I am more relaxed now. The scans are complete and waiting for the specialist to review the films but correct if I am wrong (webber - this is your area of expertise) - I would have thought the club medico's would have looked at them and if it was something season ending they would have noticed it already ? You would think that they wouldn't be filtering out the message of "minor" if the scans didn't look reasonable.

    Unsurprising, there are definitely players that masquerade as the good guys of the game, but would happily down the opposition's gun players at the earliest opportunity.

    Never forget Hodge on Wingard. Hasn't stopped the boys-club media from gushing over the guy at every opportunity, naturally.

    the hypocrisy is that if Jack Viney does something similar we all just get stuck into saying what a legend he is

    Seems a reasonable assumption to me nutbean.

    Just watched it again. I didn't notice it initially but it is quite a deliberate attempt to jump on him isn't it. Crude at the least.

    Very deliberate and not simply accidental. Dog act for mine

    Both easy to clinically diagnose so it ain't either, although the drive of the knee into the ground is classic PCL injury mechanism. All impatient armchair speculation really, I'm sure he'll be fine with a scope and a couple of weeks on the bike ?

    thanks Webber,  thats why I mentioned it,  & to pass it by pickets nose,,,  but I don't understand the techniques of diagnosis for it,  or difficulty.

    Pretty sure it was Hartlett later in the game who dragged Tyson backwards while he was on his knees, causing him to grab his knee & have to go off for a while. Again, a deliberate & unnecessary movement that could have caused a serious injury (or aggravated an existing one, given Tyson's history of knee injuries) by hyperflexing the knee. Have to keep a closer eye on Hartlett. As Nutbeam pointed out originally, this sort of thing doesn't get the attention that sling tackles do, but could involve just as much risk of serious injury.

    I am sure that players want to tackle hard to knock the stuffing out of the opponent and take them out of the contest

    I am not sure any of these tackles are deliberately aimed to cause injury.

    With the breakneck pace of our game I also think it is a split second thing without malicious intent and tackles go horribly wrong.

    ( the days of a Grinter lining up a player to elbow his front teeth out or send him into the grandstand are gone in my opinion )

    Sounds like almost best case scenario. 

    Casey practice game in 3 weeks time in to round 1 in 4 weeks time still possible. If not, then he misses a round or two.

    Correct but there are rules against driving players into the ground. I have watched it a number of times now and Hartlett jumped off the ground and into Brayshaw's back, driving him into the ground. He also pinned Brayshaw's right arm, as he took him down, with his weight on Brayshaw's back. Could easily have knocked Brayshaw out, if he landed head first, or led to a neck or collarbone injury.

    I thought it was worse than the Oliver incident.

    Then again I am only a whinging Dees supporter, who in the past has been outraged at a broken jaw suffered by Sylvia, off the ball and yet the Eagle player responsible walked free.

    agreed, it was an extremely dangerous tackle, and Brayshaw is lucky he didn't get far more seriously injured, i am baffled that it wasn't looked at, especially after Oliver's was

    Confirmed, low grade strain. 4 weeks.

    About as good a news as we could hope for, out for the rest of the Whogivesas*** Challenge and to be honest I would very comfortable with the club waiting until Round 2 before he returns just to make sure he's cherry ripe. The kid's a key figure in our future, if there is any lingering doubt just take it easy with him. I can picture him not being happy about that prospect though!

    A bit of luck to kick off a season.  That's nice for a change! 

    Telling when you consider a 4 week injury as 'luck' as the season commences.

    Such has been our reality...

    My thoughts exactly. I might consider it luck when Gus is actually back out on the field in 4 weeks, but till then I won't hold my breath.

    • 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.

      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.
