Paddy Mcartin's concussion problems stem from a neck problem.

Did some research and it’s quite complicated by the sounds of it. 
Not ‘technically’ a concussion from a brain injury but all the similarities in symptoms.

    Loving hearing AvB training really well, was hoping Hannan would be the same but fingers crossed the fitness team can get him out on the park.

    Also happy to hear some positive reports about Weid. If he gets a clean run at it then this has to be the year things start to click, our forward line was so impotent last year so we need TMac and Weid to find the form from the end of 2018 that contributed to us being so high scoring.

    Also just a quick one, any reason why Melksham was a no show? For me he is one of our most important players.

    His brother Tom had similar problems, I will leave it at that as I don't wish to divulge too much, but one can now play as the other has ongoing issues.

    Not sure if you realise that facts aren't welcome on social networks in this post-truth world. Consider yourself admonished.

    With the ‘explosive pace’ and ‘Dangerfield at the same age’ comparison I think Older Demon was referring to our SA recruit Tom Sparrow

    Agree, you have surgery on a muscle bit of scare tissue and it is just waking everything up.  He will have tight calves and need to manage them.  He is the cream on a pretty good trade and draft period, no essential but a big bonus if he does get through 

    I imagine his lower legs will take quite some time to adjust and strengthen,  now some bits have been removed.  It will change almost everything in his lower legs,  and all tissues will need to re-adjust..

    Maybe it will be next year to see any real improvements.?

    Was hoping Hannan would get a good pre season in, seems not to be the case. 
     

    Fingers crossed he can get back in the main group ASAP. 

    I think Hannan is always going to be a week to week proposition for us now,  with his knee issue.

    OD was referring to Sparrow, not AVB, and I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure it was Bernie Vince who compared him to Dangerfield last year

    That would make a lot more sense!

    The amusing thing at training is the players,  if they are in the opposing team to AVB, trying not to be in his vicinity

    I'd say that's some smart behaviour on their part.

    Yep, definitely Bernie during a preseason fluff interview on SEN.  He was involved with our preseason training and was asked which recruit was standing out. Got me pretty excited about the kid, especially when he was picked so early on in the season.  Hopefully the non-fairy tale first season works in his favour and Sparrow has a great career.

    You can see it this pic.

    Dunkley looks like he's just spotted a white pointer and he's done, meanwhile his teammate (is that Bedford?) is looking on like he's a gonna...

    • 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.
