No Ah Chee plays for the suns...

I just read the article;  he won't play if their sensible. Same foot. they won't risk it even if its not the turf toe thing, as they all relate symbiotically.

It needs rest, and after the crows game, its a short turnaround for the doggies game.

I expect TMc to be back for Q/Birthday.

 

Welcome back Pedo.

 

Just when we started to get momentum and found a structure that worked for us... horrible news. Even if it is precautionary, the fact he was carted off suggests he’ll miss this week at least for a rest. No offense to Pedo, but he won’t have anywhere near the same impact TMac does. Hopefully TMac is ok and it’s not a recurrence of that foot injury!

Careful with that statement, the Pedo fan club will be after you.  Most of them think he is Wayne Carey 2.0

pedo can be great on his day

Yes, he usually plays his obligatory great game when he returns to the seniors, then gradually gets worse by the week.

Is T Mac really that critical to our structure that we can't win without him? I really hope not.

It's an interesting point BBP, as now that we've found a structure that works, we should be able to cover him well enough that we still win the game we should be winning.

Pedersen isn't a world beater, but he has the tank to get himself up the ground and have stints in the ruck.  Same goes for both Hogan and Tim Smith - they have the capacity to play Tom's role and therefore we keep the structure of the side intact.

Obviously, Tom is in ripping form and we're not the same side without him, but I believe that now we have a good structure in place that we can push on in a positive direction if we don't have him in the side.

Anyone know the turnaround of a scan result?

24 hours?

can be 5 mins if your specialist is on site

The problem is that at Melbourne precautionary moves usually end up as being 4 to 6 weeks.

If it's a recurrence of his foot problem then 4 to 6 will be a bonus...

They will get the scan result pretty much straight after doing it, they will do the scan then take a look at it...no need to wait.

almost instant  these days if you have the doc (as I am sure they will have) there to read the scan results. A little longer if you want second opinions etc

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
