And hello to the world of diagnostic overservicing. The 'better to be safe than sorry' mania for diagnostic imaging is one of the main reasons our Public Health Service is struggling, all driven by th

Personally I think that every player who has the slightest ache after a game should immediately go in for a full body CT and MRI scan.  And anyone sent off for the blood rule should have a top-up tran

Unlikely to be more, but could be less. It's not an injury that comes with inherent risk to further damage, so will depend on how irritable and sore it is to running with lateral movement. Hopefully l

Awaiting a specialist who is overseas to look at the scans.

believe it's better to wait a couple of days and get the best to diagnose it opposed to another giving their diagnoses sooner.

426 is code for Nick Smith isn't it?  It used to be on 'ology anyway.

I think it was his 2005 year when he earnt that nickname. Missed 15 straight games with a knee and was listed as 4-6 the entire time.

Possibly just me but  seems two sets of rules going around.  If it happens TO a Melb player... "play on"  ..nothing to see here...BY a Melb player....  hotline to the MRP !!

Harlett leaves the ground to accentuate the tackle and thumping into the ground.  I recall somewhere this is frowned upon... Result.. Brayshaw buggers knee... game goes on.

Ollie lays a fair and legal tackle.. "without leaving the ground" ...opponent has hands free...and cops a fine

Why hasn't the Port player been cited here ??

No but he is considered the best. And if you trust his jedgement then you would wait for his opinion. Simples.

No but he's the only one the AFL clubs trust. Kind of silly. But they've picked their man so they stay with him.

Sounds like more than just a straight medial strain, but still not huge damage. Best case scenario is round 1 after conservative management. Worst case (given nothing else goes wrong) he might need a clean out and have to miss a few early rounds. In which case the long term prognosis might not be great if he has to have too much cartilage shaved off. Then again, get him in the stem cell trial and it will heal up fine.

Yes, I too looked at that tackle, seemed very deliberate, almost as if under instruction how to execute the second part of the tackle with holding on to, while off the ground,

B until he dropped.

I think citing Harlett for his tackle is a bit of a billy stretch.

The MRP is cracking down on slinging - arms free or not - BUT I think they have shifted the goal posts as part of the deal has always been slinging AND  the arms are pinned AND two motions - I don't think the Oliver tackles meets the arms pinned or two motions. I am not surprised the AFL is cracking down on slinging in general as it is hard to control - and even if arms are free the whipping nature of the tackle means a risk of head injury even with the arms free as  the player being tackled may not be able to brace. It would just help if it was clear to all that this is how they were going to adjudicate before they started penalising ( maybe they have told the clubs and we don't know ?)  

On a side note - I typed in NRL dangerous throw - and look at this link - http://www.nrl.com/nrl-judiciary-code--dangerous-throw/tabid/10959/contentid/735083/default.aspx

Wow - NRL for the supporters - they explain the rule and give video examples to highlight what is a dangerous throw.  That is how it is done AFL - wake up to yourselves.

And Oliver's appears to be the only incident looked at.

No melee occurred at another game?

Protected species perhaps.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
