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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
