    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)

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
