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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
