THERE will be no deep dive into the reasons behind Gold Coast's horror injury toll at the end of the season, says Suns chief executive Andrew Travis.
For the second straight year Gold Coast's campaign has been railroaded by a catastrophic run of bad luck, but the Suns' boss says he is satisfied with the club's fitness program.
At the end of last year, the Suns employed Justin Cordy to head its physical performance team and did a thorough investigation into the problems from the 2015 season.
"Unfortunately we've topped the ladder again for number of players used for the second year running, and it's not necessarily the ladder we want to be on top of," Travis said.
Prior to round 19, the Suns led the league with 39 players used.
Midfield stars Jaeger O'Meara and David Swallow have not played a game, while Gary Ablett, Dion Prestia and Michael Rischitelli have already gone in for season-ending surgeries.
Travis said most of the problems came down to bad luck more than bad management and a review was not required.
"It's something we addressed at the end of last season, we put a three-year plan in place, and we're really comfortable with that," he said.
"It's now more a continuous review and assessment rather than a season-ending assessment.
"The collision and medical-based injuries are the ones that are up on last year.
"Last year was soft-tissues, which are a bit more controllable.
"And the length of injuries is the other one.
"While we've used a lot of players, we've lost a lot for a game or two at a time, so that tells me the resilience to play AFL football is getting better."
Travis says with all the injuries it's hard to assess how well the Suns have performed in 2016, although he was pleased with the impact of coach Rodney Eade in his second season.
"We expect if we get a good run at it next year, the win-loss part takes care of itself," he said.
"No doubt there'll be high expectations next year.
"Rocket's in the third year of a three-year contract, so as with all coaches that enter the final year of a contract, I'm sure it'll be a discussion item.
"That's something we'll manage at the time. It's not something we've put our heads towards thinking about just yet."
