I was suprised that nobody mentioned this from Footy Confidential on Monday night.
Many times I have stuck up for our strength and conditioning department and the results they are getting with keeping the players on the park and running out a game.
Well now it is official, the Tigers are at the bottom of the soft tissue injury ladder!! :clap
The current leaders are of course the Bombers by a comfortable margin, a team with an enormous amount of resources dedicated to strength and conditioning. The Tigers with far more modest resources are setting the standard for the other 15 teams in the AFL.
Even the older players and some of the hammy prone players from the past, like Richo, have had an amazing run of injury free games (touch wood).
I know this is a KPI of the S&C department of every team, and many on this site are quick to jump up and bag the S&C department whenever they get beaten up by bigger, stronger and usually older opponents. But I hope some of the critics take some time to consider that the Tigers are currently the league leaders in this area and give some credit where it is due.
