Irrelevant of Freo's game plan, Roly's coaching or Bondy's recruiting, Freo have injuries. Injuries hurt.
It's only Round 7 and already the teams that are fielding consistent starters are sitting pretty and those like Freo are not.
Norths, Geelong, Sydney, Adelaide, and the Slime are having a good year with few injuries. They have all had at least 19 players so far play 6 or 7 games of the season. Meanwhile, Freo have had 14 and Collingwood even worse with 12.
Again, injuries hurt, especially when they are your AA's.
But hey, let's keep blaming Roly and Bondy just for the fun of it.
