Can we slap a wig and some stilts on him and present him to Freo as Jesse.

We'd have to teach him to skip.

Yes Barry I can be precise, the session barely went for an hour, the usual routines, not much to report really. No Spencer, no Dawes, no Brayshaw, didn't see Trenners or ANB for that matter but I may have missed him. The Prince running laps. Some on the injured list were there, e.g. JKH looking fit and Vanders as well. Didn't notice Oscar either or Dunn but I am not great at picking up everyone on the field.

No idea what actually went down, however a photo of him him popped up on facebook in hospital after the game when went out with 'soreness' the following week. IIRC he had the full emergency department kit going on - ECG monitor etc. 

As an early guess might've have a busted/bruised ribs +/- lung injury, or a back injury which would explain the absence but not the quiet treatment from the club.

Pure speculation/Crazy brain ticking over here thinks possibly an undisclosed/undiagnosed medical condition might have popped up. The club possibly should get on the front foot and let people know what's going on, or perhaps not as well - he will be back when he's right.

Out for another 2 to 3 weeks according to reports through the week.

Was left out of the team due to "soreness" and now looks like missing at least 5 or 6 weeks.

There was a pic of him in hospital due to his ribs so definitely more than "soreness"

Poor bloke. He got injured at a really bad time. I imagine this team will be even harder to get into in a months time.

He could bolster the scorps in the meantime.

Tenuous segue/not sure where else to put this . . .

As mentioned in another thread, I took a historical tour of the Norwood Football Club during the week. One amusing anecdote to emerge concerned an interstate match between the Redlegs and a very fancied Carlton outfit in the mid-70s. The Legs' coach at the time had all their forwards switch jumpers right before the game and line up together at CHF - with the assumption that their opposition had only studied the numbers rather than footage. Norwood scored a 10-goal jump on the Blues by half-time

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
