Round 8 Preview - Carlton v Geelong

[Thryleon]

Our bad run with injuries hasn't exactly helped our cause this year...

Even so, the system should stack up with or without injuries.
We have always been too reliant on too few, and if they dont fire we havent fared well.
Yes injuries don't help, and everyone gets them, but that should be the difference between winning and losing, not being competitve and getting belted.

This is why I now believe our (as in the collective) arguments about 2012 have been wrong.  Some say you can't use injury as an excuse, but this is what they mean.  Others want to use injury as an excuse.  Sure.

Either way, we lose a few top players and it falls away too fast.  We need that to change pronto, because our better performers are not far off retirement, or about to be traded away to bring in draft picks.
