    Surely AVB won’t be right. I thought he was meant to be out for 12 weeks.

    It has already been around a month since round 1 and doubtful that we will be back playing before July.

    A point that Goodwin made in that article is a good one, Burgess has experience with tight turnarounds and condensed fixtures. The premier league is such a crammed fixture during December and having that knowledge of how to approach it could be key.

    No mention the Preusster. 
     

    He must also be good to go by now.

    Having a deep list could be a significant advantage in a compressed fixture as I think most sensible clubs would be looking to rest players week to week, to avoid burning out their best 22.  If Burgess and the selection committee can get that balance right as the season progresses, I actually think we are in pretty good shape.

    Conversely, I really do hope the league think things through and put a sensible end date on season 2020.  As MFC supporters, we have witnessed first hand what carrying too many injuries into a preseason does in 2019.  To be honest, I'm pretty much hoping that we treat 2020 as a development year to get key players and our system right for season 2021, which hopefully is something like a more normal season.

    The lay-off will be benefiting all injured players from all clubs you’d expect.

    having said that, clubs like Richmond with fewer (almost no injuries) don't have the same benefit that teams with lots of injured players returning from injury have.

    And, conversely, didn't I read somewhere that one club's players (was it West Coast?) have got their isolation training regime wrong  and a number of players have sustained soft tissue injuries?

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
