I agree with you, EB1. We have Martin and Williams unfit week after week, senior players who are constantly playing below their best, the usual number of injuries that occur during the year, and too many B grade players who are really C grade on a good day - list cloggers.
The MC has lost flexibility in selecting a team each week. I think while there is even a remote chance of making the finals it will take a conservative approach to team selection.

Not sure where the targeting of individuals with catastrophic injuries gets us when we look like we are running around with bricks for shoes.

Anyone with two functioning arms and matching legs would have been fine.

100%. I can understand him trying to get back but we carry a truckload of dead weight in our list and it's broken the club. We're really playing with a list of about 25 with about 15 passengers

Marchbank should be delisted at season's end. If he miraculously gets up and plays at another club, so be it.....but 50 odd games of footy in 8 seasons says enough.

Draper and Wright vs De Koning and Silvagni / Young. Already behind the eight ball.

Saw Brad of the piranha twins interviewed on tv and he was talking about how they expected us to come out really firing. I think he will have them ready to serve it up to us with the hope of upsetting us. Be interesting to see how things pan out.
