Injury List - Round 7

in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

From the HUN's Barometer

Mark Jamar (groin) TBC

Jack Watts (hamstring) TBC

Jack Grimes (collarbone) 4-8 weeks

Mitch Clark (foot) 5-6 weeks

ON THE CUSP- Finally, Chris Dawes should come in. The former Magpie will slot straight in at full-forward, which is great news given there is no Mitch Clark there. Neville Jetta will return from suspension. Expect to also see David Rodan in the mix.

    And rookie Nathan Stark for a couple of weeks.

    Did anyone see in todays Age from Doc Larkin that Mitch's foot injury is a "long term" injury. Would be interesting on what he is basing this observation. Everyone at the Club including Mitch himself who had a conversation with a Volunteer the other night, says that the operation went better than expected and it was doing very nicely.

    I think he would mean the recovery after getting back onto the track & playing. Just like an ACL operation (usually 12 months), but it still takes nearly another year to get back to full strength & resilience from the associated trauma to other areas of the invasive surgery, Hamstring Muscle or Patella Tendon...

    I think Clark will still be weakened around the injury site for some time, before he gets his foot back to 100%.

    Any news on long term injuries/ rookie promotions Jack ?

    This is the same Doc Larkin who during 2011 said Tom Scully's knee was stuffed and his career would be curtailed as a result?

    This isn't the case. The Lisfranc repair that Clarke had doesn't involve any musculotendinous structures. It's a bone to bone structural repair, specifically via metal fixation. Those metal fixateurs were creating localised irritation, which inhibited his ability to perform around the resultant pain. Thus, they were removed. The time needed now is to allow the hole left by the fixateurs to fill and consolidate (bone), by which time the irritation will have settled. This is standard stuff, sometimes happens, and in no way diminishes the integrity of the structure. He'll be back, and barring irritation related to scarring, which should be manageable anyway, be as good as new.

    No doubt Webber, but what I'm talking about is the surrounding areas, to the surgery.. when a player has had an injury or anyone, the body reacts to try to reduce the movement around the injury.

    IMO If a player continues, then they seem to often injure another area in trying to compensate & protect for the original injury.

    It's not I don't believe you but answer this question - If the lisfranc injury Clark had was a fracture/dislocation involving many bones moving from their original location how isn't there a lot of tendons and ligaments disrupted and how can we know they are healed until they are tested over the course of a full season or longer.

    To me the foot seems such a complex thing. Little bones and ligaments and tendons going everywhere and they all get 100+kg put on them running in a 1000 directions. That's why I'm skeptical of even the best Orthopods and Physio's providing guarantees.

    Clarke didn't fracture. That's important as it is a career killer. The tendons in the area are completely uninjured and unaffected. The ligaments are ruptured, which thus allows the dislocation. These heal and strengthen with the immobilisation. Yes, the foot is a complex structure, but in this case it is a structural requirement that is compromised, not mobility. Effectively the dislocation occurs at the keystone of the arch, hence it's importance. There is a bit of adaptive behaviour in the surrounding muscles/tendons, but not much. Much less than in an ankle reconstruction/stabilisation for example. Ongoing issues will come down to local irritations, which as I have said, should be minor.

    Forgot to say its 1, sometimes 2 metatarsal bones that dislocate, not 'many'.

    I heard on the radio that Jack Grimes is going to be put on the LTI but who knows what to believe on the radio these days?

    Yesterday, someone on SEN said Paul Roos was going to coach us.

    Go figure?

    I prefer the finger in the air WJ

    i find it way more accurate

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
