please advise me as to what matter is more important than this. There simply isn't one. The difference between a side that has a couple of blokes out and a side that has 11/12 out is about 8 spots on the ladder

Let it go pal

I think its a waste of time and resources given the limited degree of control you can exert over injuries given the high contact, high impact nature of the sport (i grant that preparation and recovery will have an impact on specific types of injury prevention)

You obviously dont and thats fine too, will our differing viewpoints change the outcome? highly unlikely i would have thought.

btw i am still waiting for someone to point out which of our current injuries do you believe could be attributed to poor sports science resources/personnel at the club???

    You actually have an inability to read, or listen, or both.

    WE ARE NOT SAYING WE KNOW. We are saying the opposite. We are saying we don't know, and that our disproportionate number of injuries in the past few years is worth exploring.

    By suggesting that our limited sports science/innovation budget is not a factor, you are invalidating clubs who spend a lot more on their sports science (read: the successful clubs). By doing that, you are invalidating sports science. Are you credentialed to do that?

    WTF, yeh, i have an inability to read crap. Do we have a disproportionate number of injuries compared with other clubs? Injury data for each club is available in the public domain, why dont you spend your time working out if a problem exists first before defending your stance to the hilt not to mention wasting valuable time and money in an attempt to provide answers to questions that dont even exist.

    PLEASE I REQUEST THAT YOU PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT OVER THE TENURE OF THE CURRENT FOOTBALL ADMIN WE HAVE SUFFERED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF INJURIES COMPARED WITH OTHER CLUBS.

    FFS DID YOU GO TO THE TONY ABBOTT SCHOOL OF DEBATING???

    It seems however that you graduated cum laude from the Mark Latham School of shouting

    Caps, bolding and underling all at once - Puh-leeeze!

    A modicum of restraint if you please 36DD

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
