By the end of this season he will have played 14 games out of the past 49 (plus any finals we play). Perhaps he stays because we have too many others to delist, but he is teetering on the precipice.

He'll also be 26 by the start of next season - that's not particularly old, but at some point you have to weigh up the value of putting games into an injury prone fringe player versus giving them to a young draftee.

yes he was a great point of difference being a big bodied midfielder. As Commetti once said about Vanders, He doesn't do anything great, but does everything well.

 

He is worth persisting with if we think he won't turn into a trengove situation and lose his pace.

Nice combination pun and ambiguity. Either you want us to get doctors who can perform at a higher standard or you believe we have unwell doctors...which is kind of funny, yet disturbing (that you care) at the same time.

What does this actually mean? I assume the crack you are referring to is in the bone which makes up the heel. So is it a bit of bone growing in the wrong place?

Correct... If the doctors picked it up earlier they could have operated earlier and not cost him the season.

Do you mean a calcaneal spur, or something related to a fracture?

IF that is the case here is a link.  https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/heel-spur

It seems that initial treatment is conservative i.e. rest which has been done.  Surgery (assuming that is what is happening) seems to be reserved for when conservative treatment fails.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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.

    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
