Watched the replay of Aliir dropping the mark and he looked to be in pain when he went down. He took a long time to recover and try to collect the loose ball.

Time to dig deep, might have to try Marshall in defence and partner him with Skinner.

 

[Schulzenfest]

So three long term injuries to KPD's by the end of Round 1.



Imagine if we hadn't signed Skinner.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Oh no. Anyway.

 

[PatientMental]

We might actually lose to hawks at this rate.

And we haven't has any covid related omissions.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Jeez Lienert would be handy about now

 

[Us against the rest]

Oh well that's footy.

 

[PatientMental]

Yeah but we need to bring in two kids not just 1.

Lienert would be handy but not enough cover for 2.

 

[Chachi]

Fox saying Aliir out for up to 12 FFS

 

[ROBBBO]

So all 3 tall defenders are injured, perfect

That's how proper ankle injuries work.

None of this is a surprise.

This is football, good teams cover player losses, good teams win.

Losers make excuses.

So basically the complete opposite of what Ken said post game

Shocking.

I can't believe what he said.

Yep. Really need Skinner to play a role for us now, but we still need someone else.

Don't recon the answer is Pasini, doesn't have the frame or strength for that, at most he's a third tall.
Marshall isn't nearly strong enough to be a lock down defender and no where near good enough in the air to cover Aliir's intercepting role.

Maybe swing Finlayson to CHB or pull something out of nowhere and try Lord in defence ?

Coach tries to be positive based on a lack of information, media tries to be negative and blow things out of proportion to make a headline.............

Ken must think we're as stupid as he is. Anyone with half a brain cell could see Duurs had broken his collarbone.

12-10 season incoming. Another successful year for Widdle Cwub

This is where coaches need to earn their money. Something creative to get us out of a tight spot. For all of Mark Williams shortcomings, always felt he had options up his sleeve for situations like this.

Hinkley, well, he has proven form to not respect the different types of roles that fit within a reasonable football structure and follows a more "next soldier up" approach. This has burnt us in the past. I recall in his first year (?) refusing to replace Trengove at CHB and losing 5 in a row.

Really hoping he doesn't just bring in Sinn and Motlop and expect Jonas and Burton to somehow play taller overnight.

Bring in Skinner and Pasini and maybe bolster the flanks with a bit more class to support. Rozee is struggling, maybe run him back there and push Jones up.

Let's wait for the scan results before reading too much into things first.

May not be as bad as they're saying.

Of course it could be worse too !!!

[Macca19]

This is marvellous.

Skinner come on down!

 

[Gryllis]

Talk about unlucky. A few weeks ago, we looked well stocked for (admittedly a bit undersized) key defenders.

Hopefully Skinner can slot right in. Finlayson played a little bit in defence for GWS, so conservative Ken will most likely send him back there rather than Marshall. I hope he doesn't decide to use Burton as a third tall when he's established himself as being our best option on danergous smaller forwards.

If only we hadn't delisted goldsack lol

It's an insane situation that we've found ourselves in. There isn't a team in the league who could adequately cover three key defenders all getting long term injuries within a week of each other. Still having Jonas and Skinner probably even puts us ahead of where most teams would be in this scenario.
