I knew that Wona was injured but Bartram? This article says that he has a burst ear drum.

www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/72516/default.aspx

What happened there? Maybe we can excuse him for making a few bad decisions late in the game....

Does anyone know if these repair themselves? I though that the inner ear was for balance - what does this mean then??????

The 'ear-drum' or tympanic membrane will usually heal itself after a minor traumatic perforation. I don't see why Bartram would need to miss much footy if any at all. He may get some funny whistling sounds on the odd occasion (eg. when sneezing or nose blowing), and his hearing may be decreased in that ear. Plus a perforation predisposes to middle ear infections, especially when exposed to water. But it is more nuisance value than anything and he'll be fine. Balance is not a problem, as this is controlled by the vestibular apparatus which is much deeper behind the tympanic membrane.

Demonland has its own ENT surgeon. :lol:

Nice work. Sounds like like doc larkins! Looking forward to reading any of your injury reports throughout the year. Glad to hear that it is unlikly that he will have any ongoing problems with balance ala Alisha Molic with her dodgy ears.

I heard it was really painful. Can't have been easy to concentrate on footy with that.

I'm no medico, but I would like to make a point about wonna's injury.

At his age and at this stage of the season I would suggest a hammy is very unusual. I wonder if that due to his rappid weight loss and "extreem" change in conditioning may have been a contributing factor. Interested to hear others opinion's on this if its just a freak occurance or have the fitness staff maybe made a mistake?

Given his improvement over the pre-season and BOG in the intra club I wonder if he was a little over done as opposed to Davey who has been managed a little differently? Which ever way I hope there is no long term set back ala when davey did his.

Pity that Wonna is injured. Hopefully he plays Round 1.

Today's MX on page 15 sayes Wonna is out for 4 weeks quoting Craig Notman MFC Ops manager.

Also says Robbo " is expected to be training next month" & rehab is going well. Means he is not going to play until well into the season.

I totally agree with you - I think Wonna's injury is due to over training. I am pretty sure Sydney Swans use a software to risk manage players over the year - however it requires a history of previous injuries to identify high risk areas. Nonetheless the curse of injuries to key MFC players continues.

Actually, I am working in ENT at the moment. Next week I'm switching to breast surgery... let's hope I'm not called upon for expert advice on MFC injuries in that area!!! Although the way some of them played last year... :rolleyes:

And for those that missed it Wheels has a calf strain. Given his age and his history with his calves, then I'm expecting the worst. (BTW I think the best will be a minimum of four weeks)

It feels like Wheels has one or three weeks on then four or five off as his playing pattern

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
