Doctors missed a bone growing out of the crack in is heel... 

BIG miss and has cost him the season

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?

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
