It?s official - Sydney have more injuries than Fremantle, Collingwood, Richmond, Geelong, the Kangaroos, Bulldogs and West Coast??PUT TOGETHER!
I have looked at the injury lists and picked out only players who might be considered in the top 25 (team plus emergencies). It makes for interesting reading. The figures in brackets break down the total between injuries with weeks and ones with ?test.?
Sydney have 11 senior players on the injured list.
For the other teams the average number is. 3.1. This ranges from Fremantle with none (!) to Brisbane with 8.
Even with a week off Sydney will still be missing at least 7 players. If we had played last week we would have been missing 11 from our top 25!!!!!
The only teams even within coo-ee are Essendon missing 5 and Brisbane missing 4 (plus a couple of niggles which may not come up)
You just have to laugh when Collingwood supporters talk about being hard hit by injury. They have one player on the injured list?and he might be fit for this weekend!
