MFC injury list - 2015


Chelly

Recommended Posts

Interesting we have gone from 12 players injured around about round 4 through to round 16 or so when we dropped down to 6 injured for a short while, then it is now back to 9.

Biggest issue I feel is not just players out per se, but the lack of team stability. Even given the players available, the constant changes in personnel are not helping.

Doesn't help the players either. Fitzpatrick and Toumpas (OK, OK) have both been in and out of Casey - whatever they might become, neither we nor they are going to find out if they can't string a decent run of matches together.

Bing I have said earlier we have played at around 60% of our potential man power all year as many of the injured this year would be rated top 25 on our list. But I am not sure basic man power available explains some of our lame performances this year.

However if we had an injury free year in 2016 things could look up very quickly assuming the entire list undergoes psychotherapy pre season.

i believe lobotomies all round have been scheduled post season to avoid players over thinking. this should simplify their decision making by ensuring the first option is the only option

hard not to think otherwise, od

but then i'm just a veil of negativity

Well it is good dc that we are now realising it.

Perhaps we should review all our comments over the last two weeks that we think could possibly have de motivated the players and deleted them.

Would that help do you think?

Nah bull s-it.

Why put a player on an injury list if they are "available"?

I've never understood this.

Because he was out injured this week but is now available.

I think it is so that payers don't just drop off the list and then everyone asks questions.

Then how come that has not been done with Frost.

He has disappeared from view. 2-3 weeks on one report then nothing.

Missing without a trace

I have thought Josh Caddy and Mitch Duncan are grossly overrated, especially Caddy. He looks like Tarzan and his impact and decision-making in big games is average.

Kelly is over the hill.

Lincoln who?

Rivers has been playing on one knee since his Melbourne days.

The only player that would genuinely impact them is Stanley, who with Blicavs, has become part of the new age unpredictable quick ruck set up of the AFL.

Our injury list is chalk and cheese. Petracca, Frost, Kent would give us so much of what we need.

Hey i didn't say the system was perfect!

But that extra information does allow us to differentiate between a player who leaves the list and is now available and a player like frost.

TGR I highlighted the MFC players on the list, that was my point. (3 exMFC all injured)

I agree with your analysis though.

Does anyone have the faintest idea what the problem is with Frost's toe?

He has been 2 -3 weeks now for 4 months.

Do we have another Clark / Trengove problem here?

From GRRM Training report -Absent: Trengove, Lumumba, Vanders, Bail, Frost, Kent, Fitzpatrick, Howe, Hunt

What is the story with Frost? Not injured & not training?

Frost? Not injured, not playing, not eligible for VFL finals? I was looking forward to see how he would go this year, big and fast but injured for all but the first few games.

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Fremantle

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
