Maybe because we were exhausted by playing with two men down. Mihocek was restricted by an ankle injury as well.
I'm at a loss to know why we get so many injuries, whereas Richmond seem to have none. Maybe because we try so hard and extend our physical capabilities to the very edge. |

Things didn’t go our way on the injury front again, had to be defenders!! But we showed heart and spirit... as some have said when we have a full team, will tell a different story.
But we have to be cleaner with our ball use, too many dropped marks and handballs to feet or too high... but it’s a break out season for this team. If we get lynch or a kpp back in the draft, will take us to the next level |

I’m convinced you’re a troll. We still had 18? Half of them are kids with bodies that can’t play a full game out when rotations are limited. They were freakin’ SPENT. |
Agree Hammer! I am sure Haff is just out to get responses. Pretty hard to expect to stop the Tigers in the last quarter without 2 important backmen.

The tigers are clearly half a class above us, but we're within touch. 43 points last time, 28 this time. Even without our defenders getting injured I don't think we'd have won, but it'd have been close. No in-game injuries next time, with JDG back in, and who knows what might happen.
Our inexperienced players all got exposed that game, and hopefully they learn from their mistakes quickly. Hard to see us go past week 2 of the finals with some many players below 50 games. In the end we just lacked that final bit of class and polish - Stevo at 3/4 time, Pendles' missed snap, Cox missing twice, numerous rushed kicks out of defence. Tigers did what they needed to do to put us away. |

| On the plus side, Grundy was an absolute monster today and loved the way that Josh Thomas popped up for four. Pendles and Sidey played their hearts out too, as did all the team. WHE has really come of age. |

Not at all, just very negative.

Looks like they found the magic elixir of life that goes undetected in the bloodstream and doesn't cause soft tissue injuries like what happened to Essendon. |

We have no more backmen. It's a joke. i'm shattered. Shaz done and Howe will surely have some sort of fracture requiring surgery

If both Howe and Schaz are done for the season, I agree. Wait for next year.

agree |
Overall, thought Richmond got the better deal from the umpires today. |
I can only hope somebody decks Rance. Please, pretty please!! How's that free they paid against Cox late in the game when Rance was all over him. Bizarre!!! |

Yeah, Cox looked utterly bewildered when it was paid, but was too exhausted to protest.
