really disturbing. Is there ANY other club having the same type of foot issues? It does seems like its particular to us and, if so, must  in some way to the way we prepare/ train...or the surface itself. Unless its just horrible luck. I hope they're investigating, because if Oliver, Gawn, or Brayshaw go down with something similar there could be riot ...and I'll be at the front of it. 

 

Don't forget the surface of Gosch's Paddock. There has to be a correlation to the surface and the spate of foot injuries over the past few years. 


Does vanders qualify to be part of this elite list?

Absent extreme coincidence or bad luck (both unlikely), one must assume there is something that we are doing at training or the site of our training.

Surely some sort of enquiry will be made by the footy dept to get to the bottom of this most troubling foot injury syndrome.

 

Too much repeat exercise on hard surfaces is the prime suspect according to the missus (GP).

Don't forget Tim Smith last year as well.

 

It is definitely associated with overuse, they definitely need to look at training loads.  Have had a lot of experience with these injuries in association with basketball.

Stretch and before that Clark and Trengove. All under Missons watch?

Yep I've been banging on about it for the last 18 months, time to ditch this fool.

The guy is a jinx.


Its hard to judge compared to other clubs, but at a glance it seems we have far more than we should.

Did the pies have problems before us at our training venue?  I don't remember any reports.

So it must be another cause, or simply poor physical mechanics in our players that we need a biomechanical to fix ASAP.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
