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.

Pedo would also be handy - and handy enough for the Crows, at that, I'd reckon. Very worrying about TMac, just the same. Hope all is well and the 'just precautionary' is merely the case.

    I say keep playing him! it worked well for him and us  in the JLX pre season comp and on top of that we have the history of Trengove and Viney to prove you can just play thru the pain of these things. No biggie.

    If Pedo produces 70% of what T Mac could and everyone else continues their great form, we're still a good chance on Sunday.

    It cannot be the Weed, so Pedo is the man. We must win this one - not carry the 'L' plates into the forward line.

    We would have to be stupid to risk him right? 

    Even with him out we should be able to beat the crows with thier much worse injury list.

    Ouch!!! 

    .... yep? 

    Demonland rule no. 1 Always believe the worst case scenario MFCSS. Probably out for 10 weeks

     

    I always thought we should have drafted Oscar Pistorius. We would have less of these problems.

    Well this circumstance only lends itself to pushing out the inevitable rest period by another week. Goodwin has been almost nauseatingly heaping credit on ‘the high performance team’ of late so it’ll be interesting to see how they treat this one.

    It’ll be great if he makes it thru to the bye for a rest but it has a feeling about it which makes me feel a high level of doubt.

    Let’s renegotiate his contract while he recuperates

    If, as Goodwin says, he pulled up sore after the Blues game, what the hell was he training today for?

    He's pulled up sore every game since returning I don't think is a new thing. Listening to him on the MFC podcast after his return he delayed getting treatment earlier in the year thinking it was just a small thing so obviously now the second he doesn't feel comfortable he's going to notify the docs and get it checked out. 

    He may or may not play on Sunday but I don't think you can fault the club for having him train, he has to train in some capacity if he is expecting to play.

    Really wish he would have held off on making those comments until the scan results come in.

    Please rest him if there are any doubts. Id rather he miss 1-2 than 6-8 given his recent issues.

    Might drop his asking price.

    unlikely... if anything it goes up as it will re- enforce in Tom's mind that this contract is his payday.

    Classic case of the Toby McGuire movie with Tom Cruise

     

    Hindsight's a wonderful thing but I wonder if it would have made sense to rest him against Carlton (who we would have flogged anyway) to get him fresh from this one

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • 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?

      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.
