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

The facts are, he cut short his training yesterday.  He had treatment, and then went off for scans today.

Confirmed on the news tonight.

If it was enough for all that, and with his recent history. its worth while missing one match, to rest it. especially with the short turnaround between the Crows  game and the Bullies game.

I would prefer he played the bullies game, of these two games....  miss this week, if required.

 

The 4 points don't care which team you win them against, and nor does the ladder,,,, they are all the same value.

And following the Bullies game, we have a long break leading into Queens-Birthday match.

 

The other thing is, we don't show our full hand during the match against the Crows.   For all to see.

 

I would not risk him. I hope we’ve learnt from our Viney debacle.

    Named on the field.

     

    Pedo, Hunt, Garlett and Tyson added to bench

    You know Melbourne's becoming a ruthless football side when we play these kinds of mind games with the opposition in selection. Tom will play.

    Tmac will probably play if he is travelling with the team let's wait and see. However if he doesn't play we can cover him with a Pedersen. The thing is that the crows have atleast 5 regulars out and the one that can hurts us is out, and that is McGovern. Therefore l feel confident enough to say that we can make it 5 in a row. You can only beat whats in front of you. So let go Dees. Give Pyke a sleepless week.

    Update: Minor inflammation in his toe, probably more from the pressure of the boots rather than anything else

    I get minor and major inflammation around my toes often,... 

    It called friggen GOUT.

    Tom will be fine, rest assured!

    Impeccable sources told me T Mac was absolutely focused on the correct rehab this year. He would call relevant staff every day in some cases to get their sign off for something he may have been thinking of doing, foot conditions status etc.

    Thus his comeback has been first rate (as opposed to how jack sought to come back early)

    This is another good example IMO of TMac simply being professional, sensing a concern and having it checked out.

    I believe that D17.

     And I'm a firm believer in players resting thru the season, when its required. Maintaining them fit and healthy, for the times they're really needed.

    I hope he rests this week.

     

    We have to have faith in the players who only last year did the right thing for us. We didn't last year and it hurt us.

    Its a long season and we will have opportunity later on to show the Crows our full armada.

    Did he call before he cuts loose on the boutique dance floor 

     

    If he's ok, he's ok, if he's not i fully understand especially after what happened with Jack Viney, Just make the right call, go through all the right channels, get it all ticked off or not then all gd.

    Still another 13 games to go we don't need to rush anyone anymore were better than that now.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
