He was right

Injuries absolutely obliterated them at the right time

And might I add, couldn’t have happened to a better mob

Agreed. They were ruined.

Would have been a different game if they had a fitter list, particularly Curnow.

If you have to have your best22 on the park or otherwise can only scrape into finals and get convincingly ko’ed week 1, then your no where near as good as your being made out to be. Really good sides are built off a system where if a player goes down you can bring in a less talented player to do a job. God knows we managed to do so in 2019 & 2020.

They were obliterated
No team could cover what they copped and be expected to play near maximum
Nobody said they best 22 on the park , but having half of them fully fit helps

Okay curnow missed the last 6 weeks, jack also missed 12 games in 2019. Injuries to duds like zac williams dont even come close to an excuse.

They lost TDK, we also lost Nank for the same period if i recall. We lost big time players, but we had role players that did their job. That rabble rely on cripps and sam walsh is a tom mitchel type and nothing more.

They dont have quality back up that are capable of replacing injured players.

They also are a very much loved specie from the umpires and they still screwed it up.

I don’t doubt they would have made a better challenge if they didn’t have those injuries however they obviously have some structural/tactical issues to fall away so badly.

We too were decimated by injuries at times, on top of those FJ mentioned, Lynchy, Cotch, Prestia, Houli, Shedda, etc. all missed large chunks of games in 2019-2020. That’s not even mentioning losing rance in Rd 1, 2019, never to be seen again.

I’m not going to sit here and defend a team I despise tenfold over all other sides combined

But FJ, at one stage this year they were struggling to field a side .. to list a couple of blokes is that far from accurate I can’t express

Missing their FF, CHF, CHB, FB, RUCK and key mids at the same time is more accurate and obviously impossible to cover

Like I said earlier , couldn’t have happened to a more deserving pack of pricks

Mostly we had healthy lists come September.

A handful of blues players were severely under done.

We were similar. Our players would make it back just in time for finals with a couple of tune up games at most before September rolled in. Honestly the more I think about our premierships the more impressive they get.
