Injuries in same parts of the ground

Post: # 1893357Post Vazelos »

Its been touted we have depth on our list but what we are experiencing is injuries in 2 same areas of the ground and as we know lists are finite in their resources and we are vulnerable in the Ruck/Forward position & in the medium sized shut down defender position.
Before 2020 small flair forwards used to hurt us quite regularly and then Ben Paton came along and put a stop to that. He will be sorely missed as we saw last week we were hurt by their small forwards it reminded me of the 2017-19 era when players like Charlie Cameron were killing us . Geary is the only similar type player that can perform that role and he is out also. Geary will come back and to be honest at the start of the year I was wondering where were we going play him but now he has a spot with Paton out long term.

I am hopeful we can get through this week and Marshall can play against the Weagles because Ryder looks like he has some serious personal issues-going back to see the elders etc is only half the story & I am worried he will be a mess this year like Jack Steven experienced. Going against Nic Nat with Hunter & Mckernan will be a blood bath.
Ill be keeping an eye as close to Marshall's half of footy at the Zebras as much as the game v the Bombers that has to be the most valuable player on our list at the moment with Ryder taking further leave.

Maybe . Maybe not. That filth Ruckman Grundy had 98% of the hit outs the other night and the filth still lost.

And the filth supporters are filthy about the result.

I too am concerned about the nature of Ryder's personal issues.
We do know that part of Jack Steven's problem was his infidelity, his partners response to his infidelity and his reduced access to his child that followed.
We do not know what is behind Ryder's problem, he claimed to wanted to leave Essendon because he did not know what they had injected him with and that caused him great anxiety.
If Ryder is going to return he has to want to play football in the AFL, otherwise the Saints lose him.
