if the other sides had an injury to similar important players like we have had out for long spells how would they go?
adelaide crows
otto-carey
holland-smart
blumfield-stevens
without smart their backline would struggle.probally about where they are now.
carlton
otto-kouta
holland-whitnall
blumfield-lappin
would stuggle even further.probally be last atm.
collingwood
otto-tarrant
holland-rocca
blumfeild-luciria.
would struggle big time with no real threat in front of goal.would be about 13th-16th.
brisbane
otto-lynch
holland-micheal
blumfeild-ackermanis.
the reason they are a great side. would cover those players well.1-3
essendon
otto-lloyd
holland-wellman
blumfield-M.johnson
like the crows very close to our problems.
fremantle
otto-pavlich
holland-longmuir
blumfield-hazelby.
dare say despite their home ground advantage they would struggle.10th-14th.
geelong
otto-king
holland-scarlett
blumfield-riccardi.
cant fall much lower.15th-16th.
hawthorn
otto-everitt
holland-thompson
blumfield-dixon
schwab would walk-14th-16th
melbourne
otto-white
holland-bizzell
blumfield-robertson.
would struggle down back but about the same as of now.
north melbourne
otto-burton/porter
holland-watt
blumfield-grant
shinbonner spirit would have them about the same pos.atm.
port adelaide
otto-primus
holland-wakelin
blumfield-c cornes
depth is ok would be around the mark 2-4
sydney
otto-goodes
holland-saddington
blumfield-maxfield
would no doubt struggle even at home-10th-13th.
west coast
otto-gardiner
holland-jackovich
blumfield-matera.
still enough depth to win at home. away another story.4th-8th.
western bulldogs
otto-grant
holland-darcy
blumfield-brown

all and all our position atm is very under-rated by most of those so called experts in the media.

I wouldn't be counting Dudfield as a loss. The guy has never contributed anything to the side and you can't miss what you never had.

true however he did have a interupted pre-season and he does have talent you cant deny that.

Good post j2r.

There's also the fact that Stafford, Razor and Richo have been out in varying combinations too.

A lot of teams can cope with 1 or 2 talls out but we've got through with them all on the injury list.

Add to that Duncan Kellaway too. The best tagger in the league.
Yeah I can read your minds TF and DF, but Danny and our midfield would love to have Dunc in the team.

Collingwood were almost full strength last night against Port over there. They made our loss look honourable indeed.

Geez Rocca and Tarrant must be the two biggest big game flops in the league.

Glad they're not in our team.

I'm really proud of the Tiges efforts this year and don't care what other people reckon. Noone seems to acknowledge the injury problems we've had.

Not only the big name players, but the second string players getting a game because of the other half dozen or so we've had out injured.

If only Danny can get a full list together soon.

Go Tiges.

Actually Rosy, I would like to see Duncan back in the side sooner rather than later. Johnson and Coughlan need some support in the packs and Duncan certainly provides some physical presence. But I may change my mind when I see him kick again :)

Whats that about glass houses and stones and the people inside them? Richmond wrote the book on failing in big games so I don't think we are in any position to comment on Collingwood.

And I seem to remember Richo and Ottens doing sweet bugger all during the 2001 finals series.
