I would imagine these clean ups are not unique to the Dees.

all the more reason to buy shares in a hospital

    Some of them make a lot of money, but there is no doubt the wear and tear on the body is a huge sacrifice. 

    A life long sacrifice. 

    I was talking to Robbie Flower one night and he could hardly get off the couch and he said it was just as hard getting out of bed in the morning. 

    Its a reminder of the physical toll of AFL footy and a reason why we should never call players soft.

    Add : Oscar Mcdonald . He had an operation on his Hip which is why he was not at the B&F

    There was a bloke doing a bloody good impression of him then, check out the Roaming Harmes clip, with Gawn

    I didn't see him at the event, guess he was there at some stage if he is in the clip.I was chatting to T Mac at the afterparty who said he was not there due to operation on his hip, probably left B&F early.

    Sydney should pick up the tab on that one.

    Reminds me of the old joke about the guy who went to have a haircut while at work. The boss told him he couldn't do that. The employee said, "Why not? My hair grows on company time". The boss replied, "But you only work 8 hours a day". The employee said in response, "That's why I only asked the barber to shorten my hair by a third."

    Injured while doing battle for the MFC. MFC picks up the tab. It’s not a difficult concept.

    If May or Kolodjashnij are having surgery, should we pick up the tab? (Hint: the answer is no.)

    Said in jest mate.

    I know full well that's an MFC responsibility.

    Pretty amazing we got as far as we did when more than half of our best players in finals have ended up having serious post-season procedures.

    Can imagine Barrie, was not suggesting the chronic injury problem only applied to AFL.

    Many blokes I know who played in the Ammos for any length of time have arthritis or hip replacements in middle age. 

    Same for country footy, but most blokes in the country just limp!

    • 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?
