Perhaps we may need to call some demonlanders up for a game. PS: There was a time several years back when Collingwoood had to advertise for players to make up their VFL numbers We had, what, six afl listed players in the vfl yesterday?

Of that 39, 14 currently on the injured list, of which arguably 11 are best 22 Quote
Deeko2 865 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Just read the report on the Melbourne FC web page about Hibbo only being out for a couple which is handy. It’s hard to compete when your first choice backline is looks like: FB: Knee. Knee. Concussion HB: Groin. Groin. Collarbone emergency (Lewis) to be advised. edit: forgot our forward line: HF: Knee. Soreness. Ankle FF: Foot TMac Jeffy Edited May 13, 2019 by Deeko2 1 1 2 1 Quote

dazzledavey36 56,334 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Did Melksham go back onto the ground after the initial injury?? Quote

Why wouldn’t you take a risk with a best 22 player and a foot injury? This has never ever ended badly. Seriously laughable. 2 Quote

GCDee 3,202 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Just another blight on mission and our medico's how the [censored] do we let a guy with a broken [censored] foot play out a game. Quote
Forest Demon 4,681 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Those who were at the game would have seen this, but I’ve never seen somebody look so lame when he hobbled back on. 2 Quote
What 18,810 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) “Jake’s got a fracture mid-foot which is reasonably significant so he’s probably going to take at least four to five weeks,” Misson said. Get [censored]. We are screwed now. Melk is one of our top 5 most important players. And given Missons pitiful track record with foot injuries, I have zero faith melk will get back at all this season. Edited May 13, 2019 by Petraccattack 1 Quote

I read that he first went off in the third quarter, but the break happened in the fourth quarter. A 15-player injury list is sizeable. On the AFL's website (which is not up to date), St Kilda has 14 players listed but most other clubs are 10-12, and some are much less (e.g. Brisbane has three). More importantly, of the 15, 8 are first choice 22 (Lewis, Lever, Melksham, Hannan, May, Hibberd, AVB, Jetta) and a further 4 (Weideman, JKH, J Smith, KK) who are on the fringe, if not actually best 22. It's tough going for us on this front at the moment. Quote
Billy 2,575 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 What’s going on down there, J Smith does his groin in a practice match comes back on & looks like he’s going to miss up to 16 weeks & now Melksham has a fractured foot & he comes back on. Im surprised Hibberd didn’t play out the game with a broken collarbone Not to mention Viney the last couple of years No wonder Misson leaving at years end, before he gets the sack!!!! 1 Quote
Cards13 9,117 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Yea Mission isn’t a doctor and would have zero say in someone playing on during a game. 1 1 Quote

Bring-Back-Powell 15,548 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 I’m assuming the only reason he came back on was due to rotations. He couldn’t even jog when on the field. Do we sob it up and concede it’s not our year due to injuries or do we draw inspiration off Richmond who are getting it done despite their injury crisis? 1 1 Quote
Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,792 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Ridiculous and utterly predictable, so much so I called it in other thread Now watch the 4-5 weeks blow out to .... wtf knows?? ? Quote

spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 It was ridiculous at the time. He hobbled back on. Melksham is tough but it was not the right call imo. He’s going to be missed. 1 Quote

Lucifers Hero 40,716 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Just to add to our woes, a poster has reported in the Sam Weideman thread that he needs hip surgery ? 1 Quote
chookrat 4,268 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Why the outrage, for all we know going back on the ground may have helped heal Jakey boys foot and reduce time out of the game. Looking forward to the whining from so called doctors on here. 1 Quote
