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.

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
