Considering this happened in the 2nd quarter and he played out the game I would say this is super minor. 

We are probably just being cautious this week as we play the suns. I would expect him to play against the swannies

    Most goal assist in the league? Heard that mentioned on a footy show or during the replay I watched. Hopefully back in v swans.

    Sounds right to me.  From what I also recall, he is well up there for contested marks inside 50 as well.

    I like Melksham and what he brings to the team, but this could be a bit of a bleesing. Feel like our forward lines been functioning a bit predictably and gone a tad stale since that purple patch a couple of months ago. Could be good to bring in a fresh face for a coupla weeks. *Cough* vandenberg.

    Is a Bleesing like a Toumpasing?

    Exactly.

    Apparently channel 7 said 3 weeks. 

    FMD we are not having a good run are we? I suppose when you look at GWS, Sydney and Collingwood tho, we haven’t got much to complain about. Yet. I’m sure next week 3 more will go down or something.

    Bugg has been playing good footy for a long time and has played well up forward. He’s the one I’d go with 

    I'm not confident with his foot skills or his set shots. Love the endeavour of the bloke but he lacks quality.

    There's nothing in the MFC article which says the club knew about it as at the second quarter. Melksham could have noticed it, tried to run through it, played the game out, but reported it later. So let's not pot the club just yet.

    However, given how our recent injuries have been going, I can't help but shake the feeling that this is more serious than the club has stated so far. I wouldn't be surprised to see him, and Hibberd, back no earlier than the GWS game.

    Funny that hey..

    Billy Stretch voices his concern prior to the Freo game that his foot is a bit sore, yet medical team told him just run it out to warm it up..

    Next minute,  season over!

    Is that true?

    Unfortunately it’s not.

    If you do a hamstring you don't "run out the match". It risks further damage, even if you can run at all.  Standard recovery is 2 weeks, with most club physio's resting for 3 to be certain. 

    I don't know why ALL clubs, not just ours, participate in this type of charade.

    Confirmed by kerry Lambert off the Dees podcast who was talking to Billy while out with lunch from somone that works at the footy club.

    Delusional.

    I've increasingly come to think this about injuries: It's not like we have to field 21 vs 22. As long as our depth is good and our intent is there, our selected 22 can beat any other selected 22. Collingwood proves this.

    Still wish we could select Lever, Viney, Melksham and Hibberd though.

    Yikes, where did 3 weeks come from? In the space of a few hours:

    - Minor Hammy

    - May miss this week and possibly next

    - will miss 3 weeks

    - Jack Watts

    FMD -- where is the exorcist to rid us of the CONS?

    IF neither Kent nor Bugg get a gig then surely their 'cards are marked'.

    That said, vandenBerg has been gradually building up a case.

    Maybe Hannan if fit could be a decent like-for-like.

    So whos right, Misson or Channel 7?  If its channel 7,   Misson has got to go.

     

    But elite performance manager Dave Misson was confident Melksham wouldn’t be sidelined for too long, saying it was a “very minor strain”.

    “It happened in the second quarter, but he played out the match,” he told Melbourne Media.  

    “Even though Jake’s pulled up well, we don’t want to risk him this round.

    “We’ll reassess him next week.”

    True! He had a handful of games though and a couple of goals. Good effort.

      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?
