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.

    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!

    Tom Sparrow looks a lot like a young Todd Viney if you ask me in pic 1

    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
