Which player can you least afford to have injured?

[ElwoodRoo1]

Has to be Leigh Colbert, the General of our defence.

 

[LongBomb]

Scarlett.

Thankfully he has been one of our few players who have not spent a significant time on the sidelines this season.

 

[masai]

Shane Parker.

 

[Blues_Man]

doesn't really matter for us at the moment ...but i would say Barnaby French as we have no other half decent tap ruckman (Bryan is not tall enough )

 

[dan warna]

Saints - probably Aaron Hamill, his presence sorts out of forward line structure which is very important when you look at the talent of those down there

Honourable mentions to Hayes, Ball, Kosi

I would say hammil THEN Harvey

the games we were over run in were where harvey got injured during the game.

the current winning streak coincides with bangers return.

he adds a depth of experience to our midfield that it really makes me worry when he eventually retires.

watch the North game again mate, When North hit us, it was Harvey who was everywhere putting out spot fires, and running ball forward.

The man is a legend. probably up there with the greatest players of St Kilda and definately amongst the greateast of all time.

 

[lifelike_]

Brian Harris. He's been our last line all year, and to lose him at this stage of the season would leave a massive hole in our defence.

 

[pazza]

Dustin Fletcher. The barometer of Essendon and the rock of the backline.

You only need to look to the last quarter of the Swans game and last week's match against the Hawks to see just why.

 

[gandaal]

Barnaby French. When he was play earlier in the year we won a game or two. He got injuried and we lost 12 or so games on the trot. He came back and we've won two more games. It seems pretty obvious to me that he's currently our most important player.

 

[The Schammerman #3]

Anthony Rocca and Josh Fraser. If both of them are out we are ********ed everytime.

 

[Bloods Rule!]

This thread seems to have renewed relevance after tonight's game.

 

[Coin_Toss]

Anthony Rocca.
