Poor Hore, how you tear a quad muscle while in the gym?! Crap luck.

Not ideal about Petty, but this year is a right off anyway, so hopefully the surgery can fix the issue for the long term.

    No excuses on the injury front. 

     

    Not even sure it would be as high as 105.

    Most of those games are probably Kolo! 

    We are struggling with every best 22 player available,  not a good look!

    Agree. I was thinking this probably our strongest line up.  No excuses. The performance against the Cats was very disappointing.

    The Herald Sun is reporting that Tom McDonald has been cleared of serious damage to his injured eye and could be back on field against Hawthorn on Sunday after he was taken to hospital as a precaution and found to have a scratched eyeball. The eye area remains quite bruised and closed over and will be monitored by club medical staff during the week. McDonald will be on light duties for the next few days, but the Demons hope he can return to training later in the week and is a chance to play against the Hawks at Giants’ Stadium.

    Tom's eye will be fine provided he didn't watch the Sydney-Richmond game.

    I've actually had my eyeball given a good scratch once when a freak'n lunatic magpie lark (pee-wee) decided my face was it's enemy.  Didn't feel much, went ahead to attend a uni lecture, but started noticing people were giving me funny looks.  Went to wash it out in the bathrooms and after one double-take glance in the mirror I sprinted down the the medical centre where they jumped me right ahead of the queue - basically I had an outer eye completely layered with blood, deep pure red everywhere that should be white, and bulging. I shouldn't say sprinted - I actually moved with haste but not so much exertion because I honestly was worried my eyeball would burst if my pulse lifted.

    Strangely, it never affected my vision, I didn't feel much pain, and was completely fine in a couple of days.  I had to get a bunch of booster shots on account of the rabid pee-wee - I don't know if the same applies to Gold Coast players.

    Tmcd should be fine to play. Scratch (corneal abrasion) heals in about 3 days. It’s very painful and first 24 hours is a lot of weeping of the eye and sensitivity to light (needed the patch).

    I’ve had a scratched cornea and it is excruciating

    I can’t imagine playing footy a week after copping it; super painful

    Looking through each clubs injury list we are in the unusual position of being one of the best placed clubs.  most teams are missing around 4 quality best 22 players.

    The Covid-Cup will be ours!

    Same. Very unpleasant injury. I was surprised at how long it took them to patch it up for him, he was sitting on the bench for ages with nothing but his jacket hood covering up the eye. Taping the bugger shut is the only way to get any relief.

    the commentators also said it was a scratched Retina! 

    which is quite difficult unless you have very long nails and excellent aim

    It is true the bloke that got TMac in the eye actually dislocated his finger while doing so?   It was mentioned on some show earlier in week, but I was only half listening.

    If it was the 2018 TMc out then that would be a monster loss. Even though he was starting to show something last week he shouldn’t be too difficult to replace

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
