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.

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).

Yes, it must be that...

When good things happen we are lucky, and when bad things happen we are mismanaging...

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.

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.

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.

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.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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.
