The continuing saga of Melbourne's injury list - 2014

Featured Replies

 

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

Not another tanking inquisition.

 

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!

It does tend to look that way

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

Will play next wk!!!!

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.

Do you mean "not see" DA

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.

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.

  • 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.
