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

    Dawes: He's a professional footballer, I'm sure the last thing he wants is to spend his time watching his teammates take the field without him.

    Frustrating for all concerned.

    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!

    So what IS the code for "50/50"?

    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!

    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.

    No key forwards for the next 3 weeks, losses to GWS, Carlton and Gold Coast are certain. 0-5, great way to start the year.

  • Quote

    Can we bring back the Ox?

    Even with his knees he would be worth putting him in the forward line.

    Listening to Missons injury report is like listening to a politician during election time

    We all know pollies are full of [censored]!!

    and to start another coach's tenure

    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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
