Someone needs to cut off the head of whatever evil serpent is lurking around the club i reckon....

If Lever is playing for Casey this weekend (like I believe Goody said in his presser) why is he listed as 1-2 still?

I think Demonland's injury is fake news.

Having trouble cut and pasting it but  according to the MFC site at 10:24 am this morning Lever is a test, Hannan in 1 week and Hibberd is two weeks. Unfortunately Melk is 4-5 so no joy there.

That may be in reference to fitness to play senior football.  By the way Goodwin describes it, sounds like he’ll just be making a cameo at Casey this weekend.

Unfortunately our depth as been shown up as poor at best, with a few exceptions.  Maybe in part for the exact opposite reasons?

Really?  We have 10 to 15 injuries and we've won our last two games, one against the Hawks who just knocked off the Giants. 

I reckon our depth is doing pretty well.

so bang on half of what i think of as our 'best 26 man squad' is currently listed as injured...

B: Jetta - May - Hibberd
HB: Salem - Lever - Lewis
? Viney - Jones - Brayshaw
HF: Petracca - T Mac - vandenBerg
F: Preuss - Weideman - Melksham
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes
I/c: Hannan - Hunt - Fritsch - J Smith
Emerg: Spargo - Kolodjashnij - Frost - Kennedy Harris

Frost and Hore have been almost our best defenders and you cant find a place for them??

Frost for J Smith 

Hore for Lewis (who is almost done) 

Lockhart, Jeffy ( although hasnt done much still gets in dangerous territory and is only 2-3 Goals away from finding good form) !?

Sorry Whatwhats aywhat respect ur post but needs a rethink!

Hibberd 2 weeks after Broken collarbone ?? Nar double at least that

By depth i'm talking about players we could bring in to replace those badly out of form prior to our change of game style from Rnd 7 against the Hawks.  We had to keep playing many of those out of form hoping for a turn around but until the 10 day circuit breaker re-set of game style / structure by Goody & the FD into the Hawks match, you can't say we were doing well surely?

There's still no obvious in form depth player to cover the likes of an out of form T-Mac or Weid. Hibb and Spargo.  We had to bring in Jeffy to hopefully provide some crumbing goal scoring up forward but he's so out of form he still hasn't fired a shot (1 goal in three matches) and who was never in form at VFL level to start with...but very few alternatives.  No direct replacements for an out of form Tracc, ANB (prior to his one solid performance against the Hawks which is hopefully a great sign of a turn around) and a continuing out of form Oscar.   We might have snatched one or two more wins had we had similar depth to the Tiges to replace some of these roles early.  We didn't and went 1 - 5 following that match and in a world of trouble prior to the 10 day break.  The Tiges came in with a very similar injury issue to us....we lost.

We have managed to piece together a vagabond team and change the structure / set ups to prevent the opp sling shoting over the back as per previously on the G, which is working so far.  Most of our mids were in form and have picked up even further since the Richmond game as well.   A credit to them and those that didn't falter or even upped their output on 2018 (eg., Salem, Clarry, Harmes, Frosty, Melk, Hunt, Maxy & JWags).  A credit to Goody & the FD for changing things up and winning the last two backs against the wall.   All good and happy with that.  Just saying, had we had the extra depth to replace 'a few more' of those who were badly out of form earlier in the season we might have done a little better and now be sitting either just in or just outside the eight.

Nah,  its about a 2 week'r...   2 - 3 weeks.

Hibbo's apparently broke clean thru into 3 bits...  so that might make it 3 weeks.

2 weeks would be fairly tough I reckon, with a couple of breaks in the collarbone...  but its plated, so ????

Hogan missed just the 2 games with a busted collarbone in 2017. I’ll take their word on that one.

I hope Melksham’s 4-5 weeks is actually 4-5 weeks.

If it changes to 4-6 then it’s the season.

Wasn't  that a fabulous finish for a 6 gamer DG!  A rookie that's showing some real impact early.  Very nice prospect  indeed DG and a good news story this year.  Flying under the radar so far too!

I remember Rob Flower broke one in about round 9 and missed the rest of the season!. Dont think it was plated though, dont think they did that procedure in the 80ts?

Can't work out whether this means:

1. Bring a TV evangelist to Australia to work some form of miracle cure invoking his imaginary friend; or
2. Send an Australian-based TV evangelist offshore to remove the curse that person has placed on the club.

Either way, though, sounds like a plan.

Unsure if this is next level whipping or you genuinely think O Mac’s leg twisting under the tackle didn’t cause him any pain.

4-5 weeks is a rebrand of the old 4-6 week injury which is usually season ending and then causes problems for at least the next season. It's a change that Gary Pert made to stamp his name on our Footy Department and show he means business.

Yeah, i recall.   I think your right,  about the plating of collarbones,  back then. Its about a two week turnaround these days. but I'm not sure in this case with the collarbone broken clean thru with tow breaks.?

I guess it all depends on the mid section size of the broken part...  how far apart the breaks are.?
