Wow. Lever Garlett injured over the bye weekend. ย Did we run out of cotton wool !ย 

Hibberd is fair enough. He came back too early and clearly wasnโ€™t right. ย Needs to get his collarbone settled. ย 

It may be the last of Jeffy gย

Quiet a statement there.

Seems fairly loud to me.

    Hahahahahahaha, I was *waiting* for the Hibberd came back too early call. I donโ€™t even need to read this forum to know what people are going to say. I think Iโ€™ve been here far too long.

    And Lever got injured in the Collingwood game.

    You could argue the following though:

    - Hibberd's plate coming detached could be because it hadn't healed properly.

    - Lever's impact injury could have been caused by his lack of acclimatization to the speed and impact of match day.

    Just saying...

    It feels like it! Just getting it all out of the way before next years shot. ?

    Doesnโ€™t sound like the Hibberd or Lever injuries are too serious, thankfully. I really want that backline to get a good run at playing together. It looked promising against Collingwood.

    Not leather poisoning.

    Pretty uninspiring selections.

    My confidence in this team is the lowest itโ€™s been for a couple of seasons.

    So who will we draft with pick 1?

    Some poor little bustard who will have his boyhood dreams ripped from his soul and who will cry himself to sleep every bloody night when he hears he's going to the MFC.

    Plates donโ€™t heal. The bones heal. The likelihood of the plate being bumped out doesnโ€™t change with rest.

    Your comment on Lever is drawing an extremely long bow.

    Or could it have been when someone (canโ€™t remember who) ran across his leg in an attempt to smotherย the ball, on QB?

    T mac still playing??? take him out of his and our misery for the love of god

    and Petty in? he must do a lot at training coz he has looked poor at AFL level.ย  I'd play Keilty at the back before Petty

    Fair enough, I don't know much about the intricacies of a collar bone plate repair. From what I've heard though, it's a 4-8 week recovery for civilians, so he did come back quite quick for someone playing a high impact sport.

    On Lever, I'm not saying it's the cause, but the incident in which his knee was injured was when he was just not up to the speed of the game. Watching the replay it was even commented on at the time that he was not ready for the speed of AFL. My point is just that the contest he was injured in may not have happened if he had had more match time leading up to his return.

    And in the end, I'm not trying to make it sound like that's how it is, just saying you could potentially argue those things.

    That's the point I'm making mate. See my post above for more clarity about that.

    You could potentially argue anything. But you continually to "potentially argue" that players came back too early.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
