Injury woes are kicking in now....oh, how quickly a nearly fully fit list turns to one with a long injury list! Haven't heard anything about Jordan Gysberts or Luke Tapscott. They are presumably injured, but why no mention of them? Anybody know anything?

I would not be too concerned. Tapscott and Gysberts is purely they had not completed the relevant training load to start games.This if anything is injury prevention. I would say most of our injured list aside from Chip, Morton, Petterd, Campbell, Newton most would play if we were into the season. I would not be too concerned.

Spoke to cam schwab at intraclub last week. Both tapscott and gysberts are on modified programs due to last year's injury problems. They probably both need to be treated as first year players would in that respect. They also need to rebuild their bodies in terms of core strength and some guys who look big are not neccessarily strong in some areas and vice versa. So neither are injured (good news) but neither are ready and they arte taking an ultra conservative approach due to their first year injury woes so they don't break down again. That is my understanding anyway...

I saw Luke Tapscott at Chadstone yesterday with a nice looking lady friend. Didn't look like he was hobbeling around or anything.

Our list management is doing all the corrct things to ensure what is hopefully a injury free start for these young guy's. Once upon a time this approach may not have been taken.

Gee Luke is a big fella for such a young kid. I would certainly hate to get hip and shouldered by him !!

I managed to speak to Max Gawn and Luke Tapscott at Intraclub, what was said in this thread is correct, managing them, Tapscott in particular is a bit '[censored] off', he is ready to go and wants to play but understands what the club is doing so his career lasts a bit longer than one more serious injury....asked about Gysberts they told me the same thing......young growing bodies.....also spoke to Jack Grimes at the AGM and asked him particularly about the managing....he said he would prefer to be on 60 games now but totally appreciates how and why......feels ready to rip this season.....and is so pumped from elevation to leadership group he wants to put in 22 big ones.....

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
