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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
