as an inside midfielder IMO.
