It was always going to be a long season for the dogs and headache riddled!
I do believe at seasons end we need to look at dumping a few of the 'almost, high potentials' that do nothing but keep getting injured. These guys being:
1. T Williams
2. S Higgins
3. E Wood
None of which can string 3 or 4 games together without needing time off. The likes of Geelong/Collingwood have had super runs with injuries, hence their recruiting is obviously targeting resilient players or just blind luck! The above 3 hold a place due to their potential, which they have, but have never lived up to it. Their injuries upset team balance (in and out all the time), and take up valuable salary space.
Move them on, maybe get something for 2 & 3.
Do not agree with this post on many levels...
- we don't exactly have players banging down the door being kept out by these blokes - so it all it would achieve is we lose 3 good and experienced players. The last thing we need atm.
- bad culture approach. I hope you don't ever have a string of bad luck set-backs in your life (that are out of your control) - cause under this policy see you later. These players devote themselves to the club they deserve better than being dumped when they have treatable injuries.
- Cooney would be long gone under your policy...
