    Who came back after injury last year and was immediately at their best?  Max? Viney? Watts?  We had sub par performances on almost every occasion.  What exactly is the myth?

    Not to be pedantic but you did say "rushed back". Watts certainly wasn't rushed back because he didn't do his rehab properly and took way longer than they were expecting.

    And if not ready, should have not been selected....in his case, rushed back was still true, he came back before he should have.

    Viney came back too early, though easy to say in hindsight and even waiting another week or two, hard to see that the outcome would have been any different. Watts we know about (general slackness), and after Max missed half the season it was always going to be game over.

    There's a difference between being over your injury/fit, to being "at your best". No player coming off a few weeks (or more) away will be immediately at their best, it's one of the reasons we're putting players through practise matches now. It's called match fitness, and you can't get it just training.

    On the other hand, Hogan played his best ever game for the club after being "rushed back".

    And that is the reason he is gone and the call was made on him

    If watts play a game back in the VFL he would have gain form.

    DMMA if he focussed on getting himself right for the finals tilt he would still be with us. Trust me

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
