RSI yes, but not from the scrolling
I think the theory was probably that a harder pre-season would have the opposite effect, making players more resilient.
I often wonder if it should called sports science or sports supposition.
There'd be plenty of literature and real world confirmations to support the theory but it still needs to be implemented correctly such that the athlete can adapt and build resilience before loads are further increased. We have no information as to whether anything was untoward in our approach.
Great more injuries in the injury thread…
Works great when you’re training for athletic non contact sports, train hard and then taper off before an event. Not sure it works that well in the AFL if you’re getting bruised and battered.
The AFL season is a marathon, you don’t want to come out sprinting before the marathon even begins.
Waiting for the update to drop

I'm waiting so I know what we have to work with. If we have multiple players listed as a test, I'd be worried about them breaking down in game again.
I'd rather concentrate on the possibility of new players coming in and changing our sad dynamic of late.

Question is when did he do his quad? How long was he out there with it? He certainly struggled to impact and spent most of his time on the wings, doing no defensive running at all.
He's also been battling a crook shoulder for a few months and probably long term concussion from last year still as well (some silly brain fade standing the mark 50s this year)

It was in the last four minutes of the game - took a mark and come down hobbling. Looked to the bench but obviously it was empty so he finished off the game
Exactly, game was lost I'd have cotton-wooled Cripps, Harry, Weiters half way through the last and grabbed a piece of cardboard and scribbled a "play dead" sign to the troops on field.

Yup, I'd rather lose with kids than lose with the same players under injury clouds.
I remember late in 2007 after another crappy year, and players going in early for surgery, we went into the last game with Paul Bower (12th game), Ryan Jackson (8th game), Michael Jamison (5th game), Shaun Grigg (5th game), Shaun Hampson (2nd game), and Mark Austin (1st game).
Now they didn't all end up world beaters, but I was thrilled to see the future prospects of Jamison and Hampson at the time. It just sold hope.
If we can find just one of these guys who can stand up at the level, after being held back by our VFL form, it will all be worth it. Right now, we just look to have a lot of clutter on our list and I want to be able to confirm it with my own eyes.

Holy shit. When did Andy McKay start working at the club again? 1-2 weeks all around. Even Marchbank who was under concussion protocols.
Williams played on Sunday
Do we bring in Wilson to play the Saad role? Or have Williams go back and do that?
Gonna be a bunch of new faces in the line up this week. Only took the nuclear option for it to happen.
