So 4 clubs worse and on par with 6 others
I think a better judge is games lost in experience.
Or how long you are without best 22
Although, we showed in the 2nd half of last year that we can beat strong sides with missing important players
It's what good sides do

We've had a high injury toll over a number of years at the end of preseason. You were the one who started bringing in this comparison to last year. I'm saying both years are bad.
My opinion is restated a couple of times as the injury situation evolved. On no occasion was I (or anyone else with a similar post) able to post that opinion without the foetal position gang going into full on shut-down mode.
I think you should either respond to the substance of someone's post or keep it to yourself.

Better to start slow and finish fast like plenty of premiers have than the reverse like St Kilda. The fast start and drift off. Geelong mastered it last year too. Player management philosophy. I bet most would play if it were a must win game.
I find the foetal comment in poor taste, I'm not shuting conversation down, just interested in clarity
If you can't substantiate your claim that our preseason is worse than last year, it's pointless continuing this debate
As a sidenote, rather than posting your views on all things Russell and HP in multiple threads, maybe we can use this for unsubstantiated claims
News - Andrew Russell to step away at season’s end
https://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/1621986/russell-to-step-away-at-seasons-end THE Carlton Football Club can confirm that after 26 years within the AFL industry, Director of High Performance Andrew Russell will step away from football at the conclusion of the 2024 AFL season. Following six...

Two ways to look at the injury list. There are too many best 22 and top end players on it and it's a bad one. Or most of them are training in some capacity and will be back within the month.
A lot of those players are recurring injuries and injury prone players so none of us can really be surprised there.
At one stage we had nearly everyone training and a really fit list. Things have gone south in the last month. Are we pushing things too hard? Probably not unless David King is right about our training being super hard.
Weitering is a standard footy injury, you're going to have these on your list. Silvagni is a standard footy injury. Marchbank is bad luck. Motlop is an accidental injury. Carroll is a standard footy injury and Walsh is concerning.

I saw a picture of him yesterday - appears he is back training with the main group. Fingers crossed.

Sam Durdin would not surprise one bit if he came in given Brisbane's tall forwards.
Kemp can't keep up with anyone taller than him and we prefer McGovern to play the Lever role and intercept.
I kind of sit in the middle of both sides of the argument.
There are a few teams starting the year with injury lists similar to us so we arent alone. If we split our first 2 games and get everyone back after the bye the impact will be neglible as we probably weren't beating Brisbane anyway and should still beat Richmond.
On the flipside it's absolutely not a good result and something the fitness staff need to review. To hit the starting line missing so many important players in a year we are meant to contend is disappointing. Also, if the Walsh and Marchbank injuries linger it becomes a much bigger problem.

Marchbank is ill not injured.
Impact is the same.

Sure, but Marchy's illness is not on the fitness staff.
Didn't say it was.

It was implied... "On the flipside it's absolutely not a good result and something the fitness staff need to review. To hit the starting line missing so many important players in a year we are meant to contend is disappointing. Also, if the Walsh and Marchbank injuries linger it becomes a much bigger problem".
They were actually separate points but fair enough if that's how you've taken it. Not nessecarily blaming the fitness staff for the other injuries either. Just saying we need to look at it.

So Weiters was on SEN today, said that they knew it was a 10-12 week injury when he tore his calf.
Why did the club tell us 6-8?
