M1 Abrams Match Preview: The Injuries
It might be possible to create a team, using the injured players for Melbourne and Carlton, and that would be a better composite side than what is on display for round 22 at the MCG.
While horrible drafting, undeserved contracts, off-field problems, bad attitudes, poor coaching and laziness are all reasons why the Blues and Demons are so bad, the injuries also need to be taken into account.
The following team is made up of the players who have been named on the teams' injured lists. It is possible that a few players here might play on Sunday, but most will not.
FB Paul Wheatley, Ben Holland, Bret Thornton
HB Ricky Petterd, Jared Rivers, James Frawley
C Brent Moloney, James McDonald, Anthony Koutoufides
HF Brad Fisher, Lance Whitnall, Matthew Bate
FF Aaron Davey, David Neitz, Brendan Fevola
Foll Cameron Cloke, Nick Stevens, Simon Godfrey
Bench: Adem Yze, Clint Bartram, Daniel Bell, Joe Anderson
