I am getting some bad karma about all this. Fingers crossed I suppose but I am mindful of the worst case scenarios that we always seem to have to deal with at this club.

Pavlov could have a field day with MFC supporters and conditioned responses ;-)

Why are you surprised he may not be 'happy'? He wants to get out and play football, he sees his cohorts playing every week, and all he can probably feel is debilitating back pain and limited movement.

Back pain is notorious to fix. On top of that there may be some social stigma that it's not 'real', even though it can be one of the mpost severe pains you can experience (maybe short of kidney or gall stones).

I damaged my back with a pulled muscle last year doing something as simple bending over to do up a shoe lace. It took six weeks (aided by Dr Voltaren) just to get over that. The pain was excruciating, every move hurt, and I was just trying to walk and sit without agony, let alone run or play football.

Could be why you were touted as a top 10 pick but slipped down to pick 124

Not sure what would make GWS want to give away a former number 1 pick in Patton, one they have put 3 years into developing.

Unless he suffers another serious injury, in which case - why would we want to go near him?

To have the best forward line on paper?

That's why I asked about Patton's contractual status. GWS won't trade him. We'd need to lure Patton back to Melbourne with money and 'a return home', but only once his contract is up.

Originally with Tempy and Gorya to become Tempy-Goyra-Patchewollock (try chanting that), or 'TGP' for short, then became Ouyen United a few years ago after TGP merged with Ouyen Rovers.

Don't even think about rushing a back injury to quickly.

Let him heal slow.

Frustrating Yep...But the only way.

Every bit of work the body does is connected through the back.

Now no one has any idea. Write this season off get him right for 2015 pre season. Why do these serious injuries happen to our potential great players. Why cant it happen to our lesser skilled players.

If it happened to our "lesser skilled" players we would struggle to field a team!

Patchewollock ???? Pride of the northwest ! Close to Speed and Tempy not to mention Walpeup.

Bartram, Clark, Jurrah all had premature ends to career. Now things not looking good for Hogan and Trengove. FmL

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
