Hindsight bias in action. Also confirmation bias, because you're ignoring the games that were won at selection - which is the majority of them.

Goody Presser (22/5) - Left early as unwell
This is so [censored] Demonland. - misquote. Tick - take misquoted quote out of context. Tick - take misquoted quote out of context and apply to a different context. Tick What he actually said was: "Fourth now is nothing to us." And the line before that was: "We loved every minute of [last year]. It was great but we start again absolutely from scratch," IOW, getting to fourth (i.e., in the last 4 in the finals) in 2018 counts for naught in 2019, that nothing is a given.

Injury List - Season 2019
Except that he's training (check out the training update video), and will play next week. So there is that.

Weideman would be the other choice. Was very good in his one VFL match before getting injured. Just saying.

Actually, for the last 3 seasons, Kent has been playing fairly regularly, though a lot of that time was spent bouncing between AFL and VFL. He managed 20 AFL games in 2016, the only recent year where he didn't have his season ended prematurely through a serious shoulder injury - not to mention "a club suspension for breaching club rules on alcohol protocols". He also managed 13 and 15 AFL matches in 2013 and 2014, alongside matches in the VFL. But heh, Misson.

If someone breaks or dislocates a shoulder that's Misson's fault? FFS

I'd take ANB over Maynard every day. Maynard will be delisted at year end, too one-trick and slow. Brayshaw rotates through mids and does plenty of clearances, but will eventually return to full-time mid duties. Put it this way, it's either Brayshaw or Jones on a wing at the moment, and Brayshaw is less of a problem there than Jones. Finally, Fritsch should be further up the ground, sure but a) we have no-one else to cover for most of the backline being out injured and b) his defensive side needs work, so what better way of developing it. Presumably when Hibberd, Lever, May come back, Fritsch will find himself in a more "natural" position.

Concerned about Jack
You don't manage game time because of injury, you manage game time because of fitness. Given he hasn't done a full pre-season for 2 years now, understandable.

Changes vs GW$ Giants
Depends on who's fit. They've got 9 days, so presumably enough to deal with concussions (ANB, Salem, Smith), so hopefully no forced outs, at least. Can't see many changes, as much as anything because there's no-one really to change with. Lewis in if fit presumably, would at least allow Fritsch to move further up the field.

Maybe if you checked the Eagles' current ruck stocks it wouldn't.

Injury List - Season 2019
For god's sake. Some of you should spend a week on a cancer ward. The best we can say about medical science and the identification and management of injuries and pathologies is that it's stretching it to even call it a science - informed guesswork would be closer to the mark, though even the "informed" bit gets lost in many cases. I have a heart condition. The doctor who told me 10 years ago that I needed an operation wasn't wrong or incompetent. He was basing his opinion on the information he had in front of him, in comparison to similar cases and outcomes. I still haven't had the op.

Injury List - Season 2019
All speculation. You have no inside information on even what the specific injuries are, let alone how they presented at the time. Nor do you have any medical expertise yourself. You're also guilty of confirmation bias (though we all are, it's the way our brain works), in that you're citing examples that support your (supposed) case, while ignoring all those that don't. i.e., you're ignoring all the times that players come off with injuries, are then patched up and sent back out - and are fine. Which is the majority of cases.
