We are supposed to have a huge injury list but its an excuse.
Tarrant - well there is literally Young, Miller, Nyuon and supposedly Bauer lol.What is happening here. Young comes in is out of his depth but they persevere. Nyuon is now supposedly being developed in the ruck after how many seasons. Miller who is best suited to defence imo is played every where but, and expected to beat the likes of Gawn Grundy and Witts in the ruck.
Lynch - well there is no replacement but there are options. We have two young tall fwds Bradtke who is injured unfortunately and Bauer who is not a genuine KPF size imo who we now see fit to play in defense in the reserves. Im incredulous that no one else has nothing to say about this sad state of affairs. Why are we playing the only available tall fwd we have in defense when we so desperately need to find another tall fwd.
Gibcus - Imo third tall atm and only in second season. imo when fit should play instead of Grimes who has been shizen most of the year.
Way its gone we will be forced to play him instead of Young as a kpd.We should be playing Miller there though imo.
Nankervis - well the logical replacement for him is Soldo. Other options mainly as second rucks are one of Ryan and Miller. There is also Colina who has been on the list forever and im asking has he even played a VFL game. It has been pretty clear That when Nankervis is fit its not ideal to play both him and Soldo for some pretty obvious reasons.
This week Prestia was out but rested he has been struggling anyway. He has played most weeks though.Graham was another missing but people hate it being said is nothing more than a foot soldier.
Once injuries happen the reality is the talent pool is not there.What happens is the likes of Baker, McIntosh,Graham, Short, Ross, Vlastuin Balta Broad the ones who should now be the leaders and leading from the front cannot fill the void.
