Same injury that ended Matthew Egans career

Same injury that Garland has come back from

 

At least we have C Gar to help him through.

Poor kid. Just not fair sometimes.

 

Let him train with the Melbourne Storm- that may help.

Not such a silly idea, it would be great to get some of that Melbourne Storm "Steel Spirit" at the MFC. Look at what happened to them last year, had to play the season for zero points. Did it with mass dignity, & now this year they are back up top straight away.

Bellamy brings in young cast offs and older players who have lost their way & consistently turns them around.

Regardless of code Bellamy is a football club Genius, i did hear Garland say that a few of the storm boys spoke to our club last week...We should share more knowledge.

Can we all stop talking about career ending injuries RIGHT NOW!!!

Grimes is not Egan. He will make a full recovery and will be running around getting injured again in no time!

Oh Grimesy, you are like the new Rivers. I'm feeling the need for another signature counter. Number of seasons uninjured= 0 :(

This club seriously cannot catch a break sometimes. Losing Grimes for the year is a massive blow.

It was confirmed on 10 news tonight that Jack Grimes will miss the remainder of the season

OMG OMG OMG. I just noticed an Injury Rumour thread other than this one . Quick Whispering Jack go and assert your dominance on that thread!

In this day and age alot of people know alot of people. If a person is confident in what they preach, they are 100% entitled to withhold their sources from people they have never met.

The disdain that some people showed a new poster trying to pass on information about the club that he had heard and nice enough to share is a disgrace.

5000 posts on a site doesn't mean you're a better or more informed supporter than the next person.

You'll find that those posters with between 1000 and 2000 posts are generally the more informed and articulate posters B)

 

FFFFFFFFFuuuuuuuuu......see you next year old son.


This sucks.

But if Col. G could come back from it, then I have no doubt Frank will be back up and firing for Round 1 2012.

In between 1400 to 1500 to be exact? ;)

I've been harping on for Jack Grimes to be named in the middle to give him a run, saw him there in the opening bounce and nearly wet myself.

A massive shame to see him go down with this injury and prematurely cut off what I believe would have paid off naming Grimes in the middle against Adelaide.

However when one door closes, another one opens. This isn't our year to be aiming for top 4 even top 8, sure position progress is great up the ladder - but I'm just as excited to see who could be named

in our squad and make a real impact. i.e Tapscott.

That being said if I were Bailey I would give any one of our younger players a shot instead of bringing back Cale Morton straight into the side. Whether that would be Evans, Nicholson, Blease etc.

Better this injury happen now than 4 years down the track when we are looking at finals contentions.

Hopefully this isn't as bad as Matthew Egan's. Navicular bone can be a really bad one to cop.


It's really disappointing to hear he's picked up a serious injury.

I hope he can recover in the manner Garland has.

Good post. would almost agree with your sentiments word for word. Also best to do it now in the season than second half of 2011

Horrid luck for him and the club. I hope it is not a bad one and looking forward to see him back next season. I'm hopeful someone will step up. If we have true character something like shown last Sunday we should carry on. If we don't it wont make any difference anyway.

Wouldn't mind giving Blease a run actually. Him or possibly Evans. Not so sure about Nicholson just yet.

Does not have to be like Egan. Clint McKay of Victorian and Australian cricket fame has the same injury which was done earlier in the year and he has been back running again and is expected to be fine and I think fast bowlers put a lot more pressure through their feet then footballers in terms of impact. Its a slow rehab process because as soon as you get some pain you have to stop running and rest again.

or Colin Garland

Why is it some players in all clubs, just have bad run with injury's then you get someone like Brett Kirk who plays for years without missing a game, not to mention Yze. Some guys just have no luck.

  • 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.
