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..

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
