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.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
