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

    You mean he isn't going to coach us?

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
