Surprised there's not a thread on this.

On the captains run, Angus explained his injury, and yes i am no medical expert, but that sounds like a pretty horrific injury that he's got going? Mentions that it's in and around his Lisfranc which is what pretty much killed Jack Trengoves career.

With our history of significant foot injuries and most not able to get back to their very best, it makes you wonder we'll see Angus back to his 2018 form.

 

Have we been suffering these kinds of injuries more than other clubs? It certainly feels like it. Mitch clark, Trengove, Hogan, Viney, TMac now Angus. I'm sure there's others in there as well, maybe Dunn?

The lisfranc is an absolute crock of an injury to get over and has hampered a lot of good players medium to long term. I think Sloane a couple of years back was the most recent to really struggle with it. Daniel Wells missed nearly a whole season, finished Dane Swan's career and I think even Mitch Clark had troubles with it. It's been likened to a car crash injury, I don't know how severe Gus' is but hopefully it can be managed, does worry me though.

I thought trenners issue was the navicular? 

Clark had the lisfranc issues from memory..

As per Wiki - Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin was a pioneering French surgeon and gynecologist. He pioneered a number of operations including removal of the rectum..... Somehow I feel this might be a procedure intricately linked with the fate of many Melbourne supporters, possibly as early as tomorrrow. The only solution, a new one must be torn. Enter Razor Ray Chamberlain.

Add Aaron vandenBerg to your list.

What did Trengove in was the surgery being botched and the screw cracking the bone in his foot again, which was discovered when he was exploring Richmond as an option.

I think if that surgery had gone the right way, he would have had a chance of reaching his potential.

Different injury to Trengove. Not as serious.

The Lisfrac is the one where some athletes snap it on purpose by jumping and landing flat footed  to get relief.

Angus will be fine.

 

Incorrect you're thinking of plantar fascitis.

Nope. That's for plantar fasciiitis. Lisfranc injuries are known to have a huge impact on players performance, dane Swan a recent example. Gus said he should be training 2021 pre season but im doubtful

I was thinking lisfranc was that tendon they snap along the bottom of the foot when its a bone....  yeah Im an [censored].

That very uninteresting Open Mic with Trenners did seem to indicate that, I believe he said he was on the path to recovery and then when he did his medical with Richmond revealed the complications that had happened. That guy had such rotten luck. 

Fingers crossed this injury with Gus isn’t as serious as Mitch Clark’s (I have no idea whether there can be severity with such an usual part of the body). The good news is we have Burgess not Misson looking after him. 

I had the same injury a few years back and it’s horrendous.  1 operation to get it repaired with some metal put in and then another op a few months later to have it all removed. 
The recovery is torture as you are bedridden for the first 2 weeks and then cant weight bear for months. From what he said on the captains he would be back running by the start of the pre-season  but won’t be able to do anything prior to that which is going to put him back. 

Didn’t know he suffered this type of injury and am worried now. I expect him to have another down season in 2021 and fear we have seen his best already.

Hopefully it makes those who think Viney is dispensable rethink their position

From memory after Gus did it he was clear in saying it was ligaments in that area and not a broken bone. I know the two are joined, but if the bone is intact the outcome should look better, I would have thought. Does this sound right?

I'd like to hear what @Webber 's thoughts are on this. TIA

Yep. Quicker healing if it is purely just a ligamentous injury

I had been quietly blaming the sprinklers at Casey. I guess that doesn't fly in this case. 

Not worried... yet.

I'll wait and see how his pre-season and recovery goes before I start thinking the world is coming to an end.

Yeah. Can’t blame Casey or Gosh for this year. 

 

He will be listed at 4 to 6 which we know he means his career is finished 

Hopefully they get it right the first time. So many of our recurrent issues have been when they've deferred surgery and then rushed players back. At least Gus has time on his side to rehab from surgery, get it right and then get back to fitness.

And honestly it could be a blessing in disguise because  he's been slow and overweight for years now IMO.

Might be a chance to fully rebuild his body and mind.

If he returns with a frame like his younger brother he'll start playing better footy.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
