What do we do...

[LC_15]

to combat injuries...hunt down the Injury leprechaun and beat him to death with his walking stick?

Novel idea

Perhaps pump the players with every known hormone, steroid, drug, natural herb, aromatherapy oil, hypoxygenator, etc. The test results will be so high that the testers will assume their equipment is broken.

And each week Danny can send out 22 250cm, 250kg, two-headed, flesheating & banjo playing footballers. No other team would dare take the field.

Imagine lining up on a team full of Toxic Avengers!

Lots of it I reckon is just down to luck.

I'm sure the medical staff take as many precautions as necessary as far as injury prevention go such as strapping etc.

I reckon we just call the zoo and ask em if we can borrow a couple of real tigers and send them onto the field

TG I dont think that would be allowed... *wink wink*

I think we should adopt the Iraqi soccer team ploy...lose a game..shoot a player

the team

So :

Ottens trained well according to reports. Say two - three weeks full training...a half for Coburg...then a full game. In against Adelaide in round 14.

Blumfield : Same as Ottens - probably play seniors r 14 aginst Adelaide.

Holland : is going to get his second game in a row this week. He'll also probably play for Coburg next week too. If he really does the job ... he'd be a chance to line up against the Blues. And then back to Coburg for the break. Play against Lions.

Hall : Last played against Port Adelaide. Missed 3. If he passes the fitness test he's probably young and fit enough to come straight in.

Stafford. : If he passes he's straight in. Unlike Holland, Hall, Ottens, Campbo...we lost as soon as he left the team...and I believe the same happened last year. A poll at the official web site has him easily the most important injured player.

Coughlan : And this guy would be next. An achillies is worse than a calf muscle injury as it can flare even when managed carefully. Pray.

Campbell : Hopefully the brains trust were preserving him and he comes straight in. He certainly wasn't favouring it as he walked off the ground..and if he was feeling it...he wasn't showing it. We know he's tough.

With Hall ; Campbo ; Coughlan and Stafford...if they can come in against the swans it will nullify the 'Subiaco hangover ' because of the positions they play. We'll be fresh in the engine room.

Go tigers

Looks like you guys have contracted the stkilda curse

 

[TheFoxhat]

I heard at the after match that Cog's might be out for about
4 weeks with it ....

 

[LC_15]

Coggo, Hall and Stafford are all set to return this week.

Coggo was on the track last night according to reports, Campbo was not. He is doubtful.
