haha same

Add Fitzy and Seller to the mix and you have an all star line up

Fitzy form is much better than Sellars.

Id love to see Fitzy and Dawes in that forward line with Watts and Howe.

Magner to clear the ball and Kent to boot it long in there , with Gawny resting inside 50 as well.

    Not much point resting him , coming back and getting injury to worsen. Will he be ready to play in 8 weeks?

    If Fitzy is going to 'make it' his time is now....... What you say dosen't sound too bad DeeZee

    Knowing the MFC's luck recently surely nothing good can happen in 2013 ;)

    Kicking goals hasnt been our problem, its getting it out of the centre and inside fifty.

    Enter one James Magner.

    And then watch Neeld misuse him as a defensive half forward again!

    Isn't LTI 10 weeks minimum? As in if a player goes on LTI it is for a mandated 10 weeks at a minimum, then a rookie can be upgraded?

    I knew as soon as they said sprain in the same area as the lisfranc it was potentially bad news.

    In a way this is a good thing compared to what could've happened.

    The screw can be taken out and any scar tissue cleaned up. After a period of rest to whatever ligament is strained he might be well and truly healed.

    Obviously Mitch's year is now down the drain but he won't need off season surgery.

    It allows us to learn to play smarter footy. Also says to Dawes, Pedersen and Fitzpatrick please show us what you've got! Not to mention Magner must be upgraded.

    Other teams get early prognoses' of worse outcomes but they end up being 1-2 weeks, it always seems like for us what appears to be an innocuous injury turns into a serious one.

    Look at Lecras! He was meant to be out for ages and came back after 3 weeks!

    Back luck (again) big fella. Come back fit, healthy, and hungry!

    It's an 8 week minimum.

    Took a while to confirm it, but managed to do it through an article on Gawn:

    "The 208cm ruckman will be forced to stay on the LTI list for a minimum of eight weeks... The move gives the Demons the flexibility to promote a rookie if necessary"

    We can't catch a break. This season is one from hell.

    I thought that was last year? This is like Groundhog Day, but without the brilliant sarcasm of Bill Murray.

    Watts and dawes up forward won't be too bad, just hope the big fella is alright!

  • Quote

    Dawes still at least a week away you'd think.

    Gives Fitzy a chance to play for his AFL career at least.....

    Watts, Fitzpatrick and a resting Gawn/Jamar as our tall targets against Carltank.

    "Melbourne forward Mitch Clark will undergo minor surgery on his right foot, and will miss the next 6-8 weeks of football."

    http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-04-30/clark-to-miss-up-to-two-months

    Definitely not the best news!

    Not the best new, however, there are a few positives.

    • Mitch Clark will have the screw removed and play the last 8-10 games and have a FULL PRE SEASON at years end.
    • Magner or Couch can be elevated from the rookie list to provide much needed grunt in the middle, and maybe lift the clearance stats. (that is of course Clark can be put on the LTI list)
    • Jack Watts to play up forward. I know I will be shot down for this, however, Watts will have more help in the forward line..

    Thats my view on it all, I do not see this as doom and gloom.

    Don't fear. I've heard that Melbourne's doctors are considering a new experimental surgery where they will attempt to remove Mitch's heart and insert it into Jack Watts' chest as a temporary measure. They'll then place the heart in Mitch's chest again after 8-10 weeks. We'll be fine.

    Ahhh a Jack Watts joke... It used to be said "sarcasm is the lowest form of humour", but these days i think it's Watts jokes.

    Yeah nah, just takin' out the metal so the hole can be replaced with some bone growth (rather than bone growing over the fastener(s)).

    I actually thought that one was pretty good.

    Thinking of Magner or Couch:

    Possibility might have a better midfeild and Clark still being able to get a few games at the end of the season/full preseason:

    Get better soon Mitch!

    • 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.
