There is no doubt all 3 of them have OP - another year down the drain & the Clubs future down the drain as well.

The club is playing ducks & drakes about information with their injuries but I reckon it is crystal clear.

Interesting that both Scott Thompson & Jolly had niggling injuries at Melbourne but since leaving have played almost every game.

I will be interested to see about Travis Johnstone - averaged about 15 games a year with us & has only missed 1 since at Brissie.

    so, let's say 22 rounds per year x 10 = 220

    Average 15 rounds a year x 10 = 150

    150/220 or a ratio of 32:1 (played games for every one missed game)

    So far at Brissie, he has missed 1 out of 8. That's 7:1.

    I agree with your post, but one missed game already is hardly anything to use as evidence of your argument.

    But yes, our facilities cost us valuable recovering.

    Can you confirm this through a source? or is it just speculation

    Far out, nearly cried. Can the title of this thread please be changed? Very misleading.

    CB, it'd make his ratio at melbourne 15:7 then wouldnt it, hardly 32:1

    Just to simplify, 2:1

    7:1 looks real good for TJ. Interesting point you make re Thompson and Jolly. Fitness or managed recovery - which or both to blame, if blame it is?

    The Brisbane data is far too limited to make up a statistically reasonable sample.

    15:7 over 10 years is approximately 2 games played for every one missed.

    Played 7, missed 1 at Brisbane bucks his career trend, but, he just has to miss a couple more to get him back on track.

    The continuing myth about TJ is alive and well. I heard Dwaayynnee talking about TJ's posseions against Carlton and how they were all "lace out", jeez, I only watched about a quarter of the game and saw about 5 that missed their mark entirely.

    We really need Rivers to get his body right - he's a very important player.

    The Brisbane data is far too limited.

    Totally.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
