I don’t think our injury management was good through the dynasty years either. Difference being we were a great side that could absorb the injuries and most importantly we had everyone fit and firing in September when it mattered.

His whole appointment was suspect. Just another one of those where instead of hiring externally they promoted internally. Again don’t know if he was the best man for the job, although injury history in his reign would suggest otherwise, although it did reek then and still does now as a cost saving hire which I’d argue was the case with Steve Morris becoming VFL coach after Fly left as well as X being promoted to assistant coach in the seniors.

We had a great run in 2017 for injuries. Some oppos have suggested we were kissed on the willy by fate.

2019 less so, but managed to get most players fit and firing after the bye.


Regardless there has been a severe drop in fitness and durability over the last few years. The clear link is Meehan.

Yeah I do remember 2017 being almost essentially injury free, 2018 may have been pretty much the same. But 2019, 2020 and 2021 were certainly on similar levels to what we are experiencing now. I believe they were all years under the previous regime although I could be wrong about 2021.

According to Ch7 just now.

Lefau - suspected fractured jaw.
Mansell - concussion. Out for a week under the protocol.

Maybe not the best time to use your juvenile nicknames on a dude that’s just done his ACL for the 4th time most likely ending his career.
