Hope this is not true but a reminder that you never know whats around the corner.

All the best laid plans of mice and men can come undone very quickly with injury and bad luck. 

Even with strong depth you can never replace the genuine star, particularly a dynamo like Mitchell.

Take care you Demons, may the football gods smile sweetly at you in 2019.

A quick peruse of the Hawks bigfooty page tells you that they think they have no depth. 

Their best player down and they’re calling it ‘season over’ already. 

 


Poor bloke has broken his leg. Report says he will miss the entire season.

That hurts the Hawks a LOT.

Hope he comes back well. Great player.

No one wants to see this happen to any player. We had it with Lever. All of a sudden beating the Hawks has become just a bit easier.

This brings O'Meara & $ullky to the fore in their 2019 season.

Scully will be very lucky to get on the park in 2019

We can NEVER underestimate the Hawks as a club.  They will fire up for us.

This is what I'm hinting/alluding to.   Both those stars are hindered.   As are Burgoyne by age, and Roughy by age, as well.


As much as I dislike Hawthorn, it's still horrible seeing this happen to a player. Hawks are going to struggle mightily without him. 

Seems like an innocuous training drill. 

To pull or strain a muscle, even injure your knee can always happen, but breaking a leg is strange. Usually caused by a collision or forceful impact. Breaking a bone is not easy to do.

Seems surprising given the circumstances. 

I wonder if it will affect his leg speed, not that he was tat fast to start with.  I remember Nathan Brown was never the same after his break.  Though I'm not sure how the two compare in severity?

It will severely dent their chances this year as they transition from their older players to the next group.  Scully will be interesting as I think he was taken on as a longer project and not expected to play a lot this year.

 

 


Does a year seem a long time for a broken leg? I thought they generally came on quicker than that.

They will miss him. Really bad loss. Hope something like that doesn't happen to us.

I wish Tom a full recovery, but i shall enjoy watching Whorethorn a man down all year. 

That jumper has inflicted so much arrogant pain on me over many years....

Leverage can be a powerful force. The wrong angle and even the slightest of acute pressure can end in many ways.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    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.
