Hey that’s mineHope it didn’t look like this.
Cunningham....seriously lol....would want to be back a helluva lot sooner than the new year coming off an almost 2 year ACL on a 1 year deal...So, injury list/managed at the moment consists of?
Pittonet - PCL
Cuningham - ACL
Kennedy - Lisfranc
Hewett - back
Walsh - back
Durdin - shoulder
Philp - groin/foot stress
All supposedly expected to be in full training in the new year.
Pfffff why would any reporters want to fact check and be accurate?I think Plow has looked at the injury list in round 22 and assumes that’s the case 3 months later.
Walsh was running laps of princes park 6 weeks ago, Cuningham is well over the ACL if he had of put calf/hammy/pinky it would help to be believable

Cunners 100% suffered (at least 1) soft tissue injury after his ACL recovery, I just can't exactly remember which one(s). He later went interstate to deal with his LTIs.Cunningham....seriously lol....would want to be back a helluva lot sooner than the new year coming off an almost 2 year ACL on a 1 year deal...
Blues must 'own' late-season collapse, Voss declaresSo, injury list/managed at the moment consists of?
Pittonet - PCL
Cuningham - ACL (and associated hamstring/other soft tissue complications)
Kennedy - Lisfranc

Key defender Caleb Marchbank and important midfielder Matt Kennedy were restricted to running laps after suffering injuries late in the season.
Broken spirit and shattered dreams.Blues must 'own' late-season collapse, Voss declares
Apparently you can add Marchbank to that list, though not sure what the injury is.
Would take me hours of typing to tell you why you are wrong.And yet we did nothing to address backup for an obviously injury prone list did we?
I can't take another season of collapse. Sometimes it feels like we are just shuffling hacks around and we never get to the next level because we think somehow they will all suddenly come good?
I think we should have been a lot more pro active getting quality back up. I know many disagree.
Tell me why I'm wrong.
Because if a player like Dan Howe is mentioned for exactly the reasons you have given, people crack it and reckon he is pushing others out of the team.And yet we did nothing to address backup for an obviously injury prone list did we?

Not sure who that is..but in general how could we assume Marchy will be fit for a season? We can't do that and we need A grade replacements ready. Do we have those?Because if a player like Dan Howe is mentioned for exactly the reasons you have given, people crack it and reckon he is pushing others out of the team.
I love your positivity and obviously am a neighsayer.Would take me hours of typing to tell you why you are wrong.
YOU ARE WRONG!
Short reply, The players we have retained have too much potential upside to quit now their underlying issues have had the opportunity to be resolved. We bit the bullet assessing McDonald, who, if fit was a great key back up at either end. We now need to replace him later in the draft to allow those backups you refer to, to be addressed, long term rather than the revolving door of mature stop gap journeymen. We have enough “imports” in the team. We have beefed up our development team, IT IS TIME TO DEVELOP OUR OWN! (Our salary cap position also demands developing our own, we can’t afford second and third tier fill-ins).
I don’t know about “shuffling hacks”. This is the year our “unsound” (horsie term)players have been given time to recover and rebuild. I am confident a decent percentage will “thrive”, those who don’t will be gone come season’s end. Both opportunity and importantly, contracts will run out.
This is the year of reckoning.
Howe is not going to replace tall players. Could play half back, wing, or mid with a lean towards tagging. Right age (26), fit and from a good system. Mongrel box ticked. Not A grade - you can't expect that in depth players or we'd win the next 8 flags.Not sure who that is..but in general how could we assume Marchy will be fit for a season? We can't do that and we need A grade repalcements ready. Do we have those?
That is depressing to hear. How bad/concerning is it?Concerns surrounding Walshy atm.
Has there been an update on Walsh from the club? Did he end up going in for surgery?
