Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


Injured Demons cleared

Well now none of that stuff regarding Brock is really good news. After hearing there was no ligament damage I'd taken that as it being a 3-4 week injury. But if there's still a chance of broken bones...

I must admit that if it was a broken foot he was hobbling around on, you have to take your hat off to the guy. Broken bones anywhere in your body are excruciating, and I have serious doubts about most human beings' abilities to put weight on a foot with any structural damage in it. When I looked at it that way I came to the conclusion that he MUST have injured something other than the bones themselves. Surely he wouldn't be standing up if there were fractures would he?

glad to hear the boys injuries aren't as bad as first thought and hope they make a speedy recovery

Dr Larkins says Wheels can play this week easily. McLean 4 weeks if no break which they doubt but CAT will confirm. Im not getting my hopes up till i know for sure

Hang on. So do they doubt that there's no break, or do they doubt that there is a break? Lost in translation there a bit. Occo I'm beginning to rely on you for my MFC news.

Well Larkins said on the footy show that he had a scan yesterday as a precausion but he will do a CAT tomorrow to see the extent of the injury and see if there is any break. Very badly brused and the reason McLean tried to run off was he wanted to see if the injury could be runed off. Its not an ancle and there is very little chance their is a break in the foot however the CAT scan (which is better quality than a normal scan - done on Sat) will determin the extent. If its a break - 10 -12 weeks looks the outcome but if brused he could be back in 3 weeks if he really pushed himself and their was no complications. The likely outcome is 4 weeks tho with no break as he may feel ok after 3 weeks but if he was to be crunched again without it being fully healed it would be disasterious.

As for wheels, he is ok to play round 2. Ball had stiches and will wear a helmet. Wheels just had concussion and the pannel argued it was a fair bump and does not deserve any suspension.

Im not getting confident about Brocks injury till i know for sure. Although it is seriously unlikely to be any ligement damage or break (just servear brusing), there have been times that the CAT scan has showed something. We will know by tomorrow arvo at latest as hes due for the appt in the morn.

Lets hope its good news. On the + side, our man Moloney is back :)

Like I said before, if it was a fracture, my understanding is that he wouldn't even be able to have limped around like he did. So that's something.

See you all down at Sandy. I need to watch some good footy.

The news is far from good YET for Brock. I not trying to be negative. All i'm saying is that a CT scan (not CAT scan, which means absolutely nothing other than perhaps a look around the pet shop for a new feline) of the foot would only be ordered to prove or rule out a suspicion of a fracture. We know there is bruising and swelling of the soft tissues. That MIGHT suggest a fracture, or MIGHT be just bruising. But I can't see how any of this is good news YET. I will only breathe easier IF and WHEN a fracture is ruled out. If so, Brock may be back very soon. If not, he might be out for quite a while (8-10 weeks). Fingers crossed, but journo's have no idea what they're on about when it comes to medical details... unless it was Doc Larkins or Peter Brukner who examined the foot. I do know that our doctor and doc Larkins work at the same clinic, but I doubt our doc would be too candid too early about the full extent of the injury, and the clinic is not open on the weekend.

Fingers crossed guys, but he's not out of the woods quite yet. And if it was a small fracture, he could easily have limped off with the adrenaline still pumping. I'm still praying... to God, Jesus, Buddha, Ganesh, Zeus, the trees and whoever else I could possibly think of.

Sorry

Occo, that wasn't a pot shot at you, but rather the media, who seem to have NFI. Those link articles used 'CAT' scan, as do many ridiculous TV shows like 'ER'. The public can only go on what it hears. CT means 'computed tomography', a form of medical imaging using x-ray beams that move in sych with special detectors across a 'slice' of the body and are processed by a computer to provide detailed pictures of anatomy and pathology. I fail to even see where anyone added an 'A'. I think it's an Americanization. And I have little time for that country (let it be known that I have nothing against individual Americans, but rather the attitude, ignorance, self-centered views and moral banruptcy of the country as a whole - if that makes sense). So I'm sorry if I sounded like I was having a go at you with that one. :D

This has been a dirty weekend so i'm not going to get my hopes up, but i'll just wish Brocky a speedy recovery.

Fingers crossed that they both make a speedy and FULL recovery.

Both will be missed.

A chance for a few 2nd stringers to step up though.

As long as we dont suffer any further setbacks against the hawks we should be looking ok heading into round 3. (injury wise, who knows about form...we will see)

Not sure about that. I was reading about an Indian spinner who bowled them to victory with a broken foot, so I think it'd be possible to hop to the boundary.

Yep. Beginning to see that. Brock has shown a fair amount of toughness in these early years, which suggests he's not the kind that would just hit the deck and wait for trainers even with some kind of minor fracture. The last 4 or 5 posts have certainly seen my mood regarding Brock drop a bit. Having said that I appreciate the info from all the qualified people above. Next time you feel you may have some medical knowledge that would eliminate certain possibilities, PLEASE don't hesitate to get online. In fact, see to it you're the first to post a thread regarding the players' health if theres pertinent information. I know we'd all appreciate it.

CAT = Computed Axial Tomography

Good research mate. It seems we may both be right in a way (though you probably more than me). I have never heard a doctor or radiologist or radiology department in a hospital I have worked in use the term'CAT'. But it seems in the past it has been used. Now it is definitely just 'CT' (see below - CT no longer limited to just axial images), but 'CAT' may have worked its way into vocabulary in the early days of using the method. Regardless, CAT is apparently valid, and I stand corrected. But you will still never hear a doctor say 'CAT' scan. And anyway, as long as it clears Brock of any bone damage, I couldn't give a rats what it's called. I think I was a bit touchy because of our loss and the double blow of losing Brock.

"Computed tomography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Computed tomography (CT), originally known as computed axial tomography (CAT or CT scan) and body section roentgenography, is a medical imaging method employing tomography where digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the internals of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation. The word "tomography" is derived from the Greek tomos (slice) and graphein (to write). CT produces a volume of data which can be manipulated, through a process known as windowing, in order to demonstrate various structures based on their ability to block the X-ray beam. Although historically (see below) the images generated were in the axial or transverse plane (orthogonal to the long axis of the body), modern scanners allow this volume of data to be reformatted in various planes or even as volumetric (3D) representations of structures."

fwiw i once broke an ankle while umpiring a game of footy in the opening minute of the game but ran (or hobbeled) on it for over 10 mins when i couldnt stand it any more...it can be done i spose and a healthy dose of adrenelein can really help you out. was in plaster for 8-9 weeks after that...

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
