Injuries

[Benevolent Ert]

There's no doubt a good run with injuries is crucial to a sides success

It's no coincidence that the bottom two sides last year were also the sides with the longest injury lists

Undoubtedly the following is a good sign for the Swans

SYDNEY
Stephen Doyle (knee) - indefinite
Ben Fixter (foot) - test
Matthew Nicks (back) - test
Ryan O'Keefe (ankle) - test

Doyle the only long term concern
The more we can keep our best team on the park the more competitive we will be this year

One of my criticisms of Eade was that he always seemed to play unfit players - they'd end up going backwards with fitness - by this time of year often the team would be looking a bit spent.

Younger players and not driving them into the ground seems to be keeping the fitness up.

Not playing half fit players seems to be shortening our injury list.

Should keep Meiklejohn in to ease the pressure on Goodes & Ball - long season don't want to run them into the ground

not only to keep the pressure off ball and goodes but too blood our next big man

so is james off the list now. or is that just a mistake???

[scurrilous]

Herald Sun (Melb) listed James' injury as indefinite. Make of it as you will.

James is a rookie and I don't think The Age (Realfooty) bothers to list them.

BTW I checked acouple of other clubs official sites and they had their injury lists up on Monday. Nothing from Sydney. A bit pathetic, really.

James is a rookie and listed by mistake in this weeks Inside Football (or do they now name injured rookies), by what I have heard he will not play this week the staff want to take it a bit easier with him and make sure it is all OK (so maybe the following week). He resumes full training next week.
