He has been good. Doesn't help when the ball is pumped in 60 times plus and he is generally playing on teh oppositions focal point. Plus every second half this year our midfield has struggled resulting in less pressure on those delivering the ball into the 50. Least of Neelds worries atm.

Agree. Unfortunately has been responsible for a few clangers as well.... Most likely due to poor communication.

Vital to our team.

It is one of the most pain in the arse painful injuries you can have. Now it is cold every morning his first couple of steps will be painful, once warmed up you function OK.

Since you seem to know about this injury, is it one that will require offseason surgery? Or will it heal itself if he keeps of it for a while?

A pain in the foot is a pain in the arse? I demand a second opinion.

Aaaaaaargh. Not good.

Not experienced it myself, but heard a lot of stories.

Get's more and more painful, and the only real solution is to break your foot.

I recall reading about Josh Kennedy at the eagles doing it earlier this season in the age.

http://www.watoday.com.au/afl/afl-news/how-kennedy-broke-in-his-foot-20120401-1w6h8.html

IT IS part of football lore that Robert Harvey jumped from a table to make sure he finally snapped a weakened and painful plantar fascia in a foot, so it could finally repair itself.

Three weeks ago, West Coast's Josh Kennedy did a variation on the same theme, jabbing up his foot with painkillers and running until the foot broke.

Yesterday, less than a month later, he booted seven goals in round one - the first competitive game he has played all year.

Read the article though - Kennedy got to the point where he needed to break his foot, numbed it up and did it, then kicked 7 goals in a match less than a month later.

Not according to the article.

I haven't followed Kennedy's injury history closely, so I don't recall any season-ending injury.

I hate the locker room - I only ever check the main board. Surely things like this can have their own thread instead of being shunted away on a board few venture to.

I agree. We have about 100 thread dedicated to criticizing Jack Watts which would all be condensed into one Jack Watts criticism thread so this one surely does deserve a thread of its own. I was just answering Mr Morton's question.

I was of the belief that when you post in a thread in the locker room it comes onto the main board, mine does this anyway, and the locker room is just a means of organising these threads on players to obtain them when needed.

I remember Harvey talking about this in an interview years ago, IIRC..

-Jumped off the table, think it was the morning of the match.. (or the morning before..) excruciating to do apparantly..

-numbed it up for the game and went on to play as usual.. against us too, again, IIFC..

-everyone was amazed.. etc..

Over to you Frawls.

He broke the tendon as did Harvey. Not the foot per se.

I don't agree. I like that we can discuss individual players and this way it is all in one place.

And it also should keep awful threads like that Jack Watts one off the main board - the mods should have moved that.

That story made me feel sick. The things footballers have to do sometimes!

Ha..

Sticks in your mind doesnt it..

He had a half dozen attempts too! (Like the guy from 127 hours, trying to get thru his arm bones..)

He broke the tendon as did Harvey. Not the foot per se.

Yeah.. i think its how monkeys swing from branches using their feet, the tendon kinda giving them 4 hands.. (maybe thats how some people get to be total w@nkers?)

Now we dont live in trees anymore its obsolete..

It's not possible for me to agree with you more wholeheartedly than I do about the 'Locker Room' sub-forum.

    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
