I think this is his fifth week missing now for what started as a one week injury.

Does anyone know anything about his injury?

Please dont tell me its his foot, his back, a broken leg or its career threatening.

The silence around it all is stating to concern me.

    Had a set back trying to prove his fitness.

    He's very keen to get back out there ...

    Thanks Harcourt, I bet he's keen to get back out there, he was putting some good games together.

    In a moon boot the last few weeks for precaution, not going to rush him now - no point.

    He injured his ankle earlier on in the year, i believe he missed one game, and re-injured it and is worse than was first thought.

    Will not play again this year but should not be an ongoing problem.

    Maybe he has been doing a lot of extra weights this year and is continuing to do so to build up his size. When it comes time for the start of pre season he will be ready to start working with his new frame rather than trying to build it over pre season.

    Maybe a vision of putting him forward again next season.

    His injuring is taking longer to heal than expected.

    I heard someone or the radio (no idea who) say that they are in no rush to bring him back because he has already exceeded all expectations for this season and they don't see a great deal of value in pushing him to get back on the field for a dead rubber. He has nothing left to prove this season, so they are focusing on some of the other players who maybe need to show that they can play before the end of the season.

    Any further updates on Jack? Is he still alive? Anyone seen him lately?

    An hour or so ago on the radio they said he is expected to come back into the side this week...

    • 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.
