FFS.   We really have been caught kissing the goat. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  GO DEES !!


This was flagged earlier in the week by a poster.  Can’t remember who it was.  From memory they said it was only a minor tweak.  Hopefully it’ll only be a couple of weeks as opposed to 4...

There is a positive, my hamstrings are ok at the moment. 


Does that mean your available for selection?

It’s not this week that hurts so much but next. Usually hammies aren’t a one weeker so it may go to two, then it’s a flight to WA which isn’t great for them either. Unless it’s the tinniest hammy ever I think he misses a few.

He played out the game so it can't be that serious.

The cynical part of me thinks that that we are coming up with an excuse for resting him without appearing to be complacent against a weak side.


I strained my hammy earlier this year and missed 2 weeks,. If you do everything right in terms of rehab and conditioning then you can make it back in 2 weeks instead of your usual 3-4..

My biggest issue is why did they send him out again when they knew he strained earlier on...?‍♂️

Our medical team annoys me..

If it had to happen, I'd rather it now than in a few weeks time. 

Rest up Milkshake. Time to unleash AVB!

We have been told all year that if they have the slightest niggle, they go to the rehab group. Funny how that continually proves to be an untrue piece of information. 

Yeap, not sure he will be back under 4 weeks. Can’t wait for the review into training side of things.

It's difficult to go into rehab in the middle of a match which if we lost it would likely mean we miss the 8.  A judgement might have been made that what you have been told all year (really?) is out of date.

Dangerfield missed 2 weeks (the week after JLT and round 1 this year) with a very minor strain so I''m using that as a guide. So he'll surely miss the crucial Sydney game which is a pity.

Unless Smiley Misson is bull crapping about it only being 'minor', expect him back for round 22 V's WCE.

So lets risk a player injury to try and make finals?

No thanks! We tried that with Jack Viney and it backfired terribly. Hes lucky he didn't tear his hamstring!

Should have put him on ice when they first alerted the problem.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
