On the positive IF we can somehow scrape/ fluke/ edge our way into the finals. We get Viney and hibberd bk fresh. But .... I agree. Club is cursed. Memories of 1995 when Schwartz, tingay, Charles , Lyon, , jakovich all had virtually career ending injuries. 

We’re going to have to b lucky now. Feel like we’re gonna be one win short. Can’t help but see the High irony if Gawn, having the best season fr the club I can almost remember post flower, may have in part cost us a finals spot in round 1.

The week and the weekend suddenly has taken a turn for the worse. 

Massive loss. Hibberd brings so much to the team.  

 Quad injuries are difficult to heal. A serious tear could be season ending.  

Please wrap Max up in cotton wool.

Jones had a quad injury he was out for 6, I hope its not as severe as that.

My source tells me it's not severe a la Jones last year.  2 to 3 weeks tops.

That’s some good news if that’s the case Rusty. Misson’s report stated he hurt his quad in the ‘extras’ session after the main was completed. Aarghhh!! 

Hibbo as seen on the news footage that morning still managed to stop for a young fan’s autograph request on his limping way back to AAMI.

Happy for any good news Rusty....but how reliable is your source? 2-3 would be a massive relief if you're right. Could be we get Hunt, Viney, Hibberd back all around the same time. And yes I know Hunt was playing in the Magoos when injured but cant help but feel how much we're missing him atm.

How does the severity of Hibberd's injury affect our chances of winning this week? He's not playing either way.

It doesn't - I meant if it's a tear it's season over for him but if it's only a strain I still think we can win this week without him anyway and hopefully get him back the week after.

Nathan Jones missed 6 weeks with a quad strain.

If its a tear for Hibberd then bank on him missing the rest of the year unfortunately.

Very solid Wells.  Not in the business of selling false hope to the long suffering here.

Assuming the recovery goes as expected, Hibbs will return in 2 to 3

Hope Your right about Hibberd, can’t really afford a longer injury this stage of the season

Especially on the bigger MCG type grounds where he can run to space and break the lines.

Better news thankfully.

Hibberd was on 10 news saying should only 1-2 weeks out was quite positive 

Thats great news.  Back for Adelaide possibly, if not definitely Gold Coast.

I'd give him the Crows game and the Suns game to get it right.  The Adelaide game might be too soon, while I think we can get away with not having him for a horrible Suns side.  Get him cherry ripe for the Swans.

Still no update on Hibberd?

No timetable was given for his injury

The Age today...

The Demons, battling for a return to the finals for the first time since 2006, hope to have co-captain Jack Viney (foot) and running defender Michael Hibberd (quad) back for the round-21 clash against Sydney.

Cheers 10.

To say it would be a huge boost to get them back for that crucial match would be an understatement.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
