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?

    It's in the James Frawley topic in the Locker Room

    good point looking for similar threads would have paid off!!!

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    You paint a very ugly picture there Jose

    edit- can you play on after breaking it? or was that his season ending injury?

    say he kicked goals after it? i dont quite follow, anyone?

    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 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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
