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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
