Which is exactly my point.
Every player out there plays under duress every week we see corked thighs, loose shoulders, broken ribs.
Some play through it, others don’t.

Its much harder to play through a shoulder injury than it is a corked quad, especially as a defender. Plus corks can be absolutely crippling
Number of times Weitering has been subbed off prior to last night:
2024: 0
2023: 0
2022: 1
2021: 0
That's as far back as the data source I'm using goes (https://afltables.com/afl/stats/alltime/carlton.html).
I'm not seeing a whole lot of support for your thesis in those numbers.
number of times subbed off is not an effective measure of a player’s ability to play with injury.

Literally 4 weeks ago against the Giants he got a cork just before half time and played out the whole game.
If you don't like my data, feel free to provide some of your own to back up your assertions.
It’s not that I don’t “like” your data - it’s just that quantitative data is not the most effective measure of an individual’s capacity to play through injury.
Im sure you are aware that Weitering has never played a full season of footy since being drafted - I could respond with the year by year numbers … but I also don’t think that’s the most effective measure of resilience either.
Prefer to base my view on what I’ve seen, read and heard. As I stated from the outset, I expected it would be unpopular.

You might want to double check that one.

The saints being up there I think goes against the argument of getting rid of Russell mid year. They got rid of their fitness boss mid year last year, and as a result of the change of program (apparently), they had a mountain of soft tissue injuries over pre season, and in the early weeks of the season

I don't think we need to get rid of Russell. I think it is more likely that we have to change some of our strategies.

No injury rumours thanks especially the ones doing the rounds on Twitter.
Injury updates will come directly from the Club.
Thanks all!

Please just give us a break…..
You realise Weiters is human and not a robot.
When you talk about players not being resilient names like Martin, Cuningham, Marchbank immediately come to mind, not Weitering.

Tom Morris has reported:
No Weiters at training today, still a chance to play Saturday
Cerra jogging laps
De Koning was on light duties, club denied no hamstring strain but he wasn't doing much. At one stage he grabbed for the right hammy as he turned.

Its a disaster - also heard he rubbed his eye...!
Most likely the De Koning hammy rumour has been confused. Sam DK went down with a hammy on Thursday.

Sounds like Morris was actually at training. If DK was only on light duties, who knows.

Jon Ralph has said that De Koning will be available for the suns game
Might have had an itchTom Morris is reporting that TDK grabbed at his hammy? A bit bloody vague.
The TDK hammy sounds like the Rozee hammy to some degree
Or he just did leg day and is totally fine.
