Longer, according to those who've had a similar thing.

However, they haven't had the benefit of AFL-quality rehab etc, so who knows.

I've got the same injury (ruptured while sprinting). Without the benefits of AFL quality rehab, it's going to take me six months (from surgery) all up to walk normally. Even with top quality rehab, I'd imagine Robbo would still have a similar schedule. Is it just on three months since he ruptured his achilles?

    1997 David Neitz (30), Jeff Farmer (30)

    1998 Jeff Farmer (47)

    1999 David Neitz (46)

    2000 Jeff Farmer (76)

    2002 David Neitz (82)

    2003 David Neitz (65)

    2004 David Neitz (69)

    2005 Russell Robertson (73)

    2006 David Neitz (68)

    2007 Russell Robertson (42)

    So this year is shaping up as the lowest season tally since '97, when incidentally was the last time we won the wooden spoon.

    Thanks DemonDave for the stats, interesting comparison to '97.

    He did against St.Kilda on June 1st at the Telstra Dome. Brad Green hospital kicked (passed) it to a 3 on 1 contest in the centre of the ground. I was furious.

    • 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.
