FFS we cant take a trick this year...
This year? John McIntosh was injured in the second semi of 1971 and, ever since, players crucial to that elusive second flag have gone down at the worst moment - right up to Paddy Ryder in the last minute of the semi win last year. Arguably, you could even go back to Bill Stephenson and Jim Wallis in the early 60s. In fact, the only gap in a 60 year long run of injury bad luck was on that one day in September in 1966 - Darrel Baldock's knee "went" with his first shot for goal, but he was able to play out the game.
Paul Dodds, Barry Pascoe, Jimmy Guyatt, Graeme Gellie....the list is endless.
LAzar Vidovic and Spider Everitt injuries cost us 1997.
Plus Smith.
And IIRC didn’t we lose Goddard early in the 04 prelim and lost Kosi, Fisher and some others late in 05. Peckett went down with a hammy in the qualifying final in Adelaide and was in great form
Aaron “2 weeks” Hamil As well.
From memory we had 6 missing from the 05 Prelim debacle.
Saynta, I don't know who you mean about one a-hole...
