Rumours are Marchbank and Cuningham are already gone. We really need to clear out our playing list of permanently injured players.
I could see Marchbank and Cuningham being joined by Jack Martin seeking a trade, Fantasia getting paid out a year early on his deal and Sam Durdin being delisted.
Zach Williams too good to go and we would need to manage his fitness better.
Hopefully that helps our perpetual injury list.
I'd like to see Zac shed some kgs. Has looked heavy ever since he joined us.Rumours are Marchbank and Cuningham are already gone. We really need to clear out our playing list of permanently injured players.

I just don't want to admit to myself that those are part of the problemYour post needs more Cottrell and Cerra.
TDK seemingly can't play #1 ruck for more than half a year either.
And Walsh has been playing half fit for 3 years. Has the spine of a 60 year old.
I've read shorter Russian novels ffs.
The scary thing about that compared to other teams injury list is that all bar 1 maybe 2 (O'Keefe, Fantasia) of those players lay claims to being best 23 when fit.
B: Boyd, S Durdin,
HB: Saad, Marchbank, M Carroll
C: Cottrell, Cerra, Fantasia
HF: Fogarty, McKay, Silvagni
F: O'Keefe, Curnow, Martin
Foll: TDK, Docherty, Cuningham
You do realise that Russell in no way oversees the physio and medical departments, right?With an eye-popping 17 on the official injury list released on the AFL app article, Carlton have by far the most players out with some teams like Adelaide having just 5 out. Brisbane have 11 out.
Adelaide XXXXX
Brisbane XXXXXXXXXXX
Carlton.. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hopefully next year we get a better balance for high performance. 17 out is going to kill any team. What’s even more damning is how many of our on field players are actually carrying lower grade injuries (suspect Walsh and Weiters to name two). I think the last 6 weeks may have been an accumulation of injuries, evident and hidden, and it’s just reached a critical mass now where we have imploded.
I'm with you for all of this, right up until suggesting we dump Fantasia, who must be on a fairly humble salary.Rumours are Marchbank and Cuningham are already gone. We really need to clear out our playing list of permanently injured players.

It's time to play the fringe players, test them out, sort out who's tradeable and aim for some decent draft picks.As crazy as it sounds, next week still might not be a dead rubber, even if we lose to the Eagles.
If Freo lose to the Giants in Sydney this week, our game against the Saints will be live.
Oh, I definitely agree.This decimated team ain't going deep into finals this season.
Exactly and playing banged up player's like Walsh and Acres in the next two games makes zero sense to me.Oh, I definitely agree.
I wouldn't risk any injured players, and I doubt we'll win either game.
I was just making the point that if Freo lose to Giants in Sydney, our game against the Saints will be live.
You forget 2012. How many did we have left to select from halfway through the season? 25?Worst I have ever seen
Let’s look for the positives here - it’s due for the next decline.
I reckon we could carry two injury prone best 22 players in McGovern and Williams, but to try carry Cuningham, Marchbank and Martin too?? That's absolutely crazy!
Bring back Doch and Sos, remove Cuningham, Marchbank and Martin, bring in 3 to replace them and you'll see we'll have a much much better year.
Fog isn’t injury prone. None of his injuries are recurringDoc, SOS and Fog are all injury prone players too.
We are only 1 injury off fielding a fully injured team!
I’m sure we can achieve this plus a full bench and sub … hang in there …We are only 1 injury off fielding a fully injured team!
He did a lot of the preseason. At times during the preseason I felt he was koreIIRC there were reports here that he was in a boot for a bit.
However, I can't tell you one way or the other that it wasn't.
I hate my post. I just want an honest club.
