[Sin City]

Gee I hope we have a much better run next year.

 

[blue gunslinger]

I started reading thinking this was the inj report as of this morning
Cheers for the heart attack

 

[Meldrum23]

How long is Carrazzo out for?

 

[LoveMyBlueBoys]

Read somewhere that he'll probably be right for next week. Could also be complete rubbish

 

[Silvagnis]

I'll go he if Carrazzo is right to play.

Ratten should stop trying to be so smart with the spin and his press.

He only ends up looking dumb.

Shouldn't have commented on Freo either because he only ended up backtracking.

 

[LoveMyBlueBoys]

What are the chances of you changing your pic there TG? It's freaking me out

 

[Bingles]

With all of the injuries that we've suffered this year on top of everything else that had gone wrong during the off-season it's a miracle that we've done as well as we have.

To make the finals went against what all of the so-called analysts believed that we were capable of this year. I know that our coaching staff is much maligned but surely they have to get a fair amount of credit where it is due.

Can we do better? I'm not doubting that we can. However, considering all of the injuries to key players that we've had along the way, the form slumps to players who had been important players at different parts of the season (Andrew Walker, Setanta O'hAilpin, etc.) and the unexpected drop offs by certain players (Bret Thornton) and the club has exceeded expectations.

I think many of us here believed that we would make the finals if we had a good run this season. To achieve what we have to this point is an outstanding achievement. A win next week would be icing on the cake, so to speak.

Injuries, umpires, travel - poor little Carlton.

 

[The Exorcist]

Our draw also included "top 8" teams

 

[juzza316]

Judd didnt even miss a game with his injury, Gibbs hasnt missed a game, Joseph missed one or two, Wiggins isnt even in our best 30 players, Johnson isnt best 22, so I am not sure what the point of this thread is when you could do similar or even worse with alot of other teams in the competition where players have had niggles or missed a couple of games

 

[Bell Ringer]

It's a contact sport.

You play with fire you're gonna get burnt.

Houlihan doesn't rate a mention? I'd rate his absence as one of the main reasons our forward line has lost potency.

Kreuzer's knee and maybe Walker's collar bone would be the only things that have hurt us more this year.

 

[Blues_Man]

Every team has injuries ..we are no different ..not worth whining about though.

Have you heard of Houlihan?

Worst injury run we've had for some time.

We have 2 of our best 22 out injured atm- one who you haven't even mentioned.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Every team has injuries ..we are no different ..not worth whining about though.

Fair call.

 

[Silvagnis]

Walker was in our best 22 before he broke his collarbone.

Who was whining?

I thought you were trying to state a fact without whining. That we've endured more than our fair share of injuries this year. Whether or not the players themselves have missed games is besides the point.

Sure, Carrazzo technically didn't miss a game but he got injured early in the game (first quarter). That's worse than actually missing a game as it throws out the rotation completely.

I'd much rather go into a game with a player out of the side than be a man down the entire game like we were.
