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

    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.

    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?

    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 ?

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
