Pretty sure Campbell was also recruited because he would assist in the development of our young players.

It may have slipped through to the keeper for some, but in his time out of AFL he started up a program developing kids to be more AFL-ready before they get drafted.

I don't think we really intended for him to play (AFL) at all -- the idea was for him to act as an on-field development coach at training & in the VFL.

Even when he can't get out there because of injury, he'd act as a valuable mentor.

Then why not hire him as an assistant coach and use the rookie spot taking a punt on another player that may play a game?

Has anyone heard any more about this. I heard it also on 7 but it seems odd that the news is nowhere else to be found. Ch 7 surely dont just pull things out of their backside did they?

Not surprised about Scully. I had stress fractures in my foot a couple of years ago, initially I was told 7 weeks and it ended up taking 7 months to heal. A mate of mine had a similar fracture, he missed around 6 months. Obviously different people heal at different rates, but from experience I can tell you these things are bastards to get over.

Because he's ALSO better ruck insurance than PJ...

It's not that complicated.

So who actually reported the blow-out to 10 weeks for Scully's recovery? I have checked on the AFL site, Real Footy site, MFC site and all injury lists I could find, and I'm coming up with nothing. Sure they didn't mean Staker instead of Scully? - after all, the LARS treatment has apparently reduced his recovery period from 12 months to 3 months which is a tad over 10 weeks

I hope Campbell gets off this list and is available as Insurance for us.

He is a real asset to the club whether he plays or not.

My dilemma is that I'd like to see him healthy and pulling on the jumper and playing but that would mean one of two things I dont want to see; an injured Jamar or our favourite martin not continuing his form.

Scully was always going to be longer than 4 weeks and we should not rush him back.

Has the McKenzie date slipped out?

Slowly managing his OP. Will be a tough first half of the year for him.

I have a gut feel we will not see him till late in the season if at all.

Be carefully now it is not called OP anymore.

The Roth of Khan will Descend on you!

If that's the case, and he has long term injuries, why didn't they make him a coach and take a punt on somene else. Is that too complicated?

Well, you never INTEND to have injuries to your number 1 ruckman.

He is insurance.

I didn't say we wouldn't want him to play if required.

And the alternative at the time was PJ who also isn't available because of injury.

Most of this seems over your head though Thomo...

I still don't see why you think a long term injured player is insurance for anything. Nothing to do with PJ, we did not have to choose one or the other. If he has a history of injuries, and seems that he was injured when drafted, and you think that it was never intended that he would play for Melbourne, why draft him?

Try and rely without your usual keyboard hero stuff you type when you are struggling.

I'm not sure we knew he was long-term injured when we drafted him.

I've heard we were deceived about his fitness pre-draft, but I'm not certain if that is the case.

Are we certain the achilles injury isn't something that has occurred since we drafted him?

The reason he stopped playing originally (to my understanding) is a degenerative knee condition, not because of his achilles.

Correct e25 that is my understanding as well!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
