may have missed if this has been posted before as I was in Sydney watching the game, so I got this off the eagles board.

I read it on saturday and was pleased/relieved to finally see that someone had done there job and found out how it was that sydney could have such a good run with injuries while other clubs struggled.

Well this is why.

but according to that bloke on EFH it doesn't matter anyway coz we're still @@@@

according to terry wallace, it also has alot to with our game style, that is the many stoppages result in less running and less muscle injuries

That was a good article. I like the reactions of the weagles fans. It was like they were denis connor's team after seeing the winged keel for the first time.

Conditioning still won't stop broken bones. Which was the point being made.

Shows how little Terry knows. Barry Hall would run more than pretty much any other forward of his size out there. And Goodes doesn't exactly sit around all day either.

Actually Plough (although not a personal favourite of mine) has only ever been complimentary of Sydney and that particular article was well researched and made a lot of sense.

Sydney do the majority of its work either in heavy congestion or clear space. That minimises impact injuries and that was the nature of his article. Who last took a speccy for the Swans or how many a year will the Swans team make.

As for the soft tissue stuff, hammies, calf, quad injuries etc, well that comes more down to science and knowing when players are at greater risk of that and using rest as a weapon. Great news that Goodesy has only been training at half the rate but performing better in the second half of the season.

Maybe you should read what I write. I've always agreed that our conditioning staff has done a great job, which is why our soft tissue injuries are so low. The article confirms that:

"his club's system was so successful that no player had sustained a muscle injury such as a hamstring or calf tear for more than a year."

"We have a very good record of not getting any muscle injuries"

"He refused to say exactly what the benefits had been but believes it will help to reduce soft tissue injuries"

None of that helps significantly with all the other injuries I mentioned last time this was discussed, such as broken bones, shoulders, knees, etc.

Even Ireland recognises the luck:

"For all the hi-tech data analysis and millions of dollars spent, Ireland still believes luck plays a part"
