The continuing saga of Melbourne's injury list - 2014


alpha33

Recommended Posts

Seems like the medical staff are so cautious these days that, if the guy has a runny nose, he's put on ice as a precautionary measure, and told to rest for "two to three". Have to wonder if they've taken it just a tad too far...

were probably shooting for priority pick.....getting in early

once we get rid of that scoreboard it'll be a doddle

Heard Dawes will be at least 3 weeks. Continued pain after any form of exercise. Maybe we need to recruit another key forward in this years draft.

Maybe!

I would say certainly

Not another tanking inquisition.

Well it has all the signs Redleg

Playing players out of position

Players out for a week that turns into months

Three KPF' s kept on the side lines for weeks

Playing Pedersen and Byrnes continuously

Missing shots at goal from thirty metres out

Losing to St Kilda when every scribe in the land thought we should win.

Need I go on

Tanking for sure.

Wow I feel much better knowing we are not really trying this year.

Who is the best bet for pick no.1?

When will the MFC ever get a break???

We recruit 2 kpp pay $$$ ... Can't get them on the park!

Trade our early picks for Hogan ... Can't get him on the park!

We are Jinxed!

It does tend to look that way

I'd be lying if I said the key forward situation wasn't seriously starting to grate on me. I'm trying to be patient, trying very bloody hard, but it's just ridiculous the luck we've had.

At this stage, I'm leaning towards Dawes being a mistake.

So damn filthy at our luck with these guys. So much promise, sitting in the stands, or not even that.

End rant. Sorry fellas. Had a gutful atm. I think Saturday is still burning in my gut.

Tension Myositis Syndrome - that's whats causing both Dawes and Hogans issues. Always is, when, as Misso puts it... there are "symptoms" without a cause.

Unfortunately it's not accepted by traditional medicine and therefore they have to keep trying to fix what isn't broken.

Frustrating.

You are not alone P-man

Dawes could well become an enduring symbol of the Neeld era!

Geez it's bloody hard as a paid up member to hear this injury khrap every doom and gloom year.

Gutful of this with so called elite bloody athletes.

Gutful of club feeding members supporters garbage reports. Just tell the bloody truth.

In a very time crucial period for this club we have a non existent forward line, WTF is going on?

The Eagles can manage to keep all their talls on the park, WTF is this club doing so bad with its fitness program?

Patience is totally screwed with this.

From what Roos said in his pressor Gawn will be back, TMac out(won't come up from injury), Fitz to stay in and Viney another wk in the reserves.

Will c what happens at selection.

One things for sure I am not bothering with Missons reports, they r a waste of space.

Dawes is the only one I am confident we will see on the park any time soon of the trio we expected to be our star trio.

As such it's hard to call him a bust.

Clark as we all know is on the LTI, and Hogan...well, it's just 'us' - NSC strikes again!

It's going to be another very long year.

He's not a gamebreaker in any case. At his best he only scored 30 goals in a year. If he gets on the park it will give us a big target but he ain't no Mitch Clark that could kick65-70 in a season.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
