    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...

    Doesnt look good at all.

    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.

    Just when we thought we were getting some luck on the injury front too :(

    I am assuming an ACL If it’s not I will be wrapped but has put a sour taste on the win, we need him

    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 ?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
