I just love seeing Fritta laying big tackles and showing some aggression

Good job Smith

To keep it simples Deadly bacteria are everywhere i.e., staphylococcus or the notorious staph infection They infect our skin through little cuts and nicks Some players are poor at hygiene or wound care (or decide to go on jobs on the MCG while battling infection) If you train at the intensity these players do, it absolutely compromises your immune function Source: I do martial arts and need to protect myself from skin infection every day.

I don't know what symptoms he may've experienced, but i agree that the club has likely downplayed the severity. If he was in hospital, on a drip, for nearly a week, it was very very serious. Athlete's involved in intense training are at major risk of contracting serious infections. Their bodies are exhausted and can struggle to fight infection, infection itself is common as they are in environments with lots of sweat and body contact. These infections can do serious damage to internal organs and can lead to necrotic areas at the infection site. Kevin Randleman, an old mma fighter literally had holes in his skin from a staph infection, and recently Australian mma fighter Tim Schulz nearly had his leg amputated due to a skin infection. Viewer discretion advised, but interesting nonetheless: https://www.si.com/fannation/mma/news/video-horrific-staph-infection-leaves-mma-fighter-at-risk-of-amputation On top of all that, the antibioitics required to fight infection can be devastating for an athletes cardio and energy systems.

Lions kicking was absent abhorrent all night. Dump kicks out of d50, unforced errors, with or without real pressure from the swans. We should slaughter them in the turn over game, I hope we get our revenge at the g and shred them to pieces.

There is just so much to love from this game. Salem's positioning, defensive work and kicking was awesome but how about the real deal leg speed he is showing too, at one point he out hustled the very fast and talented Bobby Hill to break away from a stoppage at d50, loved it. I also wonder if we can find a balance which included Fritta, Smith and Petty forward. Smith's chase down tackles and pressure was awesome and Petty will make us even stronger in the air. But you can't have it all, more than likely we go with the extra mid to replace the small which may force Smith out of the side.

6. Viney 5. Hunter 4. Salem 3. Hibbo 2. Tomlinson 1. Smith

Gus in the middle looked much better than half back as well

Amazing coaching performance and team effort. Our structure was set up really well and clogged them up in the right places.

Massive victory, a huge sign for 2023. Heart, toughness and 4 strong quarters.

4th Quarter KINGS LETS GOOO

Joel Smith belongs in this side

Demon take over 3.3 to 0.1!!!!!

Reward for effort from Smith, playing well

Sun reported he is set to sign up but nothing official yet

I think this representing a lot of our dump kicks out of d50 stoppage though. We also need our defenders to be taking safe options exiting d50 and to switch to safe targets across the ground.

All that would be is Champion data picked AA teams, how lifeless.

and half back, Jordan Dawson is a 247 inside mid imo. Not a HB flanker.

Go north!

Fritta using his desired left foot is much better than lugging a 30m handball to chandler in the square

McCreery is off injured too, not sure on the details but he's an important small forward for them.

Lots of focus on our opposition not being amazing but our gold coast win at metricon looks really good to me, as they knocked off the doggies who are in great form.

How in the world did the saints lose to the Hawks.
