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

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
