If stupidity was an Olympic sport, there are a number of employees of the MFC that would be strong favourites to bring home the gold medal in their respective weight divisions.

Not only do we allow Jack Viney to destroy his foot by playing him early against all prevailing medical wisdom, we allow Tom McDonald to do the same thing six months later. At least Viney's problems stem from regular season matches - the club was stupid enough to let McDonald play a shitty exhibition game two months out from the season. 

Given the countless half truths and outright lies spoken by everyone from the coach down since Viney's initial injury, I can only assume that we will spend the next 23 weeks enduring the same regarding McDonald's problem. Time for the club to man up and admit to their errors of judgement and give honest timelines for the returns of both Jack and Tom.

PS. Vandenberg - indefinite, McKenna - indefinite. So glad my membership dollars are paying for these two to not play football for the club.

They'd have to beat some Demonland posters first.

    What you indicate, largely, is the general sentiment and well done for expressing that problem. The injury malaise is one that haunts the MFC. We hope all of our war-weary recover successfully and in future, there is more open honesty from the Club messengers.

    My questions for Mr Misson are:

    If Tom McDonald is feeling so much better now after 10 days off legs then why wasn't he given 10 days off legs when he first felt sore 8 weeks ago?

    AND

    Why did he play in the AFLX shambles at on the Etihad car park if there was knowledge that he had any sort of niggle that could be exacerbated by a firm surface?


     

     

    Misson: Hi DeeSp.  Thanks for the question.

    The original injury normally takes 4 weeks to get right. in this case it hasn't responded as expected, but there is no crystal ball with injuries, just after the fact hindsight.

    Tom played practice match to see how he managed with the injury but unfortunately for Tom the injury flared up.

    We train our players to be fit to go, And sometimes injuries do not respond as expected. Which in this case is what has happened.

    Tom has done a lot of running to get his fitness levels up, and this injury has not responded as hoped.

    So now we have to back him right down, to allow time to heal this injury, He will maintain fitness inside on Alter G and swimming & will recommence outside running as expected in 2 weeks time.

     

    I hope this answers your question Re Toms injury management.

    MFCSS alive and well for 2018.

    I hate seeing injuries to key players as much as anyone else but our challenge now is to get on with the task of putting 22 players on the field and getting the job done.  

    These things have a habit of getting better out of the understudies.

     

    I like it. Because the hopes of the players are high.  Some will take more of the bit between their teeth ?

    Lets all sit back and enjoy.

    no mention anywhere of gus

    just presume he will be ok for sunday?

    He's off with the fairies daisy.

    He put his teeth in a jar bedside the bed, and in the morning they were still there, but Gus was gone ?  

    It's hoped he returns to planet earth soon, so we can select him for a team.

    Injuries to key players are NEVER ever wanted. 

    However when they are unavoidable, they create opportunities for others. Look at Hogan last year whose savagely poor luck, uncovered T Mac as a star forward! 

    We have the chance to pick 22 players the same as our opposition. The mix will now have changed, but the objective remains the same. 

    Who will grasp their opportunity in 2018? Hopefully ANB or Bayley or Pedo or someone else. It is there for the taking.

    Does money received from the tooth fairy get included in the salary cap?

    I here they plan on putting it towards the EOSTrip.

     

    But he's gotta get back for the land of the sugar plum, & bring the money with him first. ^_^

    With the Chinese space station due to crash onto the planet later today, let’s hope this doesn’t add to our injury list.

    It’s true that the odds of being hit are 3 trillion to one but after what this club’s been through over the past dozen years, we need to take precautions.

    Great to see the injury list numbers coming down, but still hurts to have two of our best six out.

    Clarry, Max, Hoges, Trac are the others in my top 6. Hibberd, Jones & Jetta on the edge, even though Jetta is out of form!

    All things considered our injury list isn't too bad (touch wood). The issue  that two of the injured players are walk up starts and one of them is our co-captain. They are also not simple injuries but once that need care and management which just makes it all the more frustrating.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
