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


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!
 

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 :mad:

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 :P


Melbourne should have tanked and picked up Watts & Hurley :mellow:

Scully to GWS.

Discuss.

Yeah, because he is missing another 3 weeks he is going to GWS :rolleyes: , 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?

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.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
