Injury List 2020

H Petty indefinite! A groin, are we talking osteopubis? And I note AVB still working toward full fitness! After what 10 months to get fit we still have 5 on the injury list plus AVB still working toward selection. Oh well to be expected as our usual year on year injury list average always seems to be around 10 to 12.  

To be fair, two of those 5 were always going to be out for the entire season, even with the long break. 
Petty is obviously an injury that requires patience as it keeps returning. Similar to Smith, who now appears to have recovered. 
Hore is an unfortunate training incident and AVB is a goner. 
 

We are in a damn good position. None of the guys on the injury list are walk up best 22 players. Yes Petty would probably get a game this week if he was fit. But he is not the difference between a win or loss each week. If we can keep this size list of injuries for the rest of the year, we are a massive chance.

All in all, pretty good with all players around the best 25 available for next week.

I’m interested in how KK is going and wonder what he is up to at present and how one rehabs from concussion issues.

I was a big big fan of his after his second year, thought he was the second coming of Corey Enright. Such a shame if we never see him reach his potential.

Has he even been training with the rest of the boys?

It is brutal but KK is probably finished for his own sake there is a lot more to life than football.

The silence is deafening with KK, I honestly think we’re keeping him on the list because it makes little difference either way to us and at least he then has access to doctors who can help him. No updates at all over the last 6-8 months surely means little progress is being made.

Sadly I think you are correct.

Agree. I think his cerebral health is crucial and I hope the Dees support him through with access to medical professionals. It’s unfortunate but his footy career is likely to be over.

And I'll just add I'm not saying what I said to be callus, I really wish the best for him but as you've said his health is so much more important and it looks from the outside as though the club is doing all they can to help him with this.

Probably correct. I’d imagine he will be one of the first delisted at the end of year.

he has another year on his contract  ...end 2021

seriously, this is a little mahoney-land mine quietly just hidden in the middle of the list,  don't get me wrong still hopeful of KK making it back but Gold Coast knew how bad it was and did the classic hospital handball.

Interested to know if Melksham ha a niggle, im always one to point out how lazy the guy can be but R2 was beyond a joke how often he was edge of TV screen walking in space making no impact.....

I think the last year will get payed out.

Or, if he can't get his body right, he may just retire anyway.

I didn't mind the contract at the time - give the bloke some security while he gets himself right - and he was only a 'steak knives' addition to our list as part of the May trade anyway.  It was always high risk, high reward stuff, and unfortunately this one might come off.  But, to me, it hasn't really cost us anything, so it was worth a try for a player who could have been very handy for us if he could get over the concussion.

I'm not sure how many "high risk, high reward" cases clubs should be taking, especially if list sizes diminish. But if the Bennell deal provides the high rewards we hope for - and so far, so good - it might help people understand the KK strategy better.

Hore might be unlikely for the rest of the year if he keeps getting these injuries. Might be best to just put him on ice for the year and have him focus on 2021.

Isnt there a rule that says he can only be put on it twice before things start to go pair shaped?

On a serious not that's terrible news for this young fella.  Here's to a speedy full recovery.  May he return bigger and better.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
