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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • 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.
