INJURY LIST - ROUND 5 - aka the Dave Misson Appreciation thread



Recommended Posts

Posted

Doc Larkins is the WebMD of footy people.

I'm so sick of hearing about "subluxations" and "contusions".

What's wrong with the more widely-known "dislocations" and "bruises"?

We desperately need a long term injury to get Magner on the playing list. I think he is must option for the mid field for matches coming up. He and jordie are needed to stem the carnage when we face the top sides. I don't want Mitch to be the out please.

The subluxation is a partial dislocation, out a bit then back in again. It's not the full monty.

Yeh I know, because each time he says it, he feels compelled to explain it again!

With Clark and Dawes possibly both coming back through the VFL at the same time, and Hogan thumping along at Casey too...

Best 2s level forward line ever?

I say we shave his hair and tan him up and try to pass Hogan as Dawes for this week.

They'll never know, and if they find out, lets just say we had 'never formally employed or had direct contact with the beautician who undertook this makeover'. It'll be fine.

you know Larkins works with the bulldogs and essendon doctor and the former Melbourne doctor.

And you know a lisfranc is a mid foot fracture dislocation and clark has a midfoot strain. It's like the compare the market and compare the meerkat ad. Simples

Larkins' credibility took a bit of a nosedive when he declared two years ago that Tom Scully's knee injury was potentially career threatening and one which would severely restrict him for the remainder of his time in the game. On what I saw last Sunday that doesn't appear to be the case but of course, I'm not a medico.

Perhaps we should be asking Dr. Turf who seems just as qualified and a Demon fan as well.

Mainly because a subluxation ain't a dislocation. It is just a little bit of a one.

Nonetheless, it would be nice not to have to whip out the dictionary every time a person does an injury report.

Re Stark, saw him at Windy Hill last week, he is over his injury just gave him the week off playing, then back at full tilt training, he explained.....young guy, rookie, still building him, no rush......alwyas on the side of caution.....Barry was the same.........why we only have 2 on the injury list

I hate to cast a cloud over a generally positive thread (that's my bitter half) but does it not worry anyone that, despite one of the best injury free starts to a season ( and therefore fielding almost best sides) that we have copped three massive floggings?

Only you by the looks of it, follow the Club mantra, it will take time and the last place you will see the improvement is on the field.....this is a post about Misson and how his bit seems to be working

We have basically a two person injury list and yet I'd give anything to have Dawes and Clark available to play. Does that say something about human nature? Are we that hard to satisfy?

If that is the case for the first time ever I will choose watching Casey over Melbourne

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
