    Yes I do feel I would like a scan, however, the club medics will have a certain amount of equipment to assess the injury. They may have their own ultrasound equipment or something like that which could provide information. Yes in the past the club has had some issues with injuries - whether theyre mis-management issues is probably only known by the club - we can make assumptions. This is a new batch of medics since those days, they are professionals, they work with Paul Roos,  Im sure he and they know what they need to do. If he needs a scan he will get one.

    There's always an increased risk of hamstring related issues, but in the case of high hamstring like Kent's, ironically less so. Max Gawn is way past any issues with his reconstructed ACL. If he did it again, it would be a circumstance that would rupture an original ACL, or as close to it as doesn't matter. You have to remember binman, that any injury suffered by any player makes that area less than perfect, and in theory more at risk. No player is immune, and mostly it's situations beyond control, substantially inherited (genes). Think Geelong's Menzel vs. Michael Tuck.

    Ta Webber. 

    Inherited injury risks is an interesting one. I wonder how long it will be before professional football clubs (gridiron, AFL, soccer etc) start exploring using family injury history and even DNA testing as part of their recruiting tools. 

    I seem to remember some talk of TheOx having genetically poor collagen which contributed to his initial injury, and his second recurrence.

    You are not alone. I fully expect it to be announced that he will miss half the season, if not more.

    If that is the case, we still got more out of him on the park this year than Richmond did with Yarran

    That he won't be back until 2018 and by that time Hogan will be playing for Fremantle and Goodwin will be sacked?

    You left out Petracca retiring to pursue a basketball career.

    Toumpas' Brownlow will really hurt as well.

    although controversial, Viney was feeding him the ball the whole time!

    I don't think,  a comment saying 'it doesn't require a scan',  says that,  a precautionary scan won't be carried out.

    I think the statement is meant to convey there is little to worry about.  & Not,  that any requirements,  will not be done.

     

    I always thought some sort of scan would be done as he was on crutches,  just as a checkup.

    I'm calling it. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on here. Read my lips "Will never happen."

    • 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.
