Was very lucky not to break his leg or even worse. I'm taking the glass half full approach. Could've been a lot worse.

    Not ideal but a sprain will quickly mend. No fracture or break is a positive. Should be good for early rounds.

    Not if by "high sprain" they mean Grade 2 or 3. Looked like a Grade 2 to me, thus the 426.

    "High ankle sprain" refers to a syndesmosis strain, which connects the tib and fib together. 6 weeks is standard for a stable syndesmosis injury as opposed to an unstable injury which requires surgery and months of rehab.

    You can shove Etihad where the sun don't shine.

    I'd like to know how many leg injuries we have received at that S**t hole.

    Based on injuries per game it would be quite an interesting statistic IMO.

    I am feeling that they are taking a VERY precautious approach to this injury. I'd say if we were playing finals, it may only be a 2 weeker...

    I'd say he is a fair chance for round 1.

    Just my opinion......

    Injuries like this will happen all season long....It's going to happen at all clubs

    The good thing is he may only miss 2 proper games...

    Very intersting Wreck, thanks. Given your knowledge can you advise if Blease, with that injury, will still be able to maintain his base fitness (by doing non weight bearing training such as bikes and swimming)?

    If only this was the NFL we'd just find him a monster ankle brace and send him out there like Ben Rothlisberger did.

    I hope he's back soon but when he's healthy and I like to think all injuries are partly avoidable and this one could of been helped by more talk to let Blease know he was about to get crunched. At least it came from a loose ball not a hospital hand pass.

    Spot on Boss dog but if you do the comparison on Petrol it was way cheaper than it is today.

    I can still remember the week I cleared $100 / week I thought I was set for life.

    Interesting that if you compare the cost of cars and petrol in the 70's

    Cars are much cheaper ( and Better ) now but Petrol is much more expensive.

    This will take you back OD - do you remember Nepean Hwy after mordialloc having 3 lanes - one lane in one direction and one in the other. The middle lane could be used to overtake by EITHER traffic direction as long as no cars were coming !!!!!! We used to call it the "suicide lane". I tell people this story and they dont believe me.

    Love that movie! Saw it after watching "Death Proof".

    Anyway Blease has a 4-6 week injury. So I suppose we'll see him ready to play around July...?

    Doesn't 4-6 weeks indicate a strike under the illicit drug policy? Joking btw

    Yes I do mate.

    Do you remember the traffic lights having big circles on top showing how long the cycle was before green changed to yellow etc.

    God I am old!

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
