    Adelaide injury list

    This site suggests it's a broken leg in R15 this year. Cute of the MFC presser to ignore that and talk about his broken arm early in the season.

    Cute...

    Why not mention it Matt? It will take the pressure off the kid when he gets bombarded on twitter about why he isn't training, where is he, etc.

    Just mention he is still recovering from a broken leg.

    And I hope we gave him a 2+ year contract - 2014 is as good as done unless he can get a decent amount of pre season into his legs, one of which is broken...

    Though none with a more frightened face Bitty. Or maybe not......

    Very much in the style of Sloane. Similar height and weight. Ferocious attack on the footy. All good from me.

    I wonder if that was him I noticed in the Pre Season footage in the website I couldn't recognize..??

    Are we sure he's still recovering from a broken leg?

    I thought I saw him a couple of times in the footage of preseason training on the club website today.

    I did my tib and fib many years ago, I was in plaster for 6 months, it was a spiral fracture, pretty nasty, they pin them nowadays.

    Still haven't included him in the team photos on the MFC site. Should be updated soon with the new draftees.

    I spoke to him at training and took his photo, it's on my twitter, his recovery is where it should be, he was leaving to do off legs work with Dean Kent, no limp, no strapping

    I would be more interested in training photos posted on this site than twitter; I can't understand the fascination of people trying to build up a twitter following.

    I guess it's some sort of ego stroking.

    Interesting looking at your twitter you seem to try and interact with the players with the thousand of times you talk to them, not one of them ever reply back to you...?

    Does anyone know if this bloke will be right to go round 1. I like what I've seen of him.

    I'd say a significant ankle injury in round 15 would mean that whilst he would be fit to play in round 1 he probably wont be at his best until much later. With only 2 nab challenge games and both on them coming early in the year and a delayed start to VFL I wouldn't expect to see him until round 5 or after.

    Gee some of the posters on here really have some issues, you do need to get out from behind the keyboard

    I don't tweet to get replies, they only reply amongst themselves, opens the door for trolls, why they don't come on here as well.........I get acknowledgement when I talk to them or they favourite it.....not really bothered, put the photos there for anyone that is interested

    Hence why I spoke to Aidan and took his photo, asked him about his leg, like I do with all the players, if you don't want to read it then don't

    One reason may be that it is a simple matter of uploading an image to Twitter. To show photos here requires a Tumblr (for example) or similar account to which you upload images and then link to them from here. So, it may just be he posts to twitter for convenience sake.

    Twitter is far from ego stroking as the only people who see your posts are those who follow you. Personally, I like twitter as a great source of information as many journos, people with links to the arts etc have accounts and post links to breaking news, events etc.

    • 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.
