Maybe it's just the beer talking??Most of our problems this year probably stem from injuries more than anything else.

WC had worse injuries than us and did better.
Adelaide had worse injuries last year.
Who are all our injuries? Kennelly, Hall, and LRT?
Injuries are a fact of football. It's hardly the case we've been decimated by injuries. So we are now crying poor for the bad luck with injuries - I don't recall us praising the heavens for our fantastic luck with injuries in the previous 4 years.
Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Some funny pics in that article though
The fact is, when players get older they are more susceptible to injury.
There is no logical reason why Hall, Barry, Crouch, Mathews etc will have a free run with injuries next year when they are all a year older and the hamstrings just a little tighter.
Throwing most of our eggs in that basket can only backfire.
Injuries to key players are always a problem but sometimes you can cover if you've blooded enough youngsters along the way. That is where we are seriously behind other teams.

With a borderline list like the Swans (ie a list in which few of the reserves have had significant AFL game time), injuries have a bigger effect.
Silly. A good run with injuries is due to good player management, a bad run is due to luck. In fact Crouch and LRT basically spent the year recovering from the previous season.
Injuries to blame? Not so says Fosdike!
Source"Our injuries were probably not that bad, our form was more the issue," he said.
"That was the most disappointing thing rather than the injuries that our form has not been good enough and we just didn't show up to play sometimes."
Amazing the difference 3 days can make

I have a feeling we had quite a few players playing through injuries. It has been the same in the past however the aging of some players had a greater effect this year.
