Everything at the club is second rate. Time for a move to a first rate ground and facilities. Move to the WACA would be a great start to refurbishing this club. 

I don't think moving grounds would solve any on field problems PD1899.

it certainly would need much more than that. No-one should under-estimate the overall  problems the club needs to address.

Gray, Cary, Coniglio and Sing all injured from Saturday. Unfknbelievable. Time to bring young Regan Hill and Daniel Hill in and give them a go. 

There has to be something seriously wrong to have an injury list like we have had the last two years. Our current injury list stands at 15. Most of them are multiple weeks - as well as Hunter and Sinclair, Gray, Cary, Coniglio, Smith, Ainsworth, C Jones, McPartland and Grocott are out for what is effectively the rest of the season. We have only just got Busher back in the team, plus McInnes, Mayne, Stubbs and Hill have missed a lot of footy this year. If nothing else, surely it makes it hard to attract recruits to the club if we have a reputation for large numbers of long term injuries. 

So we need 4 players to come in from last week's loss. It's really hard to see how we can win another game this year. I suppose we'd have to bring some of the following: M Jones, Martin, Z Hill, J Busher, Hayward, Mayne, or try someone new. Of course, it has a flow on effect, in that we put guys up from reserves to league, and colts to reserves, weakening those teams. 

Perth and WC both having horror injury runs, surely the new surface at MRP must be contributing to it, despite the "nothing to see here" attitude of WC.

Seems like Perth for their own players physical wellbeing, need to get out of MRP quick smart......they certainly have had a horror run of injuries of late.....

Devils advocate: It's only grass, guys. What could be different? The waca is pretty hard. Why don't other teams pick up injuries at Lathlain? Or do they? 

More likely to be the way Perth trains, prepares and treats players, or perhaps just bad luck. 

Are the injuries soft tissue? If not, it's probably just bad luck. Been 2 years of bad luck, admittedly.
