Good point about rising temps and hard ground’s being an issue. I also agree on big pre season’s potentially being an issue for aging stars. Poor
Management on the back of a 5 day break did Prestia in and maybe a couple of others.

We shouldn't be crippled by injury in round 3.
No club should.
Same as last season.
Meehan needs to go

I suggest that the post referred to Gibcus' injury this year. Fair to say the ACL cant be pinned on Luke Meehan
This. It was a no brainer. Of out older and injury prone guys, they should have played one of the two games. Even it out.
Tresize was impact when a stumbled over a port player falling across his legs.
Fawcett and Colina are hypertalls and back stress is higher risk for them. It sounds like we are being extra cautious.
Bauer yep. And a lack of info from the club.
Graham. Yep. Although its the last minute of a very hot practice match.
Broad has a 1 week sore calf. Is that a corkie? I'd be surprised if a soft tissue was 1 week only.
Hopper needs knee surgery. Is that on LM?
True but the 2023 hamstring issue was a very poor piece of injury management. Question is does our club have the best strength, conditioning and rehab people. I’d say absolutely not.
Mate, I’m 58 and have been a member/attending games since 1980. It was a bloody long 37 years. I’m not prepared for my kids to put up with the crap that I did. We need to be best practice - and as far I can see we’re not. With 100k members - we should be. No excuses - club needs to be better.
The standard you walk past is what you accept. Block me if you don’t like a contrary view
I'm not going to block you. Nothing wrong with disagreeing with me, purple have been doing it all my life. And they'e all been wrong.
I don't know if we've got the very best. We just don't know enough details to know.
I've done plenty of hammys and a calf or two in my time.
But we gotta be realistic and not blame Gibcus' ACL on the fitness staff. Or Tresize etc
We had injuries in our premiership years.
It helped We had the core team at the peak age. We also had the depth to carry thru.
Prestia needs to help himself too.
Has he ever tried to drop some kg?
Has he tried to yoga or pilates??
This hasn't happened once but 10 times since 2001
I don't know, but i can't remember a really warm summer since about 2016, but if you're right it seems that this hot ground baking summer is only hovering over Punt Rd Richmond. In fact it hasn't even moved a litte down the road to bake Melbourne's surface, or even a short hop across the railway line to give Collingwood a good baking. Darcy Moore may have ventured up Punt Rd a little and got his head baked which might explain his plethora of new ways to butcher the ball in the last line of defence.
He's done a power of work to try and get over his hamstring problems.
the results of our strength and conditioning staff with regard to having players available is terrible abd has been for a while
Something needs to be done
Something needs to be done
Maybe someone stuck a fork in it and the things deflated………much like the supporter base.Our camel is struggling
Too late this season is pretty much over and the damage has now been done.
3 years straight that injuries have killed off our seasons.
Meehan surely won't be there next year he can't be.
