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.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
