Don't mention the war!Agreed. Even in peak 90's dominance we were still on the receiving end of the odd thumping.
Even at our absolute peak the year disappeared from the record books.

I think the first priority is to try and keep most of our players fit. The teams doing well year on year have minimal injuries. We just haven’t had that for a long time now.
Yes I think you are right. In saying that I feel we should try and prioritise the list spots for players that are likely to play 22 games. Especially with smaller list sizes. Jacobs, Garner, Tyson, EVW all good players, all best 22 but alas seem constantly injured. Daw is also in this boat. We can’t keep carrying them. The list is in a good spot I reckon. Not as bad as people on here make out. Add a few more good kids and trade for a few good mid 20 year old types abd I think we are a threat from next year onwards provided Shaw gets them focused.Do you reckon a considerable post 2016 rebuild and pumping a lot of kids on to the list might have some impact?
Show your working please, I don't understand how our injuries are a factor of pumping games into kids. If anything I would think we pump games into kids because we have so many injuries.Yes I think you are right.

I am not really sure where I said that. I think we have had a lot of players who have been able to get continued games due to a lack of pressure for spots. This has compromised standards. Our kids do have a habit of coming in playing some good games and then disappearing for long periods with injuries. LDU, Simpkin, Thomas, Walker, zurhar, EVW, Scott all missed extended periods with injuries in their first few years. Some if not all were unavoidable I know. The problem is that coupled with the old players being out constantly like jacobs, Garner, daw means we are always short on selection options. Hopefully we can keep more fit and have some better luck going forward.Show your working please, I don't understand how our injuries are a factor of pumping games into kids.

You sure he can live up to the legacy of the 200 game club legend Shaun Atley?Carter carey ,Wayne’s son give him number 18 now he’ll grow into it
