Isn’t the only way to get match fit to play footy games? 

I was concerned he might be underdone too but only from a touch/form/confidence perspective. As far as I can see there’s no evidence whatsoever that he wasn’t ready from an injury recovery point of view. People are flying off the handle without having the facts at hand, as usual.

I wasnt flying off the handle, as i said, i only went off what a teammate said.. so its reasonable to assume there might be something to it.

    Evidence that Lever was “rushed back”, please? I thought he had been in full training for months before he returned.

    Well we are sitting 3rd last on the ladder so naturally every minor problem is the result of the clubs incompetence. Remember May was also rushed back underdone but he played well and is playing this week so we forgot about that one

    If he misses this week with soreness in the same knee that was rehabilitated after playing only 3/4s of a VFL game over 3 weeks that would be evidence in my opinion. Obviously the year out and the training period seemed patient enough, but then to be recalled to the much greater speed and impact of AFL level footy on such limited match play makes it seem like they rushed the final stage.

     Playing 90% game time would have had an impact also. Played less than that in total for the previous 3 weeks. The Frost concussion would have been part of that equation of course, but that seems a pretty clear picture to me.

     

    Pretty sure it was a game and a half.

    Going a bit by memory here, but fairly sure he played 70% game time in his first VFL game, less than 10 minutes in his second before the ankle injury and then didn't play at all in the 3rd week.

    Take this as you will because it's been passed on by literally a mate who knows someone who knows someone (I know, I know), but what I've heard is it's a bone on bone issue in the same knee he injured previously, caused by a knock in the first quarter of the QB game. Could potentially miss more than a week, but similar to Edmund's report it's not a structural issue and it's not major or season ending by any stretch.

    Rumour at this stage of course, but the mate who passed it on only passes on good info generally.

    Thanks lord for passing on the info. 

    We can not catch a break. This season has been one of the most frustrating seasons I can remember and that’s saying something considering what we have been through.

    So what you’re saying, is that it might have nothing whatsoever to do with being “rushed back” (from a 12 month rehab) and might just be bad luck? You could knock me down with a feather!

    (Sorry if it seems like I’m picking on you - I’m not, just frustrated by the general tone in this thread. Thanks for passing on the info.)

    Haha yep, absolutely could be that (pending accuracy of information), almost thought of not passing it on as I was expecting a possible wack from you!

    However, also could have been caused due to the lack of preparation given it seems likely it was the incident where he was very slow to react and was tackled awkwardly with contact to his knee. One of those 'open to interpretation' things that come up so often in footy I guess.

    So you could say his rehab was all fine but his preparation was not (if that kind of makes sense).

    I think because the new guy is an actual doctor he has to respect patient confidentiality...

    Continues the trend of us fielding well below our best side each week, while the opposition field close to their strongest side. Then to rub salt into the wound, the opposition lose their best players against us, making it easier for their next opponents to beat them.

    Add that to our pathetic skills and you have season 2019.

    What's really troubling is when the opposition lose players during a game against us and we still can't beat them when they have reduced rotations because of it. How often does that happen!

    In fairness Collingwood probably had as many best 22 out as us on QBday.

    Takes me back the infamous Melbourne V GWS game in 2014 (Roos's first year) when they didn't have a fit player on the bench in the last quarter but still out scored us: 5-1 to 1-5.

    I’m convinced the club is cursed... I can see lever having knee issues , gave up the farm for him and as usual just another disaster for the mfc

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
