Injury report including a statement of our injury and rehab policies
Teach them how to run, how to move, how to lift. Lov eit. Wierd that it wasn't normal in any case.

And they are beign very coservative with injuries. Taking the full itme and building back thoroughly. Just music to my ears.
 
bit hard to gauge a player who doesn't get any midfield time in the seniors as a mid. My comment regarding the VFL is he stacks up well as a mid in the VFL (go look at his numbers) but he doesn't get that same chance in the seniors when selected, he plays bit roles.

The club is playing him wrong, put him in the position we actually drafted him for and lets really see if he can sink or swim. If he sinks then ill agree with you doubters and move him on.
I see similar, IMO he should be played as a mid as you said, then if he fails in the position he knows and was drafted to play, then try him forward or where ever.

Agree, just a bit irritating that we are calling him a bust when he doesn't play midfield. The last time he actually got a decent crack was that final in Brissy and even though we lost, he actually did quite well.

Many critics here seem to just think "oh he only got 6 disposals against West Coast when he got picked so he is no good and doesn't deserve to play midfield, delist".
 
Better than Rance at the same age
We need KPFs.
Backiline: We lost Rioli & Grimes. Brown was fine. Lose Young & Gibcus from round zero.

Miller, Blight KPDs. maybe Kosi, Trainor.
Brown to returm when fit.
Balta out for 4.

Relatively settled.

Up forward, Balta, Naismith, Ryan, Kosi, Lefau, Lynch for 4 Bauer, Kmac

Lost Baker, JG, Dusty, Bolton.

we couldn;t take advantage when our mids got the ball in. Need every bit of goal scoring power. Lynch, Bauer & 1 or 2 KPFs.
Whoever. Fawcett if he's good enough

He comes across so much more professional, has a clear strategy to give our boys long careers and get the best out of themselves instead of shuffling the cards every preseason to see what works and what destroys half our players.

and look how that turned out
 
Injury report was an interesting read, not sure if this is the case but did they put Gibcus on a similar timeline to Hotton or was he just his running buddy? The way it was outlined made it sound like the players were cheering for both of them.

Gibcus not a good healer it seems. Is it just his genetics or does he struggle with being a professional during rehab?

They’d see him get out competed and performed by better clearance mids all week at in drills and training. They don’t need to see it on game day too.

Now that bloke mesmerized carlton supporters for years and the Richmond

Hampson , Pruess , Elton all stole an AFL career
Hammer wasn’t great, but not in Tod Elton’s class.
If you had have said Cleve Hughes or Jayden Post , I’d have paid that!
KB was massive Post fan, had him penciled in as our long term chf.
