However, I agree with your conclusion - we're toeing a very fine line to losing a critical mass of senior players.
Completely agree with this point. I fear we are one or two players (especially should we lose good quality midfielders) from really struggling and a promising season being completely ruined by injury.

I still hold hope tho, this club just doesn't roll over and die anymore....
That's what I love about our club, we don't ever know when we are beaten anymore. I know its unlikely, but even if not one of our missing stars came back, I'd still give us a genuine chance of winning the flag if we finish top 4. But we are sooo close to having lost a critical mass that we probably can't recover from.
