EDIT: He did it during the game - fair enough. Needed to be dropped anyway.

Edited by MondĂȘ

Probably not a bad thing for him to sit for a few games.  He's not in the best form and this allows us to try a few different things without the stigma of him being 'dropped'.

Set to miss 1 to 2 weeks. 

Not sure about the big blow bit!

We have too many slow plodders in the team, this will work to our advantage.

Amazing how often you get injured when you don't give 100%. If the other bloke is going harder than you, of course you will come off second best.

 

This just in

10,000 Demon Fans Out With Broken Hands
Fans believed to have punched walls, slammed table tops, in unexplained epidemic last Sunday afternoon.

All thr best Jordan. Speedy recovery.

Not sure id be playing after 2 weeks..plate or not.

My ...this season's going swimmingly !! 


We sure it wasn’t his foot? His kicking was just [censored] house on Saturday

Its a gutsy effort to play on with any injury but in particular with a broken hand.

It does save the embarrassment of being dropped. This way he will probably come back via Casey.

The end is near Ernest. Cannot see him playing in 2019. Good try and cost relatively low amount but is over. Two weeks will become four and if yes big if we are playing ok how does get back in? 


Lewis is making us worse in 2018 so this will work out in our favour.

It might explain why he played poorly, but it doesn't explain why he continued to play. It's not like we had other injured players on the bench.

Nevertheless, irrespective of the foolhardiness of playing on, it shows great courage. I suspect he played with either (or both) a numb hand or significant pain relief which knocked him about, because he clearly looked out of sorts.

Get well soon.

Best to see him retire of his own accord. For player and team.

Perhaps sadly Ernest I have got to the point with the MFC that I don't care about the individual anymore. Over the last 50 years numerous playing groups have completely worn away my " care factor for the individual" we have paid top ups to so many end of their time players over the years that my attitude is close to " if you cannot cut it get out of the road and let someone else have a go" 

I am only interested in winners over hill players can nick off.

Brutal ? Yes.


He can now devote more training time to standing up !

Very good puntkick

Played terribly v Hawks, so did 90% of the team. Played very well v North and from what the club said they were happy with his role v Brissy. He's an important player but for me he's not doing enough. Maybe this time off gives him a chance to get a few other niggles right, and he can maybe lend his experience in the coaching box.

Must add the "new kicking in danger rule does not apply to MFC" notes for maggots, to come out of versus Hawks game..........

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
