James Frawley's injury

Featured Replies

10-12 weeks seem a long time for a pec injury,

and if I was Shaun Hampson I'd probably intentionally injure myself too to spend more time with Ms Gale.

Conspiracy theory: Hence why he got injured on Gale's treadmill at her Sydney home.

 

i noticed on the foxsport article it says rookie John Meesen is also struggling after a third ankle operation and may miss the NAB Cup.

i didnt realise he was still at the demons

Heard Bails on SEN this morning talk about chip, says he will start jogging/running next week.

He will return, Hopefully by the time he does return he will have to fight his way back into the line up.

I want all players hungry for success.

great news but it's still would like to see him marking the ball etc before I start getting my hopes up of a return!

Sure, but he is still a young un, his body will repair itself, and he does have medical staff on call 24/7

Someone else will get a chance while he is recouperating.

2011 is all about positives (I hope!!!)

Agreed WYL.

For mine, this could be an advantage. But chip wouldn't be happy. But for the long term, I think better for the teams Ultimate success.

Hopefully this will give a young player their chance to prove their Value to the team,for now, And for our future!

There are a few that need the luck going their way, to show their skills and prove their abilities. (Martin,, Newton,, Spencer,, and some of the newbies may show something)... The absence,,, especially early in the season can be a good thing for these young bucks.

It also gives us a chance, as well as seeing some new talls,,, to then, (Upon Chips return), put the peddle down, to push on, for the potential of Finals Games.

All in all, this will ultimately help to build our future strength.

Our biggest weakness, in my mind, will be our ability to give games to individuals, who are 'on the fringe'.

He also said regarding Chip- that the target date would be Round 3 or 4. but may get back earlier.

Nice spin but for the teams ultimate success the best thing is to have guys like Frawley without serious injury(which is what this is) and playing every week. It builds his confidence and the teams.

Absolutely, but it is a contact sport so a plan B is just as useful in the long term. Look at Carlton, if Ju$$ goes down with an LTI they will plummett (great), but i hope we can minimize that at the MFC.

Frawley will be back, but in the meantime the show must go on....

He will return, Hopefully by the time he does return he will have to fight his way back into the line up.

Sheez WYL, The season hasn't started and you already have your hand on it B)

Nothing like blind optimism eh?

I did say "Hopefully"-I want a good year, we have waited long enough!!!!

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE-EXPECTATIONS MAYBE TOO GRAND.

Expectations are totally different to hopes. FWIW I too hope Frawley has to fight his way back into the team. No one should be a walk up start in a strong team.

reason for edit- new article up on AFL.com.au about Bailey's thoughts on the Frawley's recuperation time and the NAB cup format. Says we will be picking our fittest players for NAB cup preliminary rounds. No surprises


To all Demonlanders. I apologize for my tardiness. I have been away for quite some time and am trying to get a few things in order here in Melbourne. I have promised a bit of a report on Chip's injury from a medical perspective (esp. to jayceebee31 via PM) and I promise I will get around to doing this asap. So now that I have publicly written this post I have no choice but to honour that commitment. I did promise to do it by last Sat, but other commitments got in the way. I will make a new promise to write something meaningful by midnight tomorrow (Wednesday). I guess I have 10-12 weeks :-P But I'll do it sooner than that.

Take it with a grain of salt (or a whole handful if you like) but Chip posted on his Twitter a short while ago that he's started rehab and may even be a chance for Round 1.

Also of note he mentioned the only 3 other players in rehab at this time are Robbie Campbell,Juice Newton and Jordy Gysberts.

This is a good sign for that list to be so small, given what we've seen at North, Freo and Carlton already.

I wasnt aware that Jordan Gysberts was still injured. He must be still rcovering from hip operation

I really hope he is ready to play soon as i believe imo he is one of our most exciting prospects

Any more info?

Hey ,my friend- no need to pressure yourself- if time does not permit- leave it. It is not that crucial to me as I have spoken to Chip directly and Chris Connolly about it. It just didn't make some sense to me- however if time does find it's way then I'd love to read it. However, the most important thing to me is your coaching of the Demonlanders. They need to WIN and I want you to make sure you [censored] Demonlander if he plays( only rassin-Andy).

Have a great time with the guys.Hopefully I can get there to help out.Another little peice of advise is- try to get a colllection of players down there to meet, plan the match etc before the day.Communication is the key.Get High Towwer to post whatever you want to say also on the Demonology site for you.

Strained a hammy a few weeks ago, didn't he?

Did he even have a hip operation? He injured his back last year.

I know Tapscott did...


Frawley aims for Round 1

Good news

Chips recovering faster than expected and aiming for a possible Round 1 return.

even if he misses that target he ought not miss to much footy this year which is good for him, the club and all of us wishing him and the club success !! :)

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
