The " 2 YEAR " theory

[NSWCROW]

The DREAM injury free run we had in 2005 has come back to bite us HARD.

1 injury free year = 2 years of nothing but injuries

Surely we have the MOST INJURY RAVAGED LIST in the AFL at the moment ??

I haven't written us off this year yet at all - we have to improve, yes - but there is no doubt that our biggest chance was 2005, and we lost it when it mattered. 2006 we were amazing mid-year, but lost key injuries at the end of the year, but that's the nature of the game.

Ours isnt as bad as it was a few weeks ago I guess but with the return of Roo and Stiffy etc comes the wait for match form to return. Hopefully we have enough fit players going into the break to approach the second half of the year differently.
