He did a full pre season, so that is tripe for a start, and you cant play with a stress fracture for so long, it gets too sore, ask Colin Garland or Mathew Egan.....especially when you carrying 100Kgs on it...

I'd quit while you're behind. You're starting to look stupid and it will only get worse from here. Just inhale - exhale.

All will be revealed soon.

    He didn't do a full preseason. Every time I went to training he was walking the boundary.

    He did a full pre season but not with the seniors.....

    He was told yesterday afternoon.... possibly the reason it hasnt become fully known yet.

    Give it time and you will see it aint tripe.

    this is the worse news i have heard this year.

    I really thought we had found a ruckman that could possibly turn out to be a real find and number 1 ruckman for years!

    now back to square one :(

    yeah they should put big stef in there to dominate... or even suite jimmy stynes back up.. he proved he can still mark the ball the other week haha

    I will back off, this is very sad if it is true, and for the posters sake it better be, there is enough tripe in some of the threads without starting a fake injury one.

    PJ, Stef Martin, Spencer can ruck, Spencer is not on the injury list or is there something we should know?

    if true, bugger :( seemed to be showing a bit of recent too. Out of contract this seasons end. Will be interesting to see how it all develops

    I wish Meesen well in his recovery. Time as always will tell whether he remains with us I suppose

    Phew, dodged a bullet there.

    Don't want to run foul of Mr Zealous.

    Will stop revealing the true facts, and will start making up stupid rumours instead.

    He's put the gun in the holster and is slowly backing back. But one eye is trained on your forehead.

    Spencer is available this week.

    And that's the silver linning.

    [censored] news for Meesen if true, as he was finally starting to show something.

    On a separate note, are we just unlucky, or is our list injury prone?

    I blame Bohdan Babaczuk for all this. He is the source of all these injuries :angry:

    Oh and this is further evidence that the gameplan does not suit our list. :wacko::rolleyes:

    Only kidding!!!! :wub: However i thought I would get in before the torch wielders and assorted pretzels garner their potted logic and start making spurious allegations.

    Well someone had to say it ;)

    But seriously, our injuries never stop. Is it crappy luck, is it having a young list that is being overworked, or is it simply having a whole bunch of injury-prone footballers?

    It's a massive worry. If we were playing for a final birth, these injuries would have a huge impact on our chances.

    Are we really any different from any other club or is it simply that we focus on our club for obvious reasons and as such all things seems of more import and effect ??

  • Quote

    All clubs have injuries and most clubs would play players underdone.

    I think the state of our list, and our ladder position, dictates that we do not rush players back in. Guys like Bell, Whelan, Grimes, would be playing by now (if they were deemed necessary) in a finals year.

    Geelong and Hawthorn have bigger injury lists, what are you on about?

    I'm not saying we are the only club that suffers from injuries.

    I'm simply pointing out that we have an issue with players sustaining injuries that are not necessarily related to impact. Meesen, if indeed injured, is the 4th player this year to sustain "stress fractures", which are injuries related to the body breaking down, as opposed to getting broken, if that makes sense.

    We'll never know why this is happening, but it's a worry.

    We've had three years where half our list had OP, another stress-related injury, and now 'stress fractures' are all the rage.

    Maybe it's just rotten luck, as I've said, but maybe it's not?

  • Quote

    Well I'm still yet to hear anything out of the club so I'm crossing my fingers that it isn't true/

    And even if it is surely Meesen's shown enough to stay on our list next year. Jamar's the one in most doubt for next year and beyond.

  • Quote

    Meesen's contract extends into next year doesn't it?

    So I don't see how this could be the end of his career, though he'll have to work bloody hard.

  • Quote

    when was it extended ? was under impression ( stand to be corrected..might even sit..:lol: ) it was up at end of this season

    Its 2010.

    curious ..source ? Thought he came here on a 2 year deal

  • Quote

    Give Shane Valenti the job in the ruck.

    Yes, I know, he's not very tall but judging by the stats, he wouldn't be too far behind the blokes we've used in the ruck so far this year.

    All good.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
