Re: AFL
I doubt you'd win if your best midfielder, most experienced defender, best tagger, best small forward/midfielder, second best small forward one of your best half backs, 2 young gunish tall forwards, best outside mid, good young inside mid, your first round pick from last year, your second round pick from last year and your 3rd round pick from last year were all out injured PLUS one of your runners got injured in the first 10 minutes of the game (ours did).
For Geelong that would be like Ablett, Scarlett, Ling, Chapman, Steve Johnson, Milburn, Tom Lonergan, Gamble, Corey, Prismall, Harry Taylor - but better, Dawson Simpson - but better and Scott Simpson - but better.

Re: AFL
Dude stop using that bloody excuse. It is getting old. On the scoire card it doesn't say "they lost by four points, but oh, they had a few players out so lets not hold that against them". It says "Richmond wins by four points", full stop.
Oh and since Gamble and Prismall barely get a game, they hardly count

Re: AFL
Ok, Ok, you make a very fair point. But with the extent of injuries you guys have had, surely something in the back rooms isn't functioning well. I wouldn't know, as I know crap all about Essendon, but that many injuries and the extent of them, maybe something isn't right. Hey and having all these injuries may be a blessing in diguise, gives a lot of your young fellas a trundle where they wouldn't usually get one

Re: AFL
Mmm I dunno. Fletcher has been playing on a broken rib and hand for awhile, McVeigh's was just an overuse/reoccurred injury, Welsh got concussed, Monfries just twisted his ankle Yablett style, so did Neagle, Gumby is always injury prone - was injured in a match. But I don't know what goes on behind the scenes either but it isn't un common for young players to get injured because they are playing at a much higher level of intensity then before.
Lol yeh, Atkinson and Dyson are getting games they don't deserve.
