Damn our injury list is long and i just saw that melbourne was 2nd behind essendon in weeks missed due to soft tissue injury with it being 41 weeks. Essendon was first with 47, while north only had 1.

Our injury list is rudiculous every year and i was hoping Misson would help us on this aspect but obviously looking at those stats he isnt as effective as i had hoped.

    I don't think you can place blame for the injuries we've been seeing. It's not like we've had a lot of hamstrings. They have all been impact injuries and/or rotten luck. How many weeks have we lost to ankles? Multiple players out with back problems. ACL to Bennell now as well. None of this is a conditioning issue, it's all just rotten luck. Looking on the bright side though, it would be amazing if we had another season like this in the near future.

    The stats show that we have missed 41 weeks with soft tissue injuries.

    So.... what qualifies as a sort tissue injury?

    I would guess that Bones are hard tissue and everything else is soft. Therefore the multiple ankles and backs count, plus Jamar's calf and now Bennell's knee. I'd be interested to know what the official definition is though.

    Its better this season than a future one where we can actually get up and win some games.

    • 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.
