Hi all

Has anyone got any updates on how young James Strauss is recovering from his broken leg?

Can we expect him to play AFL next year?

I thought he showed some good signs this year.

Cheers

    Great news that he is out of his moon boot and walking -- 50% of pre season work is expected to be completed.

    Hi. How's it going?

    This injury was tough to take. Just when Straussy's confidence was on the rise he snaps his leg like that. Major set back, but it is good to hear that he is on the mend! =)

    Weeping wall on Twitter made a card for him and a few of us sent in messages of hope, I'm sure things like that raised his spirits.

    Can't wait to see him back out there!

    I was at the game sitting in the front row where it happened and the look on everyones faces (other than James himself!! ) said it all, im glad hes recovering well because he had established himself in our 22 and was starting to become an AFL footballer. Really hope to see him out there in the 2012 season, hes quite a gem across the back line

    was in hospital today having a few things fixed up today.

    ankle thumb and knee i think. all minor things.

    interesting though, Green and Trengove are having the exact same thing done, something to do with 'better drop of the ball and kick action', a Mission idea??

    I know his surgeon. Absolutely delighted with his progress to date.... couldn't be doing better.

    He's been active in the weights room for a few weeks now.

    Walking without a problem on the leg and commencing running before the pre-season officially begins. Some surgery on an unrelated matter to football set things back but will be better than ever next year.

    Will be a great HBF for the Melbourne Football Club

    Hey Deemitch, I may have misinterpreted your comment, can you please clarify?

    Are you suggesting that both Green and Trengove are having surgery, however minor it may be, purely for the purpose of altering/fine-tuning their kicking action?

    Great to hear he is going well, I think in the back of our minds we all had he worst case 'Nathan Brown' scenario in our heads.

    Thankfully it wasn't broken against anything as hard as Matty Whelan.

    I hope it stays looked after and the time concentrating on rehab focuses the mind on the fact that he has shown that when he comes back from the injury, he can be a genuine AFL player.

    Heh, reminds me of the joke -

    "Will I be able to play the violin once the cast comes off?'

    "Yes, of course!"

    "Really? I couldn' before my arm was broken!"

    Why did I share that? Some deep untended pain, I guess.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Strauss play again next season. When I first saw the injury I feared it could be career-ending, but by the sounds of it he'll be back at it sooner rather than later. He'll be a gun.

    Saw him at my pub trivia night on Monday with a bunch of presumably Scotch mates.....he was walking happily with a bit of a limp. I was surprised he was so mobile.

    Yeah, Greeny's getting his left and right foot swapped so we can try starting him on the other flank. Should also confuse the opposition for at least half the season.

    Such a classic place the 'Dale.

    Watch out for team SHB. We dominate ;)

    Haha, I think you give footballers too much credit.

    The other player I'm particularly keen to hear about with his recovery is Jack Grimes. Can anyone shed light on his progress??

    Good luck to young James.

    Whether he was to or will ever become a great player remains to be seen, but he was just starting to make real headway.

    He's progressing well and is on track to be injured again by round 6, 2012.

    • 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.
