That he is - a very good physio. But that wasn’t my point
Didn't see Weber at Sunday's game.
Thought Ross didn't pull any punches in Webber's direction post-match
You have quite an injury toll now?
"It’s a big number now, I think we are looking at 14 or 15 players on our list. It’s a bit of a challenge, a fair bit of quality in there. There are more than we desire in there. I think not only have Richmond proven to be the best team, they have the best availability as they did last year. We’d all like to get their secret for success of player availability. If you look around, GWS, Port Adelaide, those teams around the mix are losing players. It’s going to be very difficult to compete against Richmond with a full list."
When Ross became coach of St Kilda first thing he did was get rid of their notorious "Training Services" and bring in his mate David Misson after which they went from the team with consistently the worst to consistently the best player availability.
Rightly so.
Needs to be a full review of this department IMO.
Blokes like Logue didn't even get on the park this year.

Far out, the majority of our top end are on that list. We’ll be fielding half a Peel side this week.

We’re definitely getting something wrong.
My Eagle supporting mate was suggesting we were mad to continue playing Sandi whilst we’re rebuilding as he won’t be part of our premiership tilt. I explained that the stop gap in Griffin did his knee and we couldn’t get him back playing. Then the same for his planned replacement in Clarke. The same for the developing ruckman in Apeness.
Now there’s a huge gap between him and a 19 year old Darcy who needs support while he develops but has been unavailable for most of the year anyway because he’s did his knee too.
I seem to recall we had a review a few years ago. Could well be time for more drastic action.
That is no good. Hope all is ok for Webber.
But seriously there needs to be an extensive review of our whole S & C Team/program. I get Larkins comments about bad luck but we have had more than our share this year.

What is the total number of soft tissue injuries we've had this season compared with other seasons? And how many were sustained at home vs away? I'd be curious if the new stadium has had an impact
Haven't done the research myself but here's WC's current injury list:
That's prima facie evidence that our epidemic of soft-tisue injuries can't be attributed to the new stadium. To the extent that it may have had an initial influence you would expect the S&C people to adjust for it as WC seem to have done.
It'd be interesting to compare it to the same round last year to see if we're improving in this area. I can remember Walters and Blakely being out, did Fyfe, Sandi and Mundy finish last year?
We have more than our share every year.

Webber got to go. We were blaming south freo oval for the past decade. Can we blame cockburn ? I have not blamed cockburn for far too long))
Just once it would be nice to face a important stretch of games with a full list wouldn't it , next year is probably important for a lot of people at the club

Looks like Ryan, Wilson and Switta onto the injury list if this mornings training is anything to go by.

Not surprised Wilson is sore, Carlton boys really went hard at him every chance they got.
Going to be a hit to the backline and our rebound. Shame if Switta doesn't pull up.
Ryan’s TBA is now season
Walters TBA is now ok - RTB said he is playing
Salim any update on Bennell and his TBA?
I imagine Wilson is being managed. Can’t afford him out with Ryan done.
Bennell should be playing at Peel this week.

Bennell trained spot on, some thought he trained well enough for senior spot, Sandi ,Hill and Hamling all trained in a rehab group
He's regularly targeted.
Be good when Logue's down there to provide another option and ride shotgun.
Thanks Salim - Seen a tweet that indicates Ross could commented that he trained fully and will play at Peel.
