The Injury List
According to the official AFL website, St. Kilda is the only club that boasts a completely empty list of injured players.
Is there anything that we can attribute this too? Did we prepare better at the beginning of the year/was there any fitness staff changes? Or is it pure luck?

Re: The Injury List
I posted somewhere else how Dempster had a big hand in our offseason training regime. Obviously there's a lot of luck keeping everyone on the park but I don't think it's done any harm having a footballer involved in the conditioning program.

Not sure you would call it a "big hand". As part of his studies he has worked at the club. This will help set him out for his intended post-playing career. I am sure it added value, but would imagine it was only a small added benefit rather than a large one given our extensive team of doctors, physios and sports scientists etc

Re: The Injury List
Yes, SR there are certainly a lot of people in the football department, but I'm not sure how many of those involved in conditioning (4?) have played at this level of the AFL week-in, week-out. My point is that it's probably a good thing to have a player involved in that space - which does indeed bode well for Dempster's post-footy career.

Re: The Injury List
Agree, only have to look at Gold Coast injury list, couple of soft tissue injuries, but majority are impact injuries, just bad luck, not underpreparedBigMart wrote:Injuries and footy are just a matter of when or not

Re: The Injury List
If only we'd won the Hawks and North games we'd be in a position to push for finals this year. I mean how often do you have virtually a full list available?

Re: The Injury List
Interesting to note though that commentators are talking up Richmond's chances of making the 8 - and they're still below us on the ladder. They did beat Sydney of course...

If we won those two games we would have over achieved as a result of few-now no injuries.
Those two losses have us where we belong on the ladder.

Re: The Injury List
We might quibble over order but I think we would all agree our best six players this year have been:
Steven
Armo
Roo
Ross
Dempster
Joey
When was the last time one of these six missed a game? We have had an incredible run with injuries.
