I have to ask if people are really surprised by this. I thought it was screamingly obvious our season was trashed through injury and having to cobble together a playing 11 in end
It was screamingly obvious. But at the time I never graphed it or quantified it. I knew we had a lot, but to actually see the graph, especially to see out count relative to the median... it brings it home not just that we WERE crippled, but just HOW MUCH we were crippled. It validates and quantifies that vague feelign I had that it was bad...
That's no excuse for the Melb (Heart) City game we lost 0-5 with our best team on the park and at home. In some games we were just no there out right.
To me it was balanced out by us thrashing Victory
Anyway, Doyle being back is a big plus I think with the players we've got away and Fenton out.
