We did a very hard pre season...

The injury list was down last season and has jumped up this year. Good luck/good planing..bad luck/bad planning?

When you start to add up the soft tissue/overuse type injuries then maybe you need to look at the training methods.

Contact:
Tyson
JKH
Wagner
Joel Smith
Vince
??? Hibberd - reported someone stepped on his heel
Garland - not sure if it was contact but ACL's are kind of freak leg meets ground and buckles injuries a lot

Soft tissue:
Garlett
Gawn
McKenna
Hulett

Stress injuries:
Frost
Vanders
Kent


I'd say bad luck at this stage. To have 3 important players miss time due to stress injuries isn't great but at the same time they seem like 3 injury prone guys and it's hard to avoid that. A couple of young guys doing soft tissues isn't great but it happens. Gawn's really the big injury of the season so far and it's a shame his back tightened up and probably had a role in the hamstring injury. So it's really worth questioning the management there.

Nervous anticipation upon seeing the thread title. Relief upon reading the news. Guilt upon feeling relief. Finally arrive at sympathy for the player involved.

He'll play round 5, but obviously Jones doesn't want to discuss the health of his Father, which is obviously a concern to Jesse. That's the extent that needs to be read into it.

Devastating blow, but Spencer will be a solid replacement IMO. He's been waiting for this chance for a long time and his endeavour and aggression can't be knocked.

#penciltime is now trending on twitter.

I take solace in the development of Stefan Martin at Brisbane. For a season and a half after we traded him he could not get a game until Leunberger got injured and has not looked back.

I don't think The Dees will risk him again this year! Spencil and King to front up!

what?? what on earth would make you think that? If its 12 weeks then he would be back with like 7 rounds to go... maybe if there was only 1/2 rounds to go and we were out of contention they wouldnt risk it but with 7 left he will play.

Jake will step up and Pedo as well but they will never give us the edge that Max provides. In my opinion our best and most critical player. Sigh!!!!

I am basing my case on some experience in these matters.I was a Phys Ed teacher with a Sports Exercise and Science background. All I'm saying Is that depending on the severity of the tendon tear be it grade 1,2 or 3 will have a large bearing on his recovery. I may be conservative with my esttimation and I don't know the specifics of the injury but a hamstring insertion/origin tendon tear is a bad injury, especially for a big man, given the action of the biomechanical movements and pressure on that muscle tendon group. Happy if any Phsios or Docs that are posters want to varify or offer alternative views.

Let just hope the surgery goes well and he is back playing sooner than later!

Jason Johanissen came back from a similar injury last year and won the Norm Smith....he'll be back if we are in with a chance of finals for sure

Nick Riewoldt did it in 2010 - played off in two Grand Finals that year!

Yeah I think especially for someone his size and the player that jumps more then any other position I'm worried that he might need longer.

Great interview by Max on thclub website. Max at his dry best...

Confirming his surgery tomorrow: "I have to fast from midnight, which I'm not happy about. I'll have a big meal at 11.59"

On being asked if Jack Watts was pumping himself up after rucking out the game: "With 9 hit outs? I wouldn't think so!"

Gawn getting injured was a fairly high possibility, given his past history of two knee reconstructions and his past hamstring injuries. The club could perhaps have prepared better for this contingency. Let's hope Spencer can back up his form in the preseason competition. Also, we do now have some good midfielders who can shark the opposition ruck's taps if they set up well. All is not lost for this season. Another high quality tall ruck man wouldn't go astray in the drafting/trading for the future though!

Terrible devastating news for a player who was set for another huge year, and is really a very unique player who will be really hard to cover. 

Having said that, Spencer is an adequate centre square ruckman, and he has a golden opportunity to actually kick start his career. It's now or never for him, and from all reports, he is in good shape, and has had a good pre-season hitout. 

I believe our midfield is good enough to deal with this loss, it's the stuff Max does around the ground that is going to be difficult to cover.

It poses the question of how hard do we try to  keep spencer at the end of the year doesnt it.  We'd in BIG trouble without him on our list,

My biggest worry is Spencer gets injured quite a bit too, touch wood he can stay fit for the most important stint of his career. If he goes down we are [censored].

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
