This regular soft tissue injuries started even before Meehan. There's something deeper going on as this has been happening since 2021. Initially, it was blamed on having an ageing premiership list, but when first years are going down repeatedly, deeper questions need to be asked.

Will say it again all Clubs are having or have had issues. This is an industry issue and caused IMESHO has everything to do with the shorter preseason

You refuse to think there could be an issue with our program, that’s okay that’s your opinion. But when draftees are coming in, doing multiple hammys, Lalor, Smillie, Armstrong, given longer than needed to recover and continue to get injured there has to be something wrong with our approach. You simply can’t blame that on a shorter pre season. I’m not saying sack Serpell. I am saying that our approach needs to be reviewed though. This is our future at stake which we have invested everything in thus far.

Mansell you burned two free open shorter options forward and then you kick it long to where the geelong player was in front to mark virtually uncontested.

Just stick to the basics Tiges  :scream.

I want the club to come and out and answer questions about our injury rehab. Accepted there was a problem when we made changes hiring Serpell. Is there still a problem ? At this stage the answer  appears to be yes

I look forward to the whacks I'm about to get

But having watched the replay multiple times.

He clearly didn't re-injure the hamstring running it happened in the act of tackling, the twist when he took his opponent over the line

When he first got up he didn't appear to realise, stock standard hammy and he feels it immediately. Pain kicks in as tries to move ...

If it was stock standard hammy I'd go whack but this doesn't look like that. Doesn't look like it is a conditioning issue

People will whack and some will ridicule me but I reckon this one is just unfortunate bad luck. Reckon it's the tendon from the motion of tackling.

Will know tomorrow or Monday

I can see what you’re referring to, but it’s the same hammy. From such an innocuous event you’d think normally the hammy would be fine. To me it seems as though his hammy is weaker than it should be and hasn’t been strengthened from the multiple tears it’s now had. It’s no coincidence it’s the same hammy

Balta showing again he is not a forward. Should have brought Bauer in and had Balta down back instead of Blight.

Need Balta back and I'd bring either Blight or Broad forward

We are not even 12 months into a new regime/program so again from where I sit I think the sins of the past are still having a bearing. You completely change a program itis going to take time for bodoes to adjust. People will scoff of that but from conversations I've had that's my take.

Benefits or problems will show up as we go into the next preseason

Smilie, there is more to that than just a stock standard hammy. There's a reason why it's taken so long. But I'm not prepared to say anything becuase as posted above I am not in the mood to be belittled, ridiculed or even bullied.

Armstrong, tendon off the bone in a tackling drill is not a conditioning issue. Just really unfortunate.

Lalor, someone else mentioned he had hammy issues last year. Same one as this year. Even you've acknowledged after watching the replay this one looks different....

Nank another to ask who was that kick for? :huh3

FFS

What do we have to do to get a HTB call?

He try and break on tackle, take one step it's HTB

Geelong takes on 2 runs 10 metres and it's play on  :banghead :scream

Sorry it should have HTB

Yes overall our tackling is poor

But geez it would be nice to get rewarded to occasionally

Guarantee if it was the other way we'd get pinged

Why ?
He went 1.5 quarters without touching the thing

He ran around like a mad man for 15 mins in the first quarter and looked excellent.

Since then he’s proven exactly why he will never be a full time AFL midfielder.

Stevens broke the tackle(s) IMHO. Should never have got through us.
