Wouldn't Nank or any other player feel some symptom pre to an injury and report it to this team?
I was referencing Lynch initially.
Syndesmosis is also essentially an impact injury rather than through wear and tear.

Yep. A lot of players selflessly play with a small niggle but risk to get it worse.Also if Nank says he's right to go who's going to stop him unless it's clearly impeding him?
Is it bad luck with Lynch though ? If it’s the same foot he had operated on and his plantar fascia severed, and then thrown back into round 1 after just 2 weeks of proper training, is that bad luck ? Maybe - if it’s the other foot but otherwise I dunno.A syndesmosis injury and Toms foot fracture are just bad F@#$@^$# luck, it looks like the Tigers are cursed again with injuries to all the wrong players.
Prestia doesn‘t look right as well. Is he carrying something?Is it bad luck with Lynch though ?

Short ? Hardwick admitted that was an error. That was just crazy.
Is Graham injured again ? Another one we rushed back in for round 1 off a severely limited pre season.
Hit the boundaryWhen the boss don't give you any money to spend, then obviously you can't spend any.
He is another one looking not right.Prestia doesn‘t look right as well. Is he carrying something?
He was complaining about something when he ran to the bench on Saturday night too. Couldn’t make out what it was but you might be right.Prestia doesn‘t look right as well. Is he carrying something?
Exactly. We had a dream run in 2017 and people expect that every year.Just checked AFL site for injury lists leading in to Round 4.
AFL club average number of injuries is 6.6
Richmond had 6 (and yes, I know what happened on the weekend, all club numbers will probably change)
Numbers ranged from 2 (Bris, PA) to 14 (StK)
AFL is a brutal contact sport. These elite athletes are pushed to the limit and sometimes sh*t happens.
I’m sick of the “blame culture” and the inference that our medical staff are crap; and that we have more injuries than everyone else due to poor player management.
We are definitely not an outlier, our injury numbers are about average compared to all clubs.
It’s not about the number of injuries as it is repeat injuries to the same players eg Short, Lynch, Graham, Tarrant, Prestia etc etc.Just checked AFL site for injury lists leading in to Round 4.

It's hilarious. Meehan was there when we won 3 flags and now he's a goose with no idea.Just checked AFL site for injury lists leading in to Round 4.

He would have been rearranging. If it gets out the umpires will penalise him for demonstrable dissent.I noticed Marlion holding his groin behind the play on Saturday night too.
Might still be favoring that pec strain Redders , I must admit I haven't seen much of him has he been tackling or extending his arms out fully to mark receive the ball tackle or pick the footy up. Was he gesturing to his arm or shoulder chest or legs ect?He was complaining about something when he ran to the bench on Saturday night too. Couldn’t make out what it was but you might be right.
