in 2024 that's:
- spargo playing in opening round when mlies off fitness issues; not seen since with his achilles injury
- lever playing with a stuffed knee since Anzac day eve
- may playing with broken ribs vs crom and clearly not 'right'
- oliver playing with a busted hand vs bears
- petty hobbling around like a 77 year old with a cactus ankle for the last four weeks
- viney's ongoing shoulder issues that seem to have been around for the entire season
- petracca being sent back on field with busted ribs, lacerated spleen, and partially punctured lung

our medical dept needs a change

This football club really disgusts me. It was clear as day he had an internal injury and I said it at the time, as did many of us. We need new leadership on all lines. 

If you loathe the club that much, then give us all a break, leave, and follow another club. No one will miss you.

I regard Tracca's commitment - despite agonising pain and uncertainty - to get out there again against his better judgment to assist the standing team (performing poorly) to overcome the odds and gather some pride, effort and responsibility with the game. That, folks, is to me, an act of ultimate leadership and attitude. Self-sacrifice in the order of Stynes, May and Gus 'just in case things improved' at the individual level for him by which, he could continue his contribution(s) for their sakes.

I wonder if they will find Harold Holt before they identify the issue with Spargo’s Achilles.

If your list is accurate and I do not doubt your integrity. Even if some of your observations are a little exaggerated (petty being 77) it is a disturbing list. 

our conditioning and medical team plus whoever picks the side each week should be asked some questions.  
it is the same as playing one or two players less each week,  no wonder 2024 is so poor.  Other years it has worked better, but not this year.   As soon as Salem went off, our system could not cope.

Not surprised BBB knee is still a problem.  He was managed and 2021 and then deteriorated again through 22 and 23.

welcome to AFL. Players have to play through injury. most guys by now are carrying a couple of injuries

Viney and May were our two best on the weekend

or maybe we should get Collingwoods medical team with half their list out injured. Meanwhile we have 1-2 key players on our list

what does that mean? they are missing 5 best 22 players. they have more injuries than us

zero excuses for us not to front up

Have they said much about Spargo?

A month ago he was changed from 2-3 weeks to TBC and has remained on TBC since. 

If this season was not almost over from an MFC viewpoint you'd say that was a "reasonable" injury list

Collingwood's medical team must be doing something right given their record over the past 12 weeks. How have we gone in that period?

You mean having half their team out injured? yeah they've been great. They are probably the only part of that club not doing well

We haven't had anywhere near their injury list

[censored] - has Tracc done his Achilles as well! Kid just can’t take a trick.

No more mention of Viney’s foot? Does anyone know if this is his “bad” foot?

Have to say I get the sense from this that Petty and Salem are in doubt.

They do have the umps getting them over the line in multiple games.
