Western Bulldogs: Injuries

The Western Bulldogs have showed they have some decent depth outside their best 22, but there usually comes a time for at least one club a season where they are so maligned by injuries that it all becomes too much.

We may indeed be reaching that time for the Bulldogs.

Losing captain Robert Murphy early in the season was bad enough. Every club from the Hawks to the Brisbane Lions would love to have him out on the park, and he is not the All-Australian captain just for being a good bloke.

They have done well to survive without him, but after losing key forward Jack Redpath and midfielder Mitch Wallis, their depth may be tested to breaking point.
