I must say i thought the same thing during the game..Poor old Judy could hardly walk.

Sorry but that was a Bad Call from the Medical staff.

And we I starting of this season thinking 'gee, we've been luck injury wise'.

Gives young players a chance to shine though I guess.

You know that do you? You know that the medical staff has exacerbated the injury? Can I have an appointment, doctor?

And how many goals did Edwards kick on him in the 2nd quarter because he couldn't walk, let alone run?

It would be bad enough if it was a medical decision. But if it was a decision made by the coaches, it's worse.

I would love to see Tom McDonald in the team.

He looks a likely type and has the size.

The season has to be shot now. Way too hard to come through, too many big injuries to key players. No Garland, Trengove, Jamar, Bail, Scully.. Leaves huge holes in the team, that cant be filled.

Posted

I've watched Scully the last couple of weeks doing some running. He is getting better each time. He did some really hard running today and finished with light skill session. Hopefully he is not far away.

Rohan Bail (knee) - 4-6 weeks - Evans

Jack Fitzpatrick (ankle) - 7-9 weeks - Cook

Colin Garland (ankle) - 6-8 weeks - Rivers

Jack Grimes (foot) - season - Strauss

Mark Jamar (knee) - 3-5 weeks - Gawn

Jared Rivers (ankle) - test

Tom Scully (knee) - 3 weeks

Jake Spencer (knee) - season

Didn't that go from good to bad quickly.

Well, it didn't help...

Probably Colin's fault.

i wonder if the decision to sub had any influence. it appeared in the second that col was really struggling with it. would the footy dept thought if we can squeeze some minutes out of col it will help the rotatins?

Posted (edited)

just asking. took forever to come to conclusin that he was not fit to play. hobbled around like an old womn.

ps. a simple "no" would suffice.

Be careful what you ask for......WYL might be a proctologist

Gee..add Trengove and Dunn to that list and its nearly half the team missing this week.

Farrrk losing Garland for this long is a massive blow, so important in our drive from the backline and our structure is buggered without him. Tom Scully's knee is our worst enemy.


Posted

Anyone stop to think that it was Garland that said he was right? I don't recall Bailey or any of the medico's having an Xray maching up their a$$.

anyone think that they sent him back out and after a few minutes, he signaled no it's no good, can i come off..he looked to the bench before half time too and wanted to come off.

So are you saying that Garland asked to come off, but our bench (which includes coaching staff and medico's) told him to stay on?

We have some issues at the Club at present, but I firmly believe that we would not be stupid enough to risk player safety/injury management.

Mate i walk on crutches myself every day...so when someone has a clear limp i notice it.

Have you any idea how many bones make up an ankle joint??

And no i am not a doctor, but i do know how to read certain books to enhance knowledge.

Garland was clearly injured, and by continuing to put weight through the ankle has made it worse.

Who has the final word on that decision???

... especially with the absence of Grimes.

On another note, what's the exact definition of a Long Term Injury? We can promote 2 rookies for Spencer and Grimes. But does Fitzpatrick's 8+ weeks constitute "long term" enough to promote another one?

Posted

Where is Joel MacDonald? Bring him in. Bring rivers back. Test Newton down back. We risk getting killed by St. Kilda's talls this week.

I was sitting close to the interchange bench and distinctly noted Garland nodding his head in a 'she's right ' manner when he returned from the dressing room after initial treatment

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
