    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
