Never thought I'd be saying this after the first few rounds of the season, but we will really miss having Hibberd in the side if he does miss this week.  I think it would be sensible to give him this game off so he can be cherry ripe for the Freo match, but he has been terrific since making his way back into the side.

 

Makes his effort in coming back on and laying a crucial tackle even more valiant.

I must have missed something - what is the nature of Angus' foot tendon injury?  

Was it an in game impact or some chronic strain?

 

Also any inside info on how Jackson has been training and / or scratch matches?

Burgo's replacement seems pretty bullish around us making finals with Jones' prognosis.

I'd have termed it Season rather than 1 week. Even if we do make the finals.

 

In the 'Captain's Run' Gus said his foot is a lisfranc injury.  Says he heard it pop in the Sydney game and it would have been better to not have come back on.

Expects to be ready to run at the start of the preseason.

This is a relief. I was worried that he'd miss a chunk of it given the duration.


We've had a really good run with injury this year compared to other sides as well as our previous seasons.

Really hope it continues next year as it should allow us to once again contend for the 8.

The lisfranc injury sounds familiar, I thought that was the one that Mitch Clark had with us (hopefully if ti is it's a significantly lower severity).

Dees

Brayshaw ? 

Jones ?

Bombers

Mcgrath ?

Fantasia ?

Heppell ?

 

Apart from these blokes, both teams have probably best part of best 22 available.  I think we left Sparrow Harmes Jackson out due to maintaining winning team  

 

We’ve had a fairly good run with injury this year. The best we’ve had I  a fair few years.

Im not sure if I should feel good about this, or very annoyed about sitting firmly in the middle of the road given the circumstances.

Just a shoulder clean out for Clarry. Shouldn't cause him too much grief over the pre season.

How many off-season surgeries do we have this year?

Apparently had a second shoulder reconstruction, first one didn't repair as they would have liked.

Played the majority of the year in pain with it.

So which one is it?

I really wish there was more transparency from the club in regards to injuries and in particular post season surgeries. Afterall post season surgeries were blamed for our poor 2019 season.

I'm not suggesting that detailed medical histories be released but it would be nice to be reassured that we are not going to go into the preseason as the walking wounded.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
