Maxy was just on Ch 7 News and says could be back next week for the Bulldogs game :)

With a completely straight face Max said: "I trained on Saturday with the boys and was best on, so if I keep that form going, I should be all right." :rolleyes: Only Max could conjure up a BOG at training to push his case!!

Great to see that Joel Smith is only a couple of weeks away. He was incredibly unlucky to be injured in the opening quarter of his debut and deserves another shot provided a spot opens up.


I kinda threw up a little bit seeing Hogan as 4-6! They could've made it anything else. Hell make it indefinite! But not 4-6! :wacko:

Jesse Hogan is dealing with cancer and not some ordinary soft tissue injury. The situation has to be dealt with sensibly and with due sensitivity. This involves dealing not only with the physical but with the psychological side of things that often demands patience and time. In that regard, the timeline has come down from "indefinite" to 4 - 6 weeks and as fans, we should be accepting of that. 

 

Jonesy rest up brother were gonna need you at the pointy end. It may not seem like it but its a blessing in disguise for you to launch into the finals fresh as a daisy.

Skipper Jones out 4-6 weeks,  The man that never misses a game.  This is uncharted territory for the Dees.

 

4-6 weeks?  We'll never see him again! 


WTF. I have started to enjoy footy again.

Jones out 4-6 weeks.

Watts doubtful.

Hibberd pulled up sore and in doubt this week.

Stretch and JKH on the plane as standbys this week.

Thank god big Max is back.

In other and better news Gawny is a definite for this week, while it looks like Watts, Jetta and Hunt should all be fine for the West Coast game.  Watts will need to pass a fitness test on Thursday, although Misson did say he had pulled up very well from the weekend.

Hibberd also in doubt I understand.

"Sore" apparently.


It's his quad....

He's only missed 5 games since his debut, unbelievable

It's a quad strain. 

How does Josh Kennedy blow up his leg and miss 2-3 and our soft tissues miss 4-6?

It's almost every time too. Gawn was a standard 4 week string...of course it then ends up being 12!

Hibberd not even mentioned as a test in the injury list

Damn frustrating just when we get Gawn back lose Jones - so hard to get the full side together

Would be good to see trenners at least as emergency

Not only an opportunity for our mids to get creative with covering Jones loss and learning for the long term, but also an opportunity for Jack Viney to captain the club in a very important part of the year with big Max to offer additional ruck and leadership support. Will hold him/us in good stead long term

While we seem to have tamed Etihad and won 3 of 4 games this year, it is still taking an almighty toll on our players. 

The soft tissue injuries to our most valuable players (Gawn/Jones) happened there. 

That ground is costing us big time!

 

 

Poor old Jonesy finally gets to play in a team in good form on a roll and does his quad

  • 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.
