Is it statistically a standout when compared against other clubs and the like? Even historically?
It is a standout, I have never come across a club with a spate so large and in such little time frame.

Essendon had 2 ACL's in the quarter nothing but bad luck, if it was soft tissue injuries than something might be wrong with the fitness program, seriously nothing to raise concerns with.It is a standout, I have never come across a club with a spate so large and in such little time frame.

Like a Texan rancher, cattle is a footy club's prime asset, so if there's something wrong with them cows, something will change and fast.
Surely you mean bulls
No, that didn't happen. The Pies were completely healthy all year long. Someone told me so.Some perspective - the Pies from last year (and 2011 i guess)

Brown - Mid feb 2011 (medial strain in 2012)
Macaffer - late feb 2012
Krakouer - late feb 2012
Ball - late April 2012 (sent back on ground after earlier injuring - don't know if relevant)
Keefe - late may 2012
5 in what was effectively a 12month time span, 4 in the space of 3 months. s**t luck happens, sometimes your number unfortunately is due to come up.
As a 20 plus year member and sponsor I am absolutaly gutted everytime one of our players goes down , how you reach your conculsion is beyond me, its people like you who wont say anything when there is a problem that are the disgrace and cowards. The reason i am calling for change is because I dont want our players, our new recruits to go down with horrible injuries. Hopefully their is a least one person on the board with the guts to stand up to the coach and the football department and do what has to be done at seasons end. You Taita can carry on with all your chest beating but the statistic are staring you in the face, we all want the Hawks to win but thats hard to do when to many quality players are sitting in the stands with busted knees. Something has got to give.You are a ******* disgrace champ - celebrating a young bloke's private hell to push your own agenda that not even you can define - I am beyond words.
Don't you drink milk?I'm a vegetarian - they're all the same to me.
i'm sure he does, but not straight from the sourceDon't you drink milk?
Ya don't chomp straight into the side of a cow either!i'm sure he does, but not straight from the source
Apart from providing our players with robotic legs or steel ligaments, I'd love to know exactly what our fitness staff could have done to help prevent a ligament from going 'snap!' when the knee and leg suddenly decide to head off in different directions to the rest of the body?
You have NFI about Taita, but what is noticeable is, just like North Melbourne's own Bosk, you only post here when bad things like injuries happen to promote your negative agenda without giving any solutions like a typical gutless flog.As a 20 plus year member and sponsor I am absolutaly gutted everytime one of our players goes down , how you reach your conculsion is beyond me, its people like you who wont say anything when there is a problem that are the disgrace and cowards.

They just could, ok?
The end.

For more than 3 years now I have heard nothing but unproven, nay scurrilous, slanderous diatribe and scuttlebutt from you concerning Andrew Russell - it is apparent you either have a serious problem with him or a severe personality disorder.
For what it is worth - no one is laughing with you champ.

It made me smile. I'm not sure why, as I didn't understand a word, but it did
Ahhhh fair enoughWhat's Rev got to do with milk?
Seriously some of the crap talked about in here is ridiculous. The ball bounced unpredictably high and over Schoey's head, this surprised him and he tried to grab it but it went past him and he lost his control on how he was landing. It was an unfortunate accident that could happen to anyone, to suggest his knees are weak because Andrew Russell is no good at his job is seriously deluded.
Realhawk, you seem absolutely obsessed with this issue and injuries to Hawthorn players, do you ever post about anything else? Do you even enjoy footy or do you just focus on every injury we get. Fact is clubs get injuries, some clubs have good/lucky years with them and others have bad ones, look at West Coast this year, Essendon and Collingwood last year, Hawthorn 2009. It happens, I'm not sure why you don't let it go and get over it.
Suggesting that Hawks and their fitness staff have issues with soft tissue injuries is one thing but to suggest they're the reason why we have these ACL injuries is honestly ridiculous
