explain meniscus?

    Crap 'boundary riding' from Mark Howard: too busy guffawing over Hawkins and Podsiadly and Ablett and whoever else was wearing white and blue.

    Bad news.

    explain meniscus?

    The knee has two major cartilages both shaped rather like a crescent ( from the Greek, not Latin ). There's a medial (inner) and lateral (outer). So, he might have "done his cartilage".

    Am I correct in saying that's it's only really a 4-6 week injury and only requires a minor bout of surgery???

    One of my friends had his meniscus operated on and doesn't seem to have many prolonged effects.

    Poor bloke seems to find a way to get injured. Hopefully he can get back quickly. He needs to keep on developing.

    Doesn't sound too serious. This year is a big just getting confidence back in his body year. I really havent been overly impressed by him this year but def not about to jump off his bandwagon.

    I don't expect Garland to be back to his best until next year, but he is crucial to our long term defence.

    in 2008 he was our best defender.

    Now he is part of a team of Frawley, Warnock, Grimes, Rivers and then Garland who can play equally on talls, smalls and mediums.

    Garland is the best match up for any tricky medium sized forwards which play such an important role in modern footy.

    Go dees

    +1 he seems to be getting more confident and improving every game.

    Apparantly it was only a jarred knee had scans and got the all clear for any structual damage according to SEN today. 50/50 for this weekend

    Fantastic news!

    We could really use him against Carlton and Collingwood's small forwards.

    That's about as good as we could have hoped for.

    I agree with sylvinator when he says that it's likely to be next year when Garland really starts playing some good footy again - he missed a heap of football with his foot injury.

    I agree he is a very important player too our backline equal to Warnock and Frawley IMO for that exact reason

    It's a miracle he has been able to get back on an AFL ground without losing pace or skills, but yes it will take him a while to get back into top gear again.

    He is such a smart footballer, and such a versatile player he is easily in our top 10 most important players of the future IMHO.

    You think he's looked as quick as he did pre-injury?

    I don't.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
