You know what I want? Just some luck. That'd be nice.

As a physiotherapist, a lot of the assumptions and assumed knowledge on here are frankly garbage. The reality is that soft tissue injuries do not present as a perfect formula. At best we give a framew

I called it in 2011.

I hope his foot is the problem.

Why did you say it was his achilles?

Assumption?

Anyway, I recall him not being fast, but he did have enough speed to not only contribute, but to take games by the scruff of the neck.

I recall a big mark late in the game agains Adelaide. Possibly the same one where he was suspended for a vicious but fair tackle on Dangerfield.

Clearly even Trengove feels like he's not been able to do what he used to, judging by his comments, and the problem has gone back 18 months, judging by Roos' comments.

Official injury list for round 6

Dom Barry (calf) test

Jack Fitzpatrick (ill) available

Jesse Hogan (back) 4 weeks

Dean Kent (calf) 1 week

Viv Michie (jaw) 2 weeks

Luke Tapscott (hamstring) available

Jack Trengove (foot) season

No mention of Jimmy T who was going gangbusters on Sunday at Casey until he received a knock in the second quarter. I have him down as favourite for this week's mystery injury of the week.

The weeks are going by slowly for Jesse Hogan.

No Maxy? Be great to see him tear it up at Casey this week and get himself back into the ones ASAP.

unbelievable the amount of avoidable injuries we have had the last few years and how they have been left to get worse over time

when will our fitness staff be held accountable?

Unbelievable that anyone can be so certain how many were 'avoidable'. Stuff happens. It just hurts more when you have no depth.

A great initiative by Roos to start sending players off now for post season operations, having them ready in time for the 2015 preseason, rather than waiting until Round 18 when all other clubs who won't make the finals do it.

Less questions will be asked about our "list management", which in turn should see us net Pick 1 in the draft, a priority pick for poor performance, and no sign of a $500k fine for doing so.

The man is a genius.

Yeah we should be playing the game in an anti-gravity non-contact environment to prevent all those "avoidable" injuries with things like other players or the ground...

Alright Dr Hogan - you believe in accountability from the medical/fitness staff ? I'm glad you value accountability so highly.

Please be accountable for your posts and list the avoidable injuries over the last fews years and exactly how they were left to get worse over time.

I find the continuous bashing of our medical/fitness staff absolutely perplexing. Unless you are embedded in the club and privy to the treatments and actions of the staff (and players) you have nothing to base your assumptions on.

Here's the injury list from this article on the club's site - Frawley 50/50 for clash against Bulldogs

Melbourne injury list: round eight

James Frawley (toe) test

Jesse Hogan (back) indefinite

James Harmes (lung) 1 week

Max King (shin) 4-6 weeks

Viv Michie (jaw) available

Jake Spencer (ankle) 3 weeks

Jack Trengove (foot) season

Jack Watts (back) test

Good to see Viv Michie back after that broken jaw but what happened to Jake Spencer (last week - test)? That ankle has turned into a 5 week injury given he's now missed a couple.

Then you can add Jack Viney (crucifixion) 2 weeks and Dean Kent is also facing the VFL Tribunal for an alleged offense from last Sunday.

The latest Melbourne injury list doesn't give us any cause for optimism about Jesse Hogan in the short term at least but it appears that a Jack Fitzpatrick has been spared major injury in the Casey game. Hogan comes back from a visit home and hopefully, we'll see some progress on his return. Here's the list from the club's site:

Injury list Round 9

Jack Fitzpatrick (ankle) test

James Frawley (toe/hamstring) test

Jesse Hogan (back) indefinite

Max King (leg) 3-4 weeks

Jake Spencer (ankle) 3-4 weeks

Dean Terlich (concussion) test

Jack Trengove (foot) season

Dean Kent should also return this week after serving a week's suspension in the VFL.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
