BRB, got some threads to update.
Starting with Depth, membership numbers and positive thread and then running riot across the board.
Will work on the best 22 thread when I stop being upset, reckon the MC will probably announce the round 1 squad first.

If it’s any consolation Gawn is a top 10 player in the league after 2 ACLs earlier in his career, people talk about knees killing careers but most guys tend to get back to their best after 1 or 2.
Sorry for the intrusion and sorry to hear about Doc - terrible for him.
But I just wanted to share that this is what really pisses me off about the AFL media and the sensationalism about "miracle comebacks" etc regarding Goldsack. He did not suffer a complete ACL tear like Docherty and other players - it was a "partial" tear which is the reason why he came back so early. End of the day, we're all human and can't half recovery times because we have "heart" like the AFL media machine would suggest.
Sucks for Doc.

Send in a blank piece of paper, won’t be able to field a team if our shit run of luck continues apace.
As shit as this is, the sky isn't falling and SOS shouldn't be sacked for the 2019 first round pick swap with the Crows. We have a team of 44 players, and if one guy going down means it's time for a wooden spoon again, we have far bigger issues than a single trade - it means the whole list is shit. Fortunately, the whole list isn't shit and neither are we trying to bust into the top 4 next year. So keep the horses on hold.
Are you kidding? People are not only going over the handlebars, they are then dismantling the handlebars before setting fire to the whole bloody bike.
I am really pissed off and sad about this, but christ there are some ridiculously OTT posts here.
That said, I am getting quite upset about this. Not fair on Doc, and I am pissed off on behalf of the rest of the players too.

2018 just had to have one final **** you up it’s sleeve before we put it behind us forever.
Devastated for Doc. Not much else to say really. Very flat.

What am I supposed to be kidding about?
My point is I'd prefer the club be certain about something before releasing ANY news for that matter not just injury news.
What do people expect - a live stream from the club 24/7?

Having done my ACL two years ago I knew the chances of getting back the Docherty we knew were very slim. I done everything right in the rehab. I can still play sport at 75% but I know if I push myself at 100% it will snap again.
Yeah for the marking bit, but for Doc a big part of his game was the drive off half back once he took possession. Marhy is more a mark and hold, dish off, kick sideways kinda player.
Having said that,there is a real opportunity for someone to make a statement this is what coaching groups, fitness staff and strategy peeps get the big bucks for.....find someone FFS.

I know. There were posters saying the club took too long to confirm and that a scan wasn't necessary to confirm the ACL rupture

Of course he would have been a massive inclusion, but injury to one player, will have little effect on the overall outcome of our season, it should not be used as an excuse.
I was commenting on people going over the handlebars. Not criticising you. Sorry for being unclear.
