Well, that's not nice. So disappointed for Tom.

Annoying but would rather him be fit and firing for the second half of the season and for many seasons to come than being rushed back and having to have post-season surgery and no preseason...

pox

How will this be interpreted by the paranoid fans...

Poor kid.

As the Rev would say - "footy sucks sometimes."

Not happy about it but when I heard of the injury I posted that he could be out for at least half the season. Unfortunately it appears I may be correct.

Glad they are being conservative.

No need to rush things with Tom...........we aren't flag bound in 2011!

excuse me I am going to go and smash something

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Spiffing.

He's a dud. Should have taken Trengove.

Oh yeah, that's right we did....

What the hell? Did Kevin Sheedy hit this guy on the knee with a hammer or something? Total BS.

I remember you saying exactly this. Did you know something we all didnt "know" or was it because of the type of injury. Even the Club is saying that it is an uncommon injury.

we have to suck it up. Our injury list is actually not too bad at present. We would love Jordie back in as well but it is rare for us to have most of our best 22 up and running at this stage of the year.

it makes absolute sense to be conservative, and if he is going this gives opportunities for others anyway.

I detect a faint whiff of BS in the air too

Praccy matches 'yeah he might be out'

Day before Round 1 'yeah he's out for 4 weeks'

Three weeks later 'that'll be another six'

someone's talking 5hit

I know we have to suck it up, and I know it is sensible injury management, and I know our injury list is looking ok at present, and I know Jordie is coming back and on and on, but FFS, I want Tom back. Not too much to ask is it. I hate injuries

Am I reading between the lines too much when I saw that Tonya Harding was offered the GWS Number 1 Ticket?

Heard about this a couple of weeks ago...probably not right - my take on it however is its probably really just a 3-4 week injury but

r6 - Perth

r7 MCG

r8 Etihad

r9 Etihad

Followed by 5 games at the 'G...I just think playing on the small ground is just too risky

I'd prefer Jordy back in the side before Scully anyway. He's a yard stick for us in the middle.

Should have taken Dustin Martin

Melbourne should have tanked and picked up Watts & Hurley

Scully to GWS.

Discuss.

Scully to GWS.

Discuss.

Yeah, because he is missing another 3 weeks he is going to GWS , then again, another demonlander heard it in his voice, so maybe, just maybe he is getting that 9 million dollar contract.

Isn;t this just confirming what everyone suspected anyway?

Isn;t this just confirming what everyone suspected anyway?

yes thats true, it is confirming that he is a long term player with the Demons and they do not want to have a recurring injury, flaring up every seasons. Fix it now and he will be as good as 278 games for the red & blue.
