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. 

I sincerely hope he plays.


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

At least we will have the Bull and the (Pedo) Bear

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.

Edited by Petraccattack


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

A good half of the problems....

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
