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??

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.

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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
