He had several concussion episodes in the 18 months before the brick incident, which was in 2017 preseason.

 

 On a side note, just read that Paddy McCartin has been put on the LTI list and still can't train.  Really sad for him.

 So while it is disappointing to lose Salem today I'm glad the club is being cautious, especially with his history.

Concussion symptoms come and go.  He may have been fine a few days ago but not today.

Even if he hadn't fully recovered by selection time, I reckon the club hoped he would be good by game time.

 Either way we did the right thing to wait till the last minute and to pull him out when found to not be ok. 

I hope McCartin retires. It seems negligent if someone doesnt ask him to pull the pin. 

KK one more away from retiring too surely.

    Better hurry up and get to the ground folks. Only 20 minutes until the first bounce and there's only 90, 95 thousand seats left.

    Looks empty. 

    Minus 2 of the usuals today as I’m overseas. Still watching tho.

    Bizarre. 9 days as well. Surely it wasn't just a "wait and see how you wake up oj game day"? If he was still showing symptoms after 6-7 days it's a given he isn't playing. The FD is a joke. 

    Ever heard of giving a player every chance to play?

    I was contemplating which game to go to today when I heard the news on radio changed direction and now at Willy. Weather not too bad so far considering we are taking about this ground. I thought I would gain more watching a few of the injured coming back.

    I’m done with Stretch.

    We got away with two HTBs then. Umps might be on our side today.


    What have we done to improve our clear issues this year? Because it seems we are just bringing in poor user after poor user 

    How many weeks in a row do we have to watch the same Cr ap fwd 50 entries/turn overs... 


    FMD they look in a different league. If they could kick it would be game over already. 

    Melbourne, I understand the rationale behind this but we CANNOT play the kick-mark game. Our only hope is to move it quick, if there's turnovers doing that so be it. Rather that than a 10 second mark and long kick to the opposition

    Serious Question 

    Do MFC Players learn anything at training?

    this is on repeat since Round 1....

    • 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.
