Tom Scully Injury

Featured Replies

Posted

Just heard on MMM that Tom's injury may be worse than thought and he could be out for half the season but certainly more than the 4 weeks the club have indicated.

 

lets hope he's not suffering from GWS

Didn't take long...

This sucks. What a waste. On so many levels.

ont tell me that you heard it off eddie t can of worms that he opened about sculls.... i wouldnt read too much into it


It was supposedly reported on the radio about 3 days ago (?) that Scully would be out for 10 weeks, but I have not seen anything about this anywhere else at all since. I thought maybe they had got him confused with Staker who was given an estimated out time of 3 months (12 weeks).

Sad but true , I mentioned this in the Injuries thread the other day .

Our second rate medical staff botched the rehab of an off season knee Op . :rolleyes:

Yes, it must be that...

When was the last time we were "Lucky" ?

Perfect Melbourne supporter rebuttal!

You're having fun with me, aren't you?


Last week on Footy 360 they said the injury was more than likely going to be double (at least) the reported four weeks.

Ha , yeah I'll give that .

Some early draft picks from last year are struggling. Morabito is out for the season for Fremantle and now this with Scully. Glad Trengove is fit, and Martin for the Tigers. Hope this isn't true, but it's not looking good. The more he misses, the less likely GWS will chase him in my opinion.

haha its looking like that

The is highly libellous. Do you have any evidence to back up that our medicial staff are basically incompetent? This is what you are saying.

Did Scully even have off season knee surgery after the 2010 season? Maybe after 2009 yes, but not sure about 2010.

In any case, if our medical staff were no good they would be replaced.

Facts are , if we wanna progress from pretenters to contenders and compete against the Collingwood and Hawthorns of the league , we've gotta find the dosh to pump into the Medical Dept.

It's a hard balancing act because you want to be fit and strong but you don't want overuse injuries or preventable injuries cause during training.

Facts?

As opposed to conjecture?


Christ this is hard to take.

Out injury record for new recruits is appalling. Are we the worst in the league ?

It feels like every high draft pick bar Trengove has had major injuries since they arrived. many in their first year. It is a long list.

Taken one out, there will always been an explanation, but it it a disturbing trend, especially when it is in the crucial development phase of these players.

people have no background in medicine or sports science, and no idea what the injury is or how it was treated and just come on here with these big statements. 'Ill-informed' would be the term

It probably shows how we are careful in not playing the kids whilst injured so that we can prolong their careers, rather than shortening them in a blind attempt to win a few more games now.

It is also probably demonstrative of the gap in talent in the mid-age bracket at our club - in other teams, kids being injured and not being able to play might be more easily missed, as they aren't desperate to push the kids into the senior side as soon as possible.

Someone like Sam Reid at Sydney has had injury, but we don't hear about it because last year Bradshaw, Goodes and White were able to carry the load in attack and the team still performed well enough to make finals.

Perception isn't always reality.

You've made some poor posts, but this shows you really have no clue and are happy to wildly speculate.

Touch. Wood.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
