The Injury Plague Continues


Jaded No More

Recommended Posts

I have to ask, WTF did they put Garland back on the ground? Seriously dumb risk!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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???

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.

... 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?

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

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
