Sure has. Is it back luck or poor management? The amount of soft tissue injuries would suggest the latter.Preseason officially just entered disaster territory.

Injury Report - Season 2023
- Thread starter AstuteTiger
- Start date
There’s a rumour going around on social media that gastro had swept through the club. May explain some lethargic performances and some missing personnel like Biggie and Brown
So unavailable or at risk of missing round 1:
- Prestia
- Tarrant
- Short
- Graham
- Gibcus
- Ross
That's 6 of our best 23.
Plus Lynch very under done. I wonder if they will play him in the VFL practice match this week?

Good news regarding Prestia, was expecting worse given his track record with injury luck. Concerning about Short, another soft tissue injury, I think it’s fair to suggest we may have a problem Houston. Players who don’t have a history of soft tissue injuries are getting them
Good that Taranto and Hopper can cover for the loss of Prestia & Graham. I think Miller is going to have to play down back. Anyone know what position he played in the VFL on Sunday?
Put a line through Shorty for round one, calf strains are hell for us mere mortals let alone AFL footballers.
Prestige just bad luck, hehe autocorrect got it wrong but it kinda suits Dion.

I heard Mitchell on SEN say that their boys now have 4 days off, is that the same for all clubs under the Player Bargaining agreement given the weeks break before round 1.
There was no training for our boys today but I did see Brown doing some running on his own.
My round 1 team, assuming Prestia and Short miss:
B: Grimes Miller Vlastuin
HB: D Rioli Balta Broad
C: Clarke Cotchin McIntosh
HF: Martin Lynch Bolton
F: M Rioli Riewoldt Baker
R: Nankervis Taranto Hopper
I/C: Cumberland Dow Ralphsmith Sonsie
Sub: Mansell
It's looking a bit weak.

Crikey, we are even getting injuries to players who aren’t even on the list - what a pre season catastrophy is unfolding at punt road.
According to the Age just now ………….
“Prestia, fellow midfielder-forward Jayden Hunt (calf) and veteran forward Jack Riewoldt (finger) had scans on Monday”.
“Hunt said his scans were only precautionary, and he expected to be fit to face the Blues, while Riewoldt said he and his fellow statesmen would be ready for the season-opener.”

I'm in the luck camp until it becomes more of a sustained trend.
You are meant to give them two four day breaks between resuming in January and the pre-season games. They must have negotiated with the players to change it.
At what point does it become a trend?
I would have thought we have already established a trend?
Everyone's panicked crap makes me sick get a grip ffs ,44 players 6 to 8 with concerns pretty normal when u are training hard and playing.
When I hear this crap, I don't read the forum for days.
