It's Jobe's third year in a row he's had a significant injury. You (should) know what you're getting yourself into when you pick a player north of 30 with that kind of recent history, and can't think you've been short changed if they go down. You can't keep saying that every setback is somehow a reflection of personal bad luck....

There was one year I picked Jobe and he was doing well until the Port Adelaide game.
It was the last game of the round and Jobe was my captain. I needed approximately 110 points from my captain to win an important cash league game. I was ranked in the top 500 too.
He then proceeded to have a collarbone injury (IIRC) in that game and was subbed out with 43 points I think.
Since then, I've never picked him again and never made any player in the last game as captain

^^ This.
Oz complains a LOT lol. One of the first posts I saw when I joined the forum was oz complaining about how unfair the SC cup draw was when there weren't enough players. Every week I see him bleeding about how injury riddled his team has been and how he has copped all of the big injuries etc.
The thing is - everyone is in the same boat. It might seem like you have copped them ALL but to a degree, everyone has dealt with this carnage. My injury list of players who have missed games is pretty long:
Bontempelli
Gibson
Lamb
Ellis yolemen
Vandenburg
Heeney
Salem
Ryder
Goodes
Cripps
Clark
Rockliff
Mumford
Lever
Sloan
Bennell (several times)
Watson

Mate, please give a it a bit of consideration if you are going to mouth off about someone, in this case my complaining. Which fair cop, I do at times. The fact is my whinge is understandable given my context is four years of it. It's called venting. I'm not whining about this year in isolation as a singular year of bad buck will tend to happen from time to time and I'm sure plenty have felt that this year. My experience is four years long. If you are going to knock a guy when he is down, rather than support, then least get it accurate of the bleeding is about four years, not one bloody year. Enough with kicking people when they are down. A bit of empathy and understanding would be more helpful or just leave it alone altogether. Walk in some one's shoes for fours years before hanging **** on them. Not happy Jan! Rant over!
