I think that's exactly what you'll find. I know BB expects players to play through the pain (subject to team doctor approval) - it was the Clarkson/Hawthorn mantra as well which was fine with seasoned bodies or with players like Hodge who have fewer neurons. Weitering is still 19. 19!!! Yet he's been poleaxed by monsters week in week out. Hardly been the same since he nearly broke his neck saving that goal last year.
Also of concern to me are the observations that, once again, it was "boys v. men" on Saturday night. Weren't we saying this 5 years ago? ... 10 years ago? Sheesh, we just can't get the recruiting mix right. Words fail me.
