    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: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
