Wonder if Weitering's delayed concussion has kicked in yet? 

Was he hit?

    Copped a heavy knock to the head and their club doctor allowed him to keep playing.

    Absolutely inexcusable Jesse.

    Getting suspended was bad enough -- I would have thought he would have been required to attend all club activities and not been given a holiday.

    I hope the club come down hard on him.

    I was responding to someone who said that their suspension wouldn't be the difference between winning and losing.  The poster is right if we had won all our games in their absence.  We didn't and I think not having Lewis and especially Hogan impacted very significantly on yesterdays result.

    Clearly I'm talking about the impact or consequence of their actions not the actions themselves.  And as we lost yesterday some posters might reflect on their initial view.

    Not you though, I know that.

    John Maynard Keynes is often quoted for what appears to be an apocryphal rather than actual statement he made when he said: "when the facts change, I change my ideas".

    In this case though I see nothing to change. Firstly I was talking more about Lewis and the utility of his action on the day and not about Hogan or Vince. 

    Interestingly listening to Lewis being interviewed by Gerard and Dwayne he mentioned the outside perception before he came to the Demons were perceived as a bit soft and this may have played into his decision to smack Cripps. It's funny how different people hear different things from the same message. I like Lewis, he doesn't put on some act to appease. He knows what success is and while he's repentent for what he's done, he's not contrite if that makes sense. 

    Secondly, if we were talking about the outcome as the determination of whther I should change my opinion (and I mentioned that this shouldn't be seen as a correlation) then missing Hogan is as irrelevant as the non selection of Pedersen for first gamer Smith. Which maybe indicative of Goodwin's priorities for the year in terms of development first and if we play finals then great. 

    Speaking of changing opinions I note that Freo made 6 changes to their team and won which goes against the grain slightly in terms of both the trend and their form. I'm  glad Ross pulled the trigger when he did though, at least as suporters we shouldn't be mentally jumped by a better than expected Fremantle.

    Okay, I just don't buy it.  I know many doctors and I don't know one that would be unethical in such a situation and doing it in a high profile situation is much riskier than I think you're giving it credit for.  There is nothing in it for Carlton and nothing in it for the doctor.

    I does seem that this situation gives us the opportunity to play the victim which is something I really hate but is part of the landscape (generally) now.

    Dr phillip bloom cfc doctor - treated me for hamstring tendenopathy using platelet rich plasma injections a somewhat unproven treatment that bloom favours and administers

    Bloom is a sports physician (more qualified) than a gp

    Dr phil baressi was the previous cfc doctor and he resigned in the wake of the essendrug scandal because the pressure was on club doctors to bend rules

    I worked at the college of surgeons and medicos are just as flawed as other mortals but in the case of concussion they would should be very careful

    We clearly differ but the facts are that while Pedersen and Smith were available Hogan wasn't and therefore Goodwin couldn't pick him.

    Ok, not having seen the match yet as I have been O/S can you tell me what % you would put on us winning the match with Hogan and out of interest what % with Pedo?

    So Paddy Ryder gets  2 weeks down to 1 whereas our guys get 3 down to 2!

    Crow's doctors must have given a 'no symptoms' type of report - classed as 'low' impact.

    The hate I felt for Carlton last week has just gone up a few more notches! 

    They really are scum, big sooks and bad sports.

    Just as I predicted. Both on Ryder and Lyons.

    The MRP put our blokes out for longer suspensions, purely and simply on the back of an obviously scathing, Blues' Doctor's report.

    I thought Ryder's hit from behind and behind play was disgusting.

    I defy any reasonable explanation that this gutless, dangerous act, was worth only 1 week, because luckily he didn't hurt Knight more.

    In relation to the Hogan incident, it was an open hand, while his opponent was not only facing him, but pushing him backwards. The Doctor says Rowe was really sick as a result, yet the bloke plays in a wet, hard game the next week. What if the Doctor's report was wrong, it was never tested?

    The MRP like so much under the control of the AFL is a joke.

    PS. Don't pay holding the ball against me, as I only held it through 5 tackles and for 4 minutes.

    How is this different from hogans?

     

    This was a 1000 fine. Id argue it's worse

    Obviously the most important ingredient was missing, a scathing, untested, Doctor's Report.

    PS. The latest joke among the media guys is," it's only an offence if the Doctor gets involved."

    Interesting Dino I had the same treatment PRP into a quad insertion tendon injury and it fixed me up so well I was able to get back to sport in a mater of a month aftre being out for 4 months. PRP will start to be used more frequently in speeding up the injury healing process, particularly in blood poor areas such as tendons!

    Hope your injury is fine!

    Obviously more with Hogan than Pedo, I reckon we were a very good chance with Hogan because our forward structure would have been maintained and he kicks goals at Etihad.  But when you watch the game as I know you will you'll make up your own mind.  I'm surprised you couldn't find a sports bar!

    Thanks for your good wishes

    Mine got better but whether it was the prp or general recovery who could say

    Its off topic but some treatments are ahead of the curve unsupported by evidence base (randomized controlled trials and peer review) is that a problem - maybe because players get experimented on.

    Has gawn got hamstring tendonopathy? Surgery only one path in our experience

    MRP what a joke. Ryder chases a player down the field and king hits from behind. Knights leaves ground and takes no further part in the match but the blow is considered low impact. What a difference between how Melbourne players are treated.

    He was hit with 2 minutes to play so not sure you can really argue this point, even though i love it.

    How can you possibly argue that Hogan's absence had a significant impact on the result, unless it's to suggest it allowed us so many shots on goal. We know how we played without him, which by many forward measures was really well (29 scoring shots to 3/4 time). We have no way of knowing how we would have played with him - though a pretty solid argument could be made for less front-half tackles/pressure acts and more long bombs into the f50.

    Yeh, and we should leave Hogan out when he's available and keep playing Tim Smith.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
