Why is it .....

[Mighty_bombers]

That people dont like Injury players from last year ?

Yet....

Everyone is picking Raines who miss most of last year yet his almost the number one backman in everyones team

YET

IF you say your picking

Chapman , etc - people say oh but he missed last year but yet u dont mind picking up Raines who missed last year?
or
Malceski is another one that people say of will his knee hold up yet they jump on raines who also been out for 2 years with Knee problems

theres alot more but they are just some


I Just dont get it , why is it ??

 

[Notorious_29]

because raines is at 190k
chapman is at 410k

at 410k you can pick players that have played 22 games for the last 3-4 years.

at 190k there isnt much better.


pretty simple mate.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Its because people get sucked into hype and once a player train gets going its hard to derail.

Also, guys like Chappy and Drummond have extended histories of injury problems. Its not like they just had a one-off injury last year - it happens every year.

1 - IF they have played 22 games for the last 3-4 years they would be due to break down or do poor

2 - if someones been inj for 2 years in arow u would think they would be over there inj and be good to go for 22 games

MAYBE... ??

Disagree with that. Chappy had a shocker last year, but before last year he played all of Geelong's games 3 out of the last 5 years. Not exactly a bad strikerate.

That's a fallacy mate.

That's a terrible attempted use of mathematics since injuries and recovery are not random events.

Completely missed the point.

Key word - fallacy.

Kane Cornes is well overdue then.

Some players just have bodies and game styles better suited to not getting injuries. Soft tissue are the biggest issues because they are recurring.

 

[Lakey91]

Goodes missed a couple last year, and look at crouch!

This thread is a dud.

Arent you the guy who picked Gilmore?

 

[Hodges]

Haha, burn.

 

[SydneySwans]

M Bombers, please stop trying to defend ur thread
his injury isnt related to the past so u can't claim u saw this coming
everyone picked him up because he was so cheap and had reasonable potential to make money
Lots of people dont pick chapman because for 410 000 u want durablity so u dont have to go sideways

 

[matty_hawk]

I currently have all 3 players in my team. so am i good?

Its about what you want if you are on these players and they are doing well, best bet is to STFU and enjoy yourself.
