Someone normally pops up a thread about this each week so I figured I'd post it.

 

Thanks Rogue.

'Indefinite' irks me more than the '4-6 weeks'. Taggert's injury is frustrating me more so than any other listed.

 

Can someone clarify the actual meaning of indefinite?

Does that mean that there is a good chance that the injury is for life?

How can they not be sure how far away it is?

Probably because its a suck it and see thing dealing with backs..

By definition, it is "not definite".

They simply can't put a timeframe on it.

Well, as Misson said in the injury update video, as can sometimes happen with a back injury like Taggert's on one side, you can over-compensate for the injury and overload the other side.

This is what he has done.

So basically there's a stress reaction that they were looking out for.

It has occurred and they're not sure how long it will take to rectify it.

Like Grimes, it will probably involved learning how to run again, but with a different gait and engaging different muscles.

Gysberts is the one I'd like to see playing at some level out of the non-test players.

Is Jack Viney out for the same 2-4 does anyone know?

 

Gysberts, Jurrah and even Jetta should all be holding their spots in the best 22 :(

I emailed the club asking why Jetta's injury was indefinite and why they were unable to put a return date. I got nothing back! Funnily enough, I wasn't surprised. I'm not sure what that means, if anything.


Sounds like Jetta and Evans are not far off running so may see them late in the year

I bumped into Nev Senior at an amateurs game last Saturday (another son Rodney was playing). He told me Nev was on the improve and he expected him to be back at Casey in 3 - 4 weeks if all goes well.

It's been really tough on him because I really had a feeling that he might do well under Neeld's coaching if only he could get his body right.

I really hope Nev gets some games later in the season. I'm another who thinks that he and Neeld are a match made in heaven. I would think that Neeld would love the way he plays and he should thrive on Neelds gameplan. I just hope he can get on the park and show the coaches what he can do before they decide to cut him on general principles.

I've always liked the honest way Nev plays his game, unfashionable of late,,, but a solid work style & reads the ball well.

I think he'll go well in our contested ball style.

When he got this injury I thought that was the last we would see of Jetta

However we can only drop about 8 at the end of 2012 and there are a number who are playing who have put their hand up for delisting over the last two months.

Nev might get another year after all.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
