Absolutely,how refreshing would be that be?
That is no doubt our biggest area for improvement,no hamstrings that go for 10 weeks,groins for a season,niggles for 3-4,etc etc.
I know every club is going to have some sort of injuries,but surely some luck has got to fall our way,we have had our fair share over recent seasons.

Exactly

This area is actually somewhere I hope Andrew Ireland has an impact along with the day to day running of the team.

I notice that the AFL is trying to force teams to stay in a certain set of hotels in Melbourne and, surprise surprise Brisbane are reported as the only team who are resisting in order to maintain practise that has clearly worked well for them.

All these things add up to comfort while travelling as well as aid in recovery following matches.

O'Keefe and Fosdike have the ability to become stars, hope this is the year

Our medical staff are the ones that need to be the big improvers.

Our players seem to take longer to recover from seemingly short term injuries than other teams.

As fo rthe players listed

O'keefe

Just get the feeling this guy could be something special.To come back so strong after the dramas he endured last year shows something about the guys mental toughness and will to succeed.

A 7 year curse of injuries since 97, what's the deal with these injuries?

[Nico]

Wouldn't it be nice if they all improved 10%, then we would be a "Gun" side.

All those listed are quite capable of 10% improvement.

Add substantial improvement by some established players who were a bit flat last year and a reasonable injury free run and who knows what might happen.

Don' worry about pre-season form. The fireworks start from round 1.

For those who like roughies, I've had 5 bucks on Fixter for the Brownlow at 1000/1.

from yesterdays form at half time at least, it looks like this could be worse, the half time stuff was stupid! except for plugger's call that he had had a few pies for his fitness training

I think that money would have been better well spent on a souvlaki, it will return more

[Rizzo]

The smart money would have to be on Goodes at the mo.

[robbieando]

Hall for the Coleman is a good bet I think

[Cheer Cheer]

mmm yes, goodes look to be the standout at this early stage
