Our continuous injury woes!

As RR has noted, I'm sure continual reviews are done throughout the course of the year and in the event of any injury.

Its just good management.

I think you are judging the club based on your expectations and limited knowledge of what would be done running an AFL club.

As always I accept your points of view- however all that I have said is I hope they DO HAVE A REVIEW & NOW,. I'd prefer them to look at what can be done now so MFC do something about it- rather than RR suggested maybe yearly.It must be destroying his confidence- we may even may have to consider him going to Germany to do what that Geelong footballer had done- think it was Ox's blood injected.

No you're right for the most part on Wonna.

Its all the other crap that makes you melodramatic.

Leave it.

Your entitled to your opinion, but crap is as crap does. I will leave it when others do, otherwise, as some one else said on this very forum, it will be a case of "pots, kettles, black."

I will not be condescended to by anybody, regardless of their designated role.

I was thinking the same thing.

The fact that many guys are having their first full pre-season in a while, and that Wonna looked pretty good, suggests we're doing something right.

As for pre-season injuries, there are 40-odd players on a list. Chances are that some are going to be injured most of the time.

I thought the points were very similar too.

;)

RE: RR, his posts reflect his own opinions unless otherwise stated (just like any mod).

However it is the way they are expressed.One person does not have to feel persecuted or belittled to have or give an opinion.

Nothing like making conclusions without the facts.

i don't believe i was drawing any conclusions. merely stating that i have doubts. it is a gut feeling that i have had since he was appointed at the club. there were murky circumstances about his departure from hawthorn and i merely noted that when he was first appointed.


And to borrow a line from Paul Simon:

"Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest".

That's from Simon ahd Garfunkel's "The Boxer" is it not? Seems an apt song title after reading some of the posts in this thread.

PS. My favourite Paul Simon song is St. Judy's Comet.

PPS. I was at casey last year to see Aussie blitz early and then go off injured. He looked in great nick. If I had known then he would not play for the rest of the season I would have been thoroughly traumatised.

I was hoping he was et for a great year this year. Hopefully this is just a minor setback.

Fair enough. Aside from rumour what are doubts logically based on?

As for "murky circumstances" all there is are rumour and speculation about his departure and its get repeated ad nauseam on this site from time to time that it gathers a false head of truth.

I have read alot of unsubstanted criticism of BB yet to read one informed critique of Bohdan's role. I note his title/role has changed during his time at MFC but most of his detractors would not know what role he does actually fulfill.

As I have said before, if BB is failing his role then he should be held accountable. However this accountability should be based on the facts not on Footy Forum innuendo and scuttlebutt.

Agreed, but we can only offer our opinion based on "limited" knowledge, unless we are in the inner sanctum. Recurring hammys are a problem and on face value, some modification of his program may be warranted.

I have been to the Junction Oval at times and it seemed that they were altering/ changing his running style sometimes learning to run properly can have an impact on different parts of the body.

Similar to what St Kilda is doing with Joel Smith

Yes I did- thank you for putting me right- however Joel at first was injury prone as well(knee).

what with simon buckleys apparent amazement at the different workloads, and indeed work rates, of north melbourne and Collingw&%$ compared to us, and now this, it makes us sound like a bunch of mollycoddled sissies as per Hollywood's post on the17th December definately highlights why I think the club requires a review however the summation on Wonaeamirri's injury shows that he has had a review which seems continuous.

Happy and safe festive season to all.

Just out of general interest when did Simon Buckley come out and say that

Do not know- as stated as per Hollywood's post on Demonology


With all due respect, running out games has not been one of our problems over the last 2 seasons and I think competitiveness has increased dramatically.

Even though preseason is started early, training sessions are spaced out for the players, giving them more free time and keeping them fresh.

A gradual increase in intensity is sensible as otherwise the players would be burnt out late in the season.

Fitness is not an issue.

I wouldn't be worried about what Buckley says - no doubt he would be hurting from his delisting.

You maybe and most probably right- however it would not hurt to have a re think- is all I am recommending or requesting..

Once again - do you really think they don't do regular reviews?

You don't see the logic?!

If they did a review, Wonaeamirri never would have done his hamstring.

But who will review the reviewers?

My head hurts...

But who will review the reviewers?

I dont know...

Coastguard?

But who will man our shores from forgeign invasions that have been so prevalent recently?

Wonaeamirri while he is holed up injured?

He is from the Tiwi Islands...

So a review would save Aussie from being injured, but would also leave Australia open to invasion from afar? Dangerous game we play at the MFC

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
