Jared Rivers - it's a hip!

According to the Herald Sun today, Rivers missed because of a "hip".

I just wish the club was a bit more forthcoming to supporters about injuries to players. I'm not talking about these last minute things but it took a long time for us to be informed as to why our best defender missed out. As for Juice Newton and his injury ... pffft!

    The lack of feedback is bloody frustrating...I'm not convinced that this "toadstool" treatment fools opposition clubs but it certainly give club supporters the tom-[censored].

    My great hope is that it is not a "groin-related hip".

    Groin related hip flexor abductor hyper-extension pubis.

    4-6 weeks.

    Yep. It's a lot quicker and easier to spell "hip" rather than non-specific osteitis of the pubis.

    Yes, I was being facetious in my diagnosis.

    Without Rivers, we are lost even when up and running. To lose him now would be disaster. Ofcourse we need to play youngsters, but he is a young defender as it is! For a guy who's 23 he has been injured an awful lot :(

    Get well soon!

    I spoke to Sean Wellman at the aftermatch function, and he said it was a knock on the hip, and he'd be out 'for a couple', and also that Carroll had a bit

    of a hamstring niggle and would miss next week most likely too...

    I wonder if what he says about Carroll is true. I was feeling that maybe dropping him was in some way related to his discipline/off-field behaviour. Hopefully he is just injured though, because I was wondering why PJ got the nod over Carroll to replace Rivers

    Nice try.

    The abductor is actually an adductor.

    No, he's right. There are both abductors and adductors in the groin area. Each has a different function.

    Thanks. No wonder its creates problems! B)

    So is OP mainly focussed on the adductor muscle or both?

    Just a question but with all the attention on rivers and our backline doesnt anyone think about wheels?? personally i think we are doomed with out his speed and pressure idown there sure rivers is probably the best in our club at reading the play and spoiling an dis a nice kick lol but he needs others around him to compliment him.. wheels, weats and rivers get back in the teamm no wonder carrol isnt playing well he is playing with a bunch of peole he doesnt know.

    I believe both are susceptible but our game seems to bring out the worst in adductors.

    If Carroll and Rivers are both not available next week we should go with Stef Martin. We don't have anything to lose.

    • 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.
