Some players just spend their lives being injured and it is a shame for Rusling. Add Tom Williams - 12 games in 4 years for the dogs, reinventing the use of the word indefinite on the injury list ( I think he may have been in the same draft as Rusling), Darcy's two years of knee injuries, Beau McDonald was on Brisbane's list for 2 years and played 1 game I think. Note Austin: injuries aren't funny whether they happen or are caused by Collingwood players. Find a better way to hang it on the Pies

By virtue of the wide and expansive range of peculiar "God must really be having fun with me" injuries, Koschitzke would be high up there - but then again, so is James Hird, and he seemed to do okay out of his career.

Dean Rice had two knee recos at St Kilda, was traded to Carlton in 1994, then needed another reco after his first game with the Blues. Unfortunate.

Koschitzke** i show you spell his last name not Kositzke =P

No Justin Kositzke would be the unluckiest guy in football he has been at the club 7 years and only played 99 games. In the 06 season he couldn't do anything right i'm just gald he's on track now.

Condolences to all the Pies, sad to see such a gun player like Rusling have to face another year sidelined.

He is a lightning quick forward and was being structured a sa key forward for your team.

3 years 3 times now sidelined for the shoulder, I do feel for him.

probably not as unlucky as fergus watts was but the poor kid cant get started, he has kinda taken off from where bucks left with the nagging injuries.

yeah i really feel for the bloke he cant possibly have that much bad luck.Hopefully he can recover quick he is 1 player in the afl that i love to watch.

You can't foget Kozi from St.Kilda. He was always finding ways to knock himself unconscious for a few years there.
