I agree that Melksham is very important, but incredibly for someone who is normally a great kick he is a terrible set shot for goal.

The ball barely gets off the ground when he has a set shot.

    Its the Tiger Woods stinger, he does kick like that in field kicks also.

    All I said was that the soft tissue injuries were starting to stack up which is true. Didn't mention anything about having hard luck with overall injuries or anything like that. Medical misjudgment yes but not bizarre over-reaction.

    Wasn’t actually referring to you. I would have quoted you if so.

    Yeah sorry for jumping the gun mate. Was having a generally testy morning and was easily set off.

    So he did it in the second quarter and they still took the risk to keep playing him, now he’s missed a week? Hmmm, I’ve lost confidence with our medical staff after the Viney debacle. Funny how our injuries have “bobbed up” since then. Maybe Misson gets a bonus for a KPI “games loss through injury.” Some weird injury stuff happening, Viney, Hibberd, Stretch, Melksham etc.

    You want to sack someone different every week.

    Wow you can make some really offensive comments but a bonus for injury

    Melksham had a similar injury early on in season, he could play but decision taken out of his hands

    Stress fractures or hotspots are difficult to find, Stretch was lucky the caught it early

    Hibbo still doesn't know what caused his quad he was fine through whole session and was having a kick at the end

    I disagree. He's our second best set shot behind Tommy. Would love to see some stats on this - couldn't find any.

    Think of the Richmond game earlier in the year where Jesse couldn't hit the side of a barn and Jake kept us in it with his kicking.

    He's kicked 22.20 this year. Kicked 21.6 last year.

    TMac has kicked 40.13. Kicked 23.7 last year.

    Jesse has kicked 42.19. Kicked 20.6 last year.

    Yeah, we're talking set shots though. I found his 50% conversion rate, but that doesn't tell us what his set shots have been like. I think you'll find a lot of those misses were snaps.

    So you were, my bad. 

     Not sure if the AFL pro stats cover it. Or if champion data keep the stat.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
