ST KILDA the excuses

[mal]

SD and others.

Im not stirring the pot..... and purely a coincidence :
AC were playing thier 2nd game in a row at TD after
playing there the week before against the Kangaroos.
AND lost.

[sydney-dog]

Mal,

The crows ran the game out fine, they lost the game because they only had 10 hard ball gets, you can't win any game no matter on what surface unless your prepared to win the hard nut..........

Now Mal, you know I hate blowing your arguments out of the water but the Tigers played at the TD the week before as well

[mal]

SD

Lovely comeback[RI twice in 2 weeks]

My turn.

The crows only got 10 hard ball gets ..........
What would you expect when RI spent so much
time kicking the ball sideways , backwards ...............

[Rik E Boy]

...and the beat goes on...

[sydney-dog]

Mal

The crows had plenty of opportunity in the game to win some conntested ball, especially in the first 1/4 we allowed Richmond to jump us, then they moved to this particular game plan, around the stoppages we got smashed.....

I am critical of Terry's game plan but I am more critical at the way we the crows played

There ould have been more hard ball get opportunities if they had manned up.

As long as they don't beat about the bush.....

Hayes out for the season.
How's that for another excuse?

[sydney-dog]

Hayes did he knee prior to half time, even though his knee was so swollen and blew up like a grape fruit, the Saints medical team in their wisdom sent him back out to play

putting my physio hart on, it is extremely difficult to examine a knee while it is swollen, but in saying that, the knee is swollen which is an obvious sign that it has been damage, the degree of damage is unknown, until you are able to eliminate all risks you do not play the player

just another example by the saints of poor player management in the medical room

[mighty_tiger_79]

yeah the saints are terrible in the medical room, they should blame the administrators for making there players play on the worst surface in the AFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maddogmike]

Sydney-dog: You cant try and say Hayes wouldnt have wanted to continue. He would have said I feel ok, Im sure I can get through it, possibly with a jab. No doubt the sort of clueless twit Grant Thomas is, he would have said if Lenny thinks he's ok, then thats good enough for me. You cant blame the medical staff entirely.

[mighty_tiger_79]

MADDOG

you cant go questioning SYDNEY-DOG, he knows best!!!!!!!!

[sydney-dog]

mighty_tiger_79

anyone can question anyone, but my response is, when it comes to injury management and prevention the final decision should be the medical staff, isn't this this the purpose of employing a medical team.....

clubs need to ensure the right process is in place to ensure these decisions are taken out of the hands of coaches and players

The players welfare will always be more important then the result of the game........

When Ian Perrie did his knee, I could never imagine Dr Brian Sando risking Perrie while their was so much swelling and inflamation, most importantly Dr Brian Sando would not be over ruled by player or club

[mal]

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Can we all agree at least that telstra DOOM is a problem.

DANNY JACOBS out for the season another long term injury
at the DOOM.
Jacobs tore the hamstring off the bone.

Just finished watching grumpy old men on TV tonight where they
reminised with Geelong superstar Barry Stoneham.
Stoneham said " I remember pulling a calf muscle in the warm up
at Telstra Dome ......"

And SD You won a points decision with the HAYES fiasco where it
showed an inadequacy within the AINTS.

Dont be surprised if the AINTS miss the 8 now.

We now have a comp where the draft evens up things to a large degree.
I propose a new AFL draft the top clubs play at the DOOM the following year.

[Rik E Boy]

LMAO malty! While I reckon there may be a point about the Domea55 being an injury trap, you can hardly point to Barry Stoneham to back you up. Big Bazza could pull a hamstring or do a an ankle getting out of bed in the morning LOL.

Get over yourself mal. That 'Doubting Thomas' line is as obvious as Molly's homosexuality.

* Bump *

Time we had another Saint's bashing session.....

Mal your thoughts? No mention of Telstra Doom as an excuse I notice......

MULKEARNS is the new strength + conditioning program trainer.
Claims he can diminish injuries at the club.
Good luck.

STARCEVICH was the trainer at BL who won premierships.
You would think he would have a fair idea on the issue

Strange how the new man wants to talk about injuries at TD
One would think there is an a problem with the oval....

New trainer, new coach, same problems
