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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
