According to the MMM call, it's out now and they can't get it back in, after coming into the game with it loose after last week.

Shocking for the kid after doing so well so far this year. The cost of being such a gutsy player.

According to the call they've JUST put it back in...

So what do the resident medicos (the ACTUAL medicos) here think?

Dr Peter Larkins says it will require an appointment with the specialist.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see now but knoowing our luck it will be a full one.

Watching the tv 1 hr delayed telecast.... Petterd just left the ground. He initially hurt it against brisbane last week. Landed on an outstretched arm. Hyperflexion injury - more than likely an ac joint last week. Definitely an anterior dislocation as he walked off this week. Whether it needs surgery or not is dependent on what is actually damaged - joint capsule/ligaments/boney avulsions etcetera. They'll get it back in, might need some anaesthetic to do it if they struggle as reported. Then its a matter of settling any pain and swelling. Have an MRI over the few days to assess how much damage there is and decide on treatment options then - surgical or conservative rehab and get it strong. Conservative management if appropriate will get him back sooner. Probably up to 12 weeks if it needs surgery. I'm private physio if you're wondering about my quals. Been doing this for 15 years

Larkins reckons he'll need a reco. At risk of sparking off another insufferable 8 pages of rubbish, opportunity for Watts??

considering the forward line was nothing, I would hope so, and I think its time for the young man to get some AFL games under his belt. ;)

For it to pop out 3 times in 1 game its obviously very unstable. From experience, the pain when its out is terrible but when its back in, if you haven't done any bone damage you get full pain free movement back.

He can't go on with it coming out all the time. They can fix them with keyhole surgery these days, unlike the 10cm scar on my shoulder. Might see him back sooner than you all think. Its a shame all the same.

I know a little about these shoulder injuries and to me it looked like he popped it out last week and not hurt his AC joint like some have suggested.

He will require a reco now. Whether the club wants to try nurse him through like Adelaide did with Porplyzia or send him straight for surgey is the question. I suspect that is his season done, and even possibly his career with the MFC.

why would he want to leave? we're abojut to become a powerhouse again. even after today, i'm not absolutely shattered. i think its a reality check that will be good for them to refocus and not get ahead of themselves. was always going to happen at some stage. get them up and about for next friday night and put in a good contest.

but i think petterd and jamar should be rewarded with bigger contracts next year and i think we have some room to move in the cap. on the form this year so far they deserve it. get petted right and he'll be back better than ever contributing to melbourne's tilt at flag in the coming years.

He hurt his shoulder last week.

Yet he played this week?

Well done the the MFC coaches and medical staff. No doubt Ricky will now bolt for the Gold Coast, and I dont blame him.

If he's fit to play, which he was, then he plays. Take that into consideration.

Season possibly, but I doubt career. He seems to want to stay, and they won't ditch him.

Yeah he sort of does. I'm only basing this on rumour and nothing substancial. That he has supposedly told us not to talk contracts until the end of the season is a worry. But I guess we'll find out.

I hope he's using this season to decide whether to stay or leave. If he sees us winning, then he should stay.

It's not a worry. It just shows he has a manager with half a brain recognising his value will be greater at season's end.

Though that plan may backfire a little if a reco is needed.

if pettard is out we should bring in watts

Funny, I was going to bring this up too.

Do people think he's ready yet? Would we be better off bringing in a more experienced player, or perhaps one of the smaller guys who've been pushing for selection? Bail needs to come back into the team for a start. Would you take Watts over him?

I had a very brief chat with Jack before the game at Southport yesterday. He indicated he is very keen to get a call up. Alas, based on what I saw in the game yesterday, I just can't see the call coming just yet. I would think they would want him taking the game on and excelling at the VFL level before they give him another run at Melb.

But, then again, the Football Dept knows better than me. Should they decide he's ready, and give him a run, and he does well, I certainly won't complain!

do you know something we don't?

No, sorry I didn't mean it like that. I stated a few posts later that I was only basing that on the rumours, nothing substantial.

But I will be very surpirsed if he plays again this season. That is the 3rd time its popped out so far that we know of.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
