Post by: Tiger Tragic on April 11, 2012, 04:25:00 PM: Cogs - would be captain now but for the injury and contested possessions wouldn't have been our weakness of recent times, that's for sure.

Was our first cotchin without the fire works. Losingvour no.1 mid killed a whole generation at punt road. Would have been captian and a luke ball type.

Brown 2.

7-2 was on form best player in afl. His injury went took hope of a semi-wallace-rebuild rebound to finals to the realization our list was shot. Needed major work.

Who knows what kind of stuff richo would have been if he had a better injury run. I hope the angels watch overb lids dust cotch roo

Agree Brown, but don't agree we were on the way to the finals then, we got thumped that night and there was nothing Brown could of done about that even if he had made it through the game.

I don't think we were even on the slide let alone going down it and one player doesn't get us to the finals..

But yes, he was missed...and put a big hole in the team.

I was shattered in LA when it happened-on zannys,booze and p.ot.
A truly cruel blow by the hand of fate.

Still makes me sick thinking about that injury against the Demons that night.

'Batman and Robin' were a mighty combination.

Post by: Stripes on April 12, 2012, 10:54:50 AM: No one has mentioned him but when Simmonds went down he was finally in good form and giving our midfielders first use. The season he went down with that clot and Patto had to take the number one ruck role was disasterous for our club. We were once again looking like we were finally on the improve and then the dreaded Injury curse struck.

Just goes to show how long it has been since we have had any sort of depth to the side too that losing these players have hurt us so much :help

Post by: pmac21 on April 12, 2012, 11:37:33 AM: Easily Richo in 1995, I firmly believe we could have beaten Carlton with Richo in the side. Would have kicked 100 goals that year.
The other huge loss that year was Stuart Wigney. He was on fire in 95 flogging Carey in round 4. Was never fully fit after breaking his ankle in the same game. Michael Gale also was badly injured in this Swans game (the game from hell). Was our best (only) chance for a premiership in the past 30 years

Agree though that Browny was also a big loss. I remember we played the Eagles at the G the week after and went down by 2 points then fell away very very badly losing confidence.
