  2. Well I for one wont use the pretender word as yet,  I think of the the Dees as CONTENDERS, at this time, if we slip to 5/6th then I may consider the pretender bit, i think that Kossie may need a rest & seeing the way the ball came in last game a tall should have been there, I am all for bringing in BBB just to be there for the bomb and to get the ball at least to the feet of our small forwards . 

    Do it for this aging old bloke "GO DEES"

    While agreeing there seems to be potentially more at play than just injuries, it surely has to be the major factor in what has happened this season. There are a couple of reasons:

    - The pre-season surgeries naturally put teams behind, but we also had our shortest pre-season ever. With the majority of the core of the team sitting with between 50-120 games  (Gawn, Viney, Trac, Harmes, Brayshaw, Salem, Oliver, Lever, Weid and with the majority of the fringe players also in the same boat) means they don't have the 'miles in the legs' as some of the teams that have competed regularly in finals. We've seen in the past Geelong, Hawks, Richmond, the Eagles and the dogs have a down year/s when they've gone deep into finals with younger squads, those mentioned (with the exception of the dogs (yet)) have all come back again and been successful.

    - Add on the in-season injuries, it was in another thread - and don't quote me on exact figures - but up until the Richmond game we'd lost something like 120 games to our best 22 players, the tigers had lost 90 and the Pies 60. Those teams were used as examples as they were discussed at the time as teams with large injury lists. On top of that the injuries seemed to be very concentrated at one end each week, early in the season we'd be missing 4 or 5 of our best defenders then as the season progressed it transferred to the forward half. Very hard to build anything in season when we've got such deficiencies. 

    I'm not saying there aren't other factors but a limited pre-season and in-season injuries are certainly big factors. I'm very happy there'll be limited off-season hold ups and we've got Burgess to hopefully get them super fit. Only then will we be able to reliable assess if some of the issues are (as discussed on the many forums here) - the coach, game plan, the captains, selection, Pert, selling games to the NT etc.

    My sms was received on Monday... still nothing in the post; but it is a long bike ride up the Hume to Sydney.

    Feel for you Hardtack but remember that rider has to turn at Wang up to Myrtleford then on to YACK then on to  Wodonga and back on to the hwy geez that adds a bit.
