I wonder if this was pre-incident? @kev martin @DeeSpencer

 

Yes, pre-incident. It happened about 15 to 20 minutes before the end of the full session. I think he will be ok as he wasn't making much of it. He also waited around for his mates to finish up.

PS. They all went off to eat lunch together at a buffet.

    Only on Demonland can you get such detailed reports.

    I beg to differ. If it was a detailed report we'd not only know where they went for lunch but what each person had. And who paid.

    I thought it was listed as groin.

    You could be  are right. From MFC Website Harry Petty (groin) pulled up sore from last week’s game

    I haven't noticed anything (injury wise) for this year but I thought he missed the last two games with a knee injury. Others may be able to clarify.

    Baker has a groin injury and hopes to resume straight after X-mas.

    Spargo injured his ankle ligament last Friday - unless he did them badly, should be back next week.

    I think Petty had a minor knee clean-up post-season.

    Not sure why Smith wasn't there, but he looked really strong last Friday. He has bulked up more and was working with backs - if fit will play on Jack Darling in Rd 1 IMO.

    Most impressive today was Ed Langdon - ran hard, kicked well and looked eager.

    Today's technical whinge:

    Steve May skills more marks than he should because he doesn't get his hands close enough together and he also doesn't allow enough cushion by way of bending his elbows. Locking your elbows makes your arms stiff and heavy, keeping them bent allows for more movement and you can pluck the ball from the air.

    Weid's and Tommy Mc have far better technique.

    I'm not quibbling with your technical description (I wouldn't know), but are you confident from a still image that you can draw that particular conclusion?

    Moonlighting, working behind the counter, to get that inside info, huh, Saty?  Well done!

    • 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.
