You're f*cking kidding us yeah??

EDIT: No you werent..

Jesse Hogan reports that Melbourne's nightmare run with injury has continued, with star forward Colin Sylvia suffering a broken jaw after being bumped by West Coast key forward Josh Kennedy in the first quarter. Syylvia could miss as many as eight weeks.

I give up.

He's not kiding. He also told me via phone that wonna pinged "the other" hammy. Seriously, when the hell will things start to shift our way?

He joins Callum Morton, Liam Jurrah and Daniel Bell on the sidelines.

Who is Callum Morton? Did we draft another Morton?

Seriously a monkey could type better reports.

OH NO!

This Saturday- Sylvia

Last Saturday- Jurrah

the Saturday before- Morton

these injuries have really set the tone for 2010. the last two seasons have been hard to watch, i'm personally going to struggle sitting through another like them.

What draft picks do we get if we finish in 16th place this year?

Add to that Wonnaeamirri who has done his left hammy and were f'd.

This is getting pretty depressing. Oh well, at least we`ll be fast tracking kids, ready to play or not!

Hands up... we might need help from demonland to make up a team for round 1... if so who's free !!!

Why can't we take a trick...

An maybe we need the services of WJ to coach.

This sucks, there is no positive to come out of this. Please no one say at least the kids can get a chance etc etc.... Honestly its like where destined not to succeed is it some sort of curse???? Seriously this is shattering.

The sad thing is Bailey will use it as an excuse. But he really is a good coach.

It would be interesting to see how many serious injuries we have had over the last 10 years and by serious I mean those that mean the loss of 6 to 8 weeks or more. I understand that a lot of injuries are just bad luck but we have had an enormous number that are related to soft tissue and stress injuries. If we had the money the club should do a review of all these injuries to find out where we are going wrong. Is it the medical staff, the conditioning staff or is our training methods and facilities?

Whatever, we need to review our methods and try to find out where we are going wrong.

I am as [censored] off about the injuries as anybody, but I have to point out that all of this year's serious ones have been collision injuries; and they happen in our game.

This news is worse than Cam Schwab's tattoo.

Not so, there have been injuries to players like Davey, Bruce, Wonna, Bate and Watts that are all soft tissue related. There are probably others that I can't name off the top of my head.

We have had a terrible time with these types of injuries and others like OP over the last ten years and I would say a lot worse than any other club. If this happened in a Private or Public company we would have OH & S all over us demanding to know why.

I understand that you did say major but we don't know the ramifications of Watts and Wonna yet and Bate has only had one game back so who knows what the future holds for him.

Yeah. That Bohdan Babicjuk just isn't doing enough to strengthen our players' jaw bones. Worst running coach ever.

Ummm... Really?? Worst comment I've ever read on these forums by a very long way.

He's teaching them to run into the wrong places, hence the collision injuries..........

You know, when I think about it, you're right. I'll bet that poor Isaac Weetra didn't get a single written warning before his dimissal either.

You've definitely hit upon a realistic and completely relevant problem with how our professional, full contact sport is run.

Question - Did Sylvia collide with Brad Ebert? AFL Website is reporting Ebert being knocked out as the only casualty.

Bloody hopeless, that Bigpond-run site.

Edit: just saw it was Kennedy. Same article from "The Age" at least mentions that SYYLVIA broke his jaw, continuing Melbourne's injury woes, considering we've already lost CALLUM Morton.
