They rarely get the amount of injuries we do and they rarely miss the finals. I don't believe it's all down to good or bad luck.
You only have to go through the top 8 sides and besides Sydney at the start of the year, which they have completely overcome, none of them have had a huge injury toll, particularly long term ones.
Same for Sydney, Hawthorn, Geelong and slime in their recent long spells in the top eight.
I don't think all of them are full of seagulls and play bruise free football. In fact I'd be happy to play any sort of football that meant we really had sustained success, not the pretend promised one.
