Terrible news.

Wonna, Jurrah, Petterd.

Every time we have a forward that shows something we lose them for a season.

    Thats really sad news. So much to like about ricky, good over head, great on the ground, has a little bit of mongrel about him and you can tell he loves to be involved in the play, sounds silly i know, but he looks like he wants to be in every contest, and that is infectious.

    Someone else can now shoulder (pun intended) the fwd line responsability.

    Shattered, another season of development wasted. Looked really promising. I like players who love a contest and ricky is one of those.

    That's our third shoulder injury this year. Jeepers.

    Maybe Bohdan's to blame.

    All the best to Ricky in his recovery though. But I don't think he'll make it back by the end of the year, so he'll be set on Round 1.

    Shattering news, he's setting himself up nicely to become one of the most dangerous forwards in the comp in the coming years.

    All the best in your recovery Ricky and please say with Melbourne at seasons end.

    I'm getting a dejavu feeling, Scott Thompson 2004 with his foot injury when he was having his breakout year, got injured and never played for Melbourne again.

    He stated a couple of weeks ago that he was going to wait until the end of the year to sign a contract.

    Will be interesting to see what he does over the next 4 months in regards to this.

    I suspect the longer he goes on without signing the likelihood of him heading north is increased.

    well a dodgy shoulder might do more for us to keep him than more for Ricky being offered a GC contract.

    Or we end up fitting the bill for him to get right only to pizz off after he is right

    Some good-ish news from his twitter:

    Not the results i was lookin 4, still a bit hard to swallow.Already lookin forward to putting on the red n blue in 2011! thanks for the msg!

    Best sign yet he wants at the dees next year

    Crap...

  • Quote

    On one hand, he's done enough to keep his place on the list, and his return will be anticipated greatly.

    On the other hand, if he IS on the way to GC, the compensatory pick we would have gotten after 22 rounds of him would have been a lot better than whatever they'd give us now.

    If it's the second scenario, we lose. BIG time.

    Memo to Number 15 for Melbourne FC: 'Ricky... don't lose that number'. Stay at the Dees next year.

    Good result in the end of course. Stay well!!

    Shattered to lose Ricky for 2010.

    I am really hoping he signs and we get to see him again.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
