Get him down to Ezy's top paddock.
The narrative is well and truly out there, and history being re-written, that we have been blessed in previous years and not had injuries to key players. Even a man who normally gets its right- relatively - Harford, is peddling this too.The good thing is according to the press we have not been cruelled by injuries like many of the favoured clubs are when they have four or five out injured!!
The age difference between out youngest and oldest team in 2019 (Adel R13 & GF) of 2.59 was the second-highest ever for a premiership team (after Carlton 1908). 2020 was 14th highest (2.02) and 2017 9th lowest (0.85).The narrative is well and truly out there, and history being re-written, that we have been blessed in previous years and not had injuries to key players.

We spent large periods of 2019 and 2020 without key players for many weeks, mainly first 2/3 of season, then we got em back and rolled into finals ok. But we were ravaged at times - Jack, Edwards, Houli, Cotch, Lynch , Nank, Prestia and others for long periods. Annoys the hell out of me because it is another way of trying to diminish the Tigers’ achievements..
Exactly thanks for that reply..! Love the figuresThe age difference between out youngest and oldest team in 2019 (Adel R13 & GF) of 2.59 was the second-highest ever for a premiership team (after Carlton 1908). 2020 was 14th highest (2.02) and 2017 9th lowest (0.85).
Missing Nankervis, Prestia, Lambert, Astbury, Rance, Riewoldt, Soldo, Bolton... then Cotchin and Edwards pulled out just before the game. Consecutive losses of 37, 67, 33 to be out of the eight after Round 14... the only team that's ever come back from there.
Last year we had three players appear in every game (Riewoldt, Short, Castagna). Hawthorn had two and Adelaide three, and were both nowhere. The other finals sides were at the top of the list with 6-9.
Where we had some luck was being near full strength at finals time. Some people just have selective memories... or want to cheapen our achievements. They probably don't remember writing us off, either.
Yep. Our outs vs opposition outs. Premiership players vs list cloggersThe good thing is according to the press we have not been cruelled by injuries like many of the favoured clubs are when they have four or five out injured!!
one way to encourage veganismDusty needs rest rather than being forced to sire a new breed of super cattle.
They say that the worst part of inseminating a cow is not being able to kiss them on the lips afterwards. But what would I know….Dusty needs rest rather than being forced to sire a new breed of super cattle.
i would say it was more a bump then tackleThe irony that the most dangerous tackle sees no free kick to us & our best player out for the season.
Not sure how the Robinson tackle can be adjudged as dangerous. Just a hard bump by each player. In fact, it looked like Dusty was in the better position to deal out some damage as he was more side-on and hunched for the contact whereas MR laid himself fairly open. As a commentator said at the time, the damage may have been caused mostly by the hard contact punching DM's elbow back into the kidney/lower rib area.The irony that the most dangerous tackle sees no free kick to us & our best player out for the season.
I didn't say it was deliberate but it was definitely dangerous even if just bad luck due to a stray elbow. Otherwise Dusty would be playing this week.Not sure how the Robinson tackle can be adjudged as dangerous.
Agree Leon Cameron.Not sure how the Robinson tackle can be adjudged as dangerous. Just a hard bump by each player.

The problem for DM was that he was trying to do something with the ball at the same time, which most likely prevented him from bracing and protecting himself further. Typically, he was trying to do the team thing rather than save himself.
Don't think you can attach any blame to MR. Just one of those unfortunate accidents that occur in a really tough contact sport. Both guys displaying a heap of courage, either could have been hurt.
Just dumb luck it was the wrong one!

The kidney is sacrosanct. Protect the kidney!You have a point there. Electing to bump with the opponent sustaining an injury normally results in MRO or tribunal. Or is it only head injuries that count (concussion, broken jaw, chipped tooth etc)
