    This is going to sound like BS from me.

    ...but I've been meaning to post for a few weeks now that I thought Clayton was not handling the ball as well this year.

    He's a very clean, one touch player but has not been as clean this season.

    ... and even though he made AA this season, his ball handling was better last year.

    That makes sense now, he hasn't been doing contact training for a while.

    ...the competition better watch out next year.

    Clarrie will rip it apart.

    The mind boggles as to just how good Clarrie is, but even more-so, how good he can become!

    Wonder who else has been carrying injuries. 

    Under the circumstances, gutsy performance from him in the latter part of the year.

    Is he going to get a full preseason though? What’s the recovery on 2 shoulder recos?

    No contact TIL January, but presumably can do a whole lot of cardio leading up to that.

    I was told that he is a robot and needs a little bit of oiling every now and then. Needs to tighten some loose screws.  

    Finish him up with a cut and polish and will be good as new.  May he last forever.

    I’m a physio and this worries me immensely. The latarjet procedure is not one to take lightly and can involve multiple setbacks during recovery...and he’s having them on both shoulders. The procedure will have to be a couple of weeks apart so that he can start to regain some minimal function in one shoulder before operating on the next. Hate to say it but it won’t surprise me if clarry doesn’t get much of a preseason. Estimates of early jan are touch and go for me.

    Thanks for the great news NTG :(

    I used to date a circus trapeze artist who needed both her shoulders done, this is not a simple surgery, stacks of recovery involved, NTG is being kind. Makes the Geelong game a standout and explains Saturday. I wonder if he's been having needles.

    Given his importance to our future you would hope they will observe every precaution, we've rushed players back in the past and it's almost always come back to bite us. Ablett Jnr also returned too early from his shoulder injuries and it bit the Suns in the ass.

    Didn't TMac have the same thing 2 preseasons ago? Bilateral shoulder recos?

    On the one hand, for him to be playing at the level he was over the last month or two despite having bilateral shoulder issues is incredible.

    On the other hand, two surgeries which sound serious enough, delaying his start to the pre-season, is not good news at all.

    That is true, but he can still run, it won't effect his fitness level, or skill level just no contact training, cross works his rehab men hard.

    Tough bloke. Well that explains his drop off later in the season (making room for Brayshaw to shine more).  But obviously a stager.

    I suppose this is the ‘real’ reason behind him being moved forward in the last third of the year...

    • 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.

      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.
