You can add lemmey (calf) and Durdin (quad) to the ever growing list of strain injuries at Carlton.

Thats unbelievable. Soft tissue problems off the scale. Diet, warm ups, discipline, work loads, warm downs...... something isn't being done properly.
I think it's clear that Silvagni deliberately recruited players who constantly get strains just to sabotage Andrew Russell.
He's so diabolical that he even managed to do it after he'd been sacked by the club.

Anyone else heard Docherty will be available for the Brisbane game? Heard he's tracking ahead of schedule.
Not sure.
My brain has a good news filter at the moment. Only allows for bad news to be received.
Can we just ban our players from having calves?
They seem to be more trouble than they're worth at this point. Get rid, I say.

so you thinks it’s more feasible to have humans with no calf’s as opposed to simply getting rid of Russell?
He’s had enough time…time to give someone else a go. Can’t get any worse.
A calf at his age???
Your brain has been Carltoned…

The game has become super quick so some level of injuries is expected but how some teams continuously have more than their fair share is puzzling To me. Is it just due to SOS recruiting too many of the injured variety or bad management or both.
That’d be just shy of 4 weeks (off the 4-6 weeks prognosis), so good news if so & much needed inclusion.
He was running last week.
In seriousness I think list management has to be seen as a large component with it. Not only did we bring in injury prone players but we've extended them.
No doubt SOS/we went after a few speculative trades for talented players on discount due to spotty injury history. They would be bargains had they come off but I don't think 1 injury prone player we got on the cheap has paid off.
If you looked at the injury list from any random week from the past 2 or 3 years and you'd see several familiar names yet they're still on the roster.
Interestingly I just listened to King on Whatelys show. One of the things he talked about was the amount of soft tissue injuries across the league.
One thing he observed was that the players association pushed for a shorter pre-season of ~8 weeks where previously most were a few weeks longer than that. He wondered out loud if that shorter pre-season has been partly responsible for the soft tissue outcomes.
I'm not sure where I stand on it and he didn't/I don't have hard figures but it was a sort of thinking out loud discussion. Interesting to think about.

Surely we have a penetrometer.

Fast running couldn't possibly be the cause of our problems.

Not bad out injury list is only 4 ..
Philp Williams can't count same as cunners Marchy and Martin (they just permanent on and off it )
Has anyone checked out the West Coast injury list for this week? I just did (out of anxiety obviously) and it is pretty horrific reading.
Not only do they have the worst injury list I think I've ever seen a club have (McGovern, Naitanui, Ryan, Sheed, Shuey, Hurn, Yeo, Cripps, Cole and 8 others all listed) but they are absolutely taking the piss out of their fans and listing them all as 'TBC' each week - currently 12 players listed as TBC. Went to the West Coast board to see what the deal was and there's no need to bother... there's quite a discussion about it and it's been in their media too.
They still have some decent talent playing (Kelly, Barass, Darling, Gaff, and Shuey/Hurn possible this week) and are actually in decent form tbh - a 40 point loss to Port in Adelaide is quite respectable in the circumstances.
I honestly hope that we're really knuckling down and come out focused and ready to go. There's a big win and a reboot of our form (a la Geelong, who turned big wins against Hawthorn and West Coast into something more...) on offer if we just step up and take it

If you want to see something truly depressing then have a look at Adelaide’s injury list…one bloke I’ve never heard of!
