Would be amazed if this adversely influenced his season start. Looks in great nick otherwise. 

Really? You are an avid follower of this club Webber and you can’t see how this could possibly go pear shaped for Gus? Given our injury history I’d be amazed if he still has two arms by Rnd 1.

    Same here. 3mnths for me and still have little strength in arm...I'm maybe 2.5x Brayshaws age....

    Also around the 3 month mark. 
     

    It sucks because I haven’t been able to bench the usual 140kg limit for a while now. ?

    Not sure if it’s been said anywhere but lockhart left early after talking with staff about his hamstring.

    Gus injury..

    They say that as long as the player has done the full pre Xmas training, they’re mostly set up for the season. So hopefully this won’t particularly affect his season if it’s the 4 weeks they’re quoting.

    The arm is a trial. Pretty soon all limbs will be similarly fitted so that Goody can remotely control from the coaches box (or the bunker)! Look forward to all players running out for Round 1 if it proves a success.

    An arm brace on Clarry to control whether he handballs or drops it onto the boot and a remote controlled leg braces for Gus to make him run the other way. Genius!

    I’ve said that in another thread. 
    Completely agree.

    I'd be happy to hit a golf ball...

    @McQueen and @jnrmac - interested to know how each of you got this injury?

    Started with tennis and worsened by hitting too many golf balls...

    Lady at the scarf collection said the boys at Melksham’s wedding will have a mini training session up in Byron then fly straight to Maroochydore. 

    Also,  membership as of this morning is at 30,278. A bit less than this time last year but on par with 2018. Overall, club is happy with the renewals so far.

    I’ve already renewed everyone in my family, irrespective of whether they actually support (or have heard of) the club.

    A good mate of mine just had a son two days ago. My mate’s a passionate Blues supporter. There’ll be an MFC Baby Dee membership on its way to his house for little Leo within the week.

    Got to get em early.

    • 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.
