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...

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....

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.

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

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
