I agree. Misson and co. should have reinforced Hogan's collarbone with a steel plate before he took to the field. Poor planning. And I hear the anti-oxidants in rooibus tea are good at preventing cancer. I don't know why they persist with water on game day.

Better than drinking your own bath water l guess

They should wash the players' mouths out with soapy bathwater anytime anyone is caught dropping the F-word.

Add Joel Smith.  Our bad run continues 

Poor guy

And (didn't see or hear the game but ABC suggested Mumford took to  the biff) was Max concussed?

Melbourne Website has a story titled "SMITH SIDELINED - Joel Smith will miss the remainder of 2017 season with a knee injury"

Unfotunately the link doesn't open so I don't know if it is just this season or is a reco. Anyone know any more?

8-10 week injury, no damage to ACL, just a crack in the tibia.

Thanks Demon77. As bad as that is so happy that he will hopefully get a good crack at it next year.

Pun not intended

If that's the official injury list then does it mean Oscar McDonald's ribs have come up OK?

......and Viney on crutches just 'precautionary'?

Bringing him back quickly must be taking a toll, I really hope it's not doing him further damage. Courageous as he is. 

Tom Bugg might be a chance vs the Lions if we want fresh legs. 

I think the plan was to bring in Watts and Salem and rest another couple of guys, but Salem screwed that up with his stupidity. 


Excellent news on Jesse Hogan. Greg Denham in The Australian today says Jesse has made a miraculous recovery and could play this week-end if he gets through training this week and gets the all clear from his surgeon. 

Doubt Hogan will play. Viney has been on crutches after every game since he came back and there's been a news report about him "being in doubt" each time bar last week vs GWS.

Surely the source is the Demonland podcast?

 

I'm pretty sure in Dave Missons report he said he was back training but a week or two away. 

 

It would be huge we're Jesse to be able to return so soon AND have a big physical influence.  Sounds too good to be true, so probably is.

Why is Kent's shoulder only now being operated on? 

There has been scant info re Ken'ts injury. The club went to ground. Now its revealed he will have surgery? Something fishy here...

We were hoping he could manage the shoulder so he could be back to play this season.

  • 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.
