So, Tom Mac didn’t report his sore toe for the last month. According to Goodwin, it’s been troubling him for a month yet he’s played AFLX and the opening JLT.

I believe he said it was sore.  I don’t think he said he didn’t report it.  I might be wrong

Showed up late for training this morning. The main squad was split into blues vs yellows doing a 3/4 ground ball movement drill, kicking the ball to a free player to get a set hot on goal, then reset

Man kick ball, other man Mark. Some good, some bad, all okay. Hows that?

Nibbler was with Viney and Lewis doing some work with Crossy early in the session over near the music box on the Punt Road side. IIRC they seemed to be moving OK, in a rehab group kind of way.  J

Trying to get a read on what the 'little niggles' are that JV refers to: "Having lost support in my foot and running differently and putting different loads through different bones, I've just got these little niggles popping up every now and then".

Question: At training is he able to side-step, pivot, lunge, sprint, zig-zag running etc etc?  Some insight would help understand what the lingering issues are.

Thanks.

Nah it was probably just a nuisance he could manage early on, but got worse, no game, rehab

I thought that, if they had a niggle of any sort, they were straight into the rehab group.  So how come T Mac had a 'nuisance' injury but didn't go in to rehab for it?  Seems strange.

Wouldn’t have a clue if T Mac reported the ailment or not. Based on the timeframe Goody spoke of, ( possibly a mix up of words) T Mac has played in two weekends of football with the issue.

Like Wiseblood stated above, it’s strange, considering we have been told many many times on here a slight niggle equals rehab.

By this stage of proceedings since recruitment, one might think that if Weideman was working well at his craft and its obligations, he might be ready now to relieve TMac for 'recovery' time from such little niggles. We do miss Vanders, as well, heh? Hope TMac is a rapid healer and can play unhindered for Round 1 and beyond.

What's the story with today's high intensity training at Casey?  It happening?  Or, did they decide to go to the Pub, instead?  We hopefully have at least one intrepid reporter on the spot...

WAIT A MINUTE. Is OLIVER injured too? :blink:

From The Age...

 

Melbourne are confident star onballer Clayton Oliver will be available for the season opener against Geelong despite copping a knock to the knee against St Kilda in the second game of the JLT Community Series.

Very confusing!  mfc website stopped putting up training times about a month ago! 

Instead 'Training Times' on website refer to twitter for updates - a shame for those of us who aren't on twitter:rolleyes:.  Anyway, I searched thru the club's twitter feed and couldn't find one re training.  I had thought of going but not being confident where/when it was I decided not to trek to the outskirts.

According to the Age those in 'rehab' (Viney, Lewis, Jones, Oliver, ANB, TMac - who trained in runners) trained in Melbourne - assume Gosch's paddock.  The rest had a 'solid hit out' at Casey this morning.https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/knock-to-knee-restricts-clayton-oliver-but-he-s-set-for-round-one-20180316-p4z4ou.html

Somewhere I read that TMac was to prove his fitness at the Casey hitout today for round 1 selection, but given he was at Gosch's in runners I would imagine he won't be lining up vs Geelong.

I would not worry about it 16 days after the knock is plenty of time to get over a knock to the knee, did he not play out the game anyway, it is nothing

The club has and  aiways will adverise 'open' training sessions

I attend 'closed' sessions coz I don't rely on the advertising

Assume today was a 'closed' session and I was told it was at Casey

Never known the difference between open and closed sessions, especially at Gosch's and haven't bothered asking

Late start to preseason, needs the fitness work, and touch?

 I would not play him Rnd 1 anyhow. I'd give him the extra week to get it right & to get more fitness base.

 

We need him running from CHF and following,  we need him in the packs & in the ruck.  Lets not risk him aggravating a tender injury on his foot in Rnd 1.. give him the extra week, hopefully that will be enough.

 

If he makes the injury worse, he could end up be out again for 5 weeks.

Even if we lose in Rnd 1, we can keep it to a minimum, & be ready for Rnd 2.

Its a long season, and we have to go the distance, and we want to be ramping up in August, not so much in March.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
