Hmmm, so why do people in Perth know beforehand? Family members? Friends? This season is turning into a cluster F

I wasn't having a go at you, but your original post sounded different in the context of what he actually said, and since I am not in Perth I have no idea what was reported.

It sounded like you were validating the original poster by saying this was reported in Perth, which it clearly was not. 

All good... I went early and out of context.

 

Jesse said last night that he had a scan yesterday then had to have a second one in the afternoon and was meeting doctors today.  There is every chance (note I am surmising) they knew the problem with the second scan and today's doctor meeting was/is to work thru options. 

Good on Jesse for not letting on suspicions or confirmations of the issues on national television.  What is said behind the scenes to/ by managers, friends etc etc who knows

Whoever leaked isn't really important to me.  I just care about having 22 fit players to get us a win or two in the next few games. 

And of course if true, I wish Jesse a speedy and trouble free recovery. 

Note:  Reports are he was not wearing a moon boot at training this morning but then again nor did he train.

Maybe the club is trying to soften the blow by first releasing the info that Hibberd and maybe Melksham might return this weekend.

So I guess you don’t mind if your doctor releases your herpes results?

Sam Weideman, come on down!

I know you're a 1 goal a game battling forward at Casey, but it's time you arrived in the big league and justify the top 10 pick we spent on you. 

(Or do we go with a TMac/ Pedo fwd line?)

I would certainly like to know who leaked it, if it turns out to be correct.

Hang on a second, I certainly did not say nor did I imply doctors leaked.  Herpes?  Good Lord!  Get a grip! 

Anyway, I think people on here should not speculate doctors (or who) did leak like your post implies.

And no, from where I sit I don't care who leaked it - that is up to the club to sort out.  If he has a foot injury that puts out him for 2018 that is for medicos to work with.  I care about Jesse's welfare like I said in my post but as far as 2018 is concerned if he is not available he is not available.  Who leaked it is really irrelevant to our season.

No magic needed, it was leaked by someone, that was my point. Jesse played it down last night on TV

It’s relevant for other reasons in a general discussion about privacy.

Weid, Pig and Milkshakes in this week. Think Kent should also come in.


Time for the Weid to make his mark!

I called for Pedo to stay in the side but I'm backtracking on that. Weidemann has a massive opportunity to stamp his place in the side and possibly play a final or two.

Doesn't matter if the big fella misses, we rolled the Eagles in perth without him last year and will do it again!

That's an omen right there Philthy.

Hogan was limping, proppy and NQR against Adelaide too. Maybe this has been a problem for longer than just the past few days.

Confirmed by the club that he is out for the season.

Here's the link --> http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-08-14/hogan-to-miss-rest-of-the-season

This season just keeps on giving.... Oh well Weideman has got two weeks to show if he has improved this year.

Personally that just about does me for this year... time to pick a team to watch in the finals as usual

it's important to get games into Weid, but Pederson IMO will give us more output at the moment


Just when it couldnt get any worse, it does!

  • 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?
