Yep
There's no doubt about that...there was a lot of speculation for weeks that Curnow has been playing injured.

Still not convinced there isn't a problem in the S&C area

Thinking of this season (!!) and how to win the next two games.
Yes tough gig with all those injuries. Do we still have a rookie spot available?
If we are to be without Charlie and Harry M. ..... "could" really roll the dice and bring in McMahon.
McMahon & Harry L, might be a better option than playing Young and some other up forward.
Very interesting to see how our coaches handle selecting a competitive team for next week's game

I get it, this joining the dots caper offers up plenty of scenarios. But we don't have all the dots. I assume the Terrier reports to the Head of Football, Brad Lloyd. Who knows what Lloyd does with the Terrier's recommendations.
And then we start 2nd guessing when certain players just don't 'look right'... could be anything, as well as carrying an injury. Anything could be going on... just look at the odd MC selections recently - Kennedy and Hewett doing the sub rounds springs to mind, along with Young replacing H, those few performing well in the Magoos not getting a look in... and so it goes. Any wonder we start jumping at shadows!

C.Durdin is an ok player when the team are playing well and can chip in here and there and can be carried but he doesnt get enough ball even for a small forward and is another who cant get on the park and stay there for any length of time.
You look at Ginnivan and he has helped propel the Hawks up the ladder and has increased his output both as a forward and been able to work up the ground and assist the midfielders. This is the modern forward pocket and we need better numbers from ours and unfortunately we need to make changes and get some better equipped small forwards to help Charlie and Harry.

While finals are still mathematically possible, a team like the Hawks deserves that spot way more than we do...simple as that. With 6 players likely to be missing from last weekend, there's not much left to choose from so lets have a look at Moir, Lemmey, Binns, Wilson, Carroll.....even Mirkov. He couldn't be any worse than Pittonet's been in the last month.
Re: AFL Rd 23 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast in Perth - Lods - 08-12-2024
For me... the expectation for a strength and conditioning person is to determine why these injuries are occurring and tailoring programs for the prevention of/ and recovery from them.
There's not a lot you can do about impact injuries.
Recurring soft tissue injuries and poor recovery leading to repeat injuries is another issue.
So it then goes to the specifics of his departure.
If he was pushed, the club was obvioulsy not happy with his work.
If he's walked away frustrated that his recommendations aren't being followed that's a different story...one we may never know.
