I would love to know who approved Balta to play today. Clearly not right and clearly still hampered badly by the knee. For an explosive agile player, he had no speed, no acceleration and no agility.
 
Honestly do we learn we're a circus the Graham scenario is baffling honesty how this keeps on occurring.
Yet he played through a full game last week on return from his injury. How then is conditioning to blame when he pings in his second game back?
Fridge has always been mega injury prone right from his junior days, perhaps the body is simply close to being shot. Some players bodies are simply old n banged up way before the calendar says they're old.

What? Graham didn't play last week

*smile*, old fart lost track of who's injured n who's back in the team. Still thinking that he's simply one of those types of players gets injured farting n his body just can't handle all the loads of AFL footy.

It doesn't change what we should be reviewing though. The following 4 questions in particular need to be asked of our medical team.

1 - Prestia - Why did we play him off a 5 day break in Round 1
2 - Clarke - Who sent him back on after injuring his knee
3 - Graham - Who said he was good to go yesterday
4 - Balta - Who said he was good to go yesterday

He didn't play last week and obviously he wasn't right to miss last week. With his history you play him after missing a week laughable if anything come back through the vfl.

Never seen anything like what we are going through.

The great Rowdy Piper once said " I never hit a man when he is down... I kick him it's easier."

We are getting kicked while we are down.

if it comes to it, The AFL will probably allow us to draw top up players from the Quadruple Amputees Tourette's representative reserves side,

and change the rules to ban swearing whilst rolling

There's 10 players who'd be in our best starting 18 on that list plus 4 youngsters who we need to get games into.

Take 10 of any teams best players out & they'd be no better than we've been.
