has anybody else noticed the bullsh1t lies that the MFC continuously feeds us?

whether its injuries or excuses, it simply portrays a very weak club and im bloody over it.

but its the crap they sell us about injuries tgat drives me nuts.. im sure im not the only one who noticed Watts didnt play the majority of the last quarter.. so why wait til Thursday to tell us he hurt his hammy in Brisbane? it sounds exactly the same as Bryce Gibbs' hammy strain which they confirmed on Monday.

and Clarks "sprained foot"? clearly it wasnt a sptain and Clark would have known the club were lying too..

and then you have Vineys injury.. its his 2nd game and he cops a knock.. yet they selfishly play him for a few more games underdone and unfit clearly..

its all just a bit selfish and immature.. but maybe its just me..

Um maybe they don't want to always give the opposition a free ride.

Ok Viney cops a knock and is saw but can still play the next week, do you go and tell the other team?

As for Clark's foot there was obviously some soreness in there that they weren't completely sure what was going on, whats wrong with calling it a sprain? They told us he'd have further scans and see the specialist.

Now this Watts one is slightly disappointing. But maybe they were hoping it was only a very very minor strain and therefore wouldn't report it unless he was likely to miss time. But I'm not overly concerned about the club not giving us straight away details about a guy who is a fringe player lucky to get a game.

The club has every right to be selfish and give us an injury update each week with really good details about the players they do feel ready to comment on. Remember this is the players livelyhood and the AFL don't have strict mandated injury reporting rules like other sports.

Fairly sure they don't have an X-ray machine in the changerooms at the G.

Most injuries need to be tested out and aren't just black or white on Monday morning.

They don't have to tell us anything anyway.

....

Neelds press conference this morning said that Malthouse does not like surprises and he wanted to keep the Watts (2 weeks) injury under wraps until game day. Throw a spanner in the works maybe, any advantage is an advantage.

The screw in Clarks foot was removed as it was causing discomfort and would have affected his on field performance for the remainder of the year.

Viney... Come on, who is being immature now?

haha fair enough! thats why i was putting it out there! :P

but in ALL HONESTY.. Neeld saying he wants to keep Malthouse on his toes by giving him surprises.. thats a laugh. do you guys (and Neeld for that matter) HONESTLY believe Malthouse is worried about any players on our list having the ability to be a gamebreaker this week?

we could recruit J Selwood N Naitinui and T Hawkins this week and still get done by 12 goals.. simply because alart from Howe who can tear a game apart for 20mins we have no firepower.

its nice to be positive and i wish circumstances were different.. but dont hide behind a 12 goal qtr against GWS that saved embarassment.. cos 14/20 qtrs this year have been atrocious..

Malthouse probably wont even look at our teamsheet until hameday..

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
