    Nervous wait until we hear the outcome of the scan! Hopefully only a 3-4 week injury and he could be back after the bye.

    ABC saying Melbourne are worried it's an ACL...

    There was no contact... the knee just went.

    FML that would be right. We can’t have things go smoothly at Melbourne. Something always has to go wrong. 

    Fingers crossed!

    It was pretty innocuous. Changing direction at relatively low speed. Hoping for the best.

    Just caught the end of someone on ABC in rooms interview.  Maybe Tommy McD?

    Either he or commentator said ACL was mentioned somewhere.  All a bit vague, but IF a full ACL the man involved would surely know it.

    Sadly no contact when his knee seemed to buckle, so unlikely to be bone bruising, I reckon.  Sincerely hope that this is just MFCSS in my part!

    He has had a knee reconstruction on that knee in 2014 so here’s hoping he hasn’t done major damage to it. 

    Im not holding my breath.

    TripleM doc said likely ligament damage, but only expects 4-6 weeks off. We shall see.

     

    E: Goodwin just said suspected ACL

    Felt so relieved reading that.

    Then I got to the second line.

    For [censored] sake.

    It will be what it is.

    Please remind me who is / are playing any similar type of rôle at Casey?  

    Keilty? How is he coming along?

    Same question for Petty?

    It would be a backward step though could become necessary to more Tommy back?

  • Quote

    Is it possible that it’s a partial knee tear and he returns in 6-8 weeks like Dale Morris?

    I rate Petty. However as we saw with Nev today, i reckon it's just another tall defender to plug the hole and free up nev and hibbo for the intercept.

    If he needs a MRI then almost certainly not until Monday but the 2 day delay wouldn’t effect recovery from whatever it turns out to be.

    Surely footballers get preferential treatment and quicker results? 

    Not sure we can wait until Monday. Might die of anxiety.

    Hope he returns like Jake Lever, not like Dale Morris ?

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
