one small plus is that it should not limit his running and other fitness work.

Perhaps a phantom like mask and he can even join in light contact training in a week or so.

He'll be a big loss for sure but i think we can manage in the meantime. 

Although not the circumstances i would choose the best time to bring a young player in is when the team is winning and confidence is high. This is the perfect time to introduce Petty and get a few games into him. Hopefully he can find his feet against the Hawks and be ready to handle Reiwoldt and Lynch with Tomlinson. 

Hopefully May is back for Round 8 to match up on Buddy. He is still a terrific player and manhandled Aaron Francis last Thursday. As good as Tomlinson was yesterday on Hawkins I would fear for him against Franklin.

 

doesn't matter which player comes in, they will come in and work within a system and its the system that will cover the loss of May.  don't think I have ever been able to think this as Melbourne supporter before


No recovery required.  Get it done Goody...

That is exactly what i was thinking!!!

“Back in Black”

 

With Mitch Lewis suspended for next week, we may not need to replace May this week with a tall.We might bring in Hibberd to gain AFL fitness but I would bring in Petty or Daw to go up against Lynch .I would bring back May to play against Swans if fit, he may have to borrow a helmet from Bradshaw

I agree with the comment on the previous page re any player coming in becomes part of our system, but continuity is priceless. I believe we can/should beat Hawthorn easily but Richmond is another challenge all together, but they are gettable. if Petty is to come in for a block of games until May returns it must start this weekend.

This is where the AFL's thinking is so out of touch.  So at one minute to midnight prior to season starting, it introduces a hitherto untrialled sub.  It is my understanding that initially it was supposed to be for concussion but then it was also ammended to cover all injuries?

Then in it's wisdom, having many months to consider, it allows a delay to the start of the VFL comp.  In many ways a feeder comp for many AFL clubs, where potential replacements for injured players are able to gain fitness and form, until week 6 of the AFL competition.

While i am not surprised with such strange decision making by the AFL any longer is it just me that is perplexed at their ad hoc methods and strange management style?

Petty will play, he will need a proper AFL hitout before we take on Richmonds twin towers and we just dont know when May is back.

i wonder how quickly eye socket fractures heal

do they need surgery or is it just a question of rest and heal itself naturally?

I fractured my eye socket in January it took a week from swelling to go completely and around 3 for the fracture to heal.

Depends on how much it is displaced from its normal configuration but also whether one of the muscles that move the eye is trapped. 
So, horses for courses.

Your name is painfully accurate for this topic mono, thanks for the info.

yeah i looked up eye orbital fractures

hoping it's just an orbital rim fracture and not some of the other options

as they mentioned 2-4 weeks recovery and no mention of cleanup operations this may be the case

Yep, he said it was???

If we can get through this period without May that will speak volumes for our system. 

It's not earth shattering to suggest I think it could cost us the Richmond game at least and maybe even the Sydney game.

I think Petty will be a good intercept defender in time, but I worry that he's too inexperienced for Lynch or Riewoldt and second game back it will be a big challenge.

But I thought we'd lose to Geelong, so what would I know?

Looks like Mayzies other eye has gone out in sympathy!  Alternatively, he has consumed an entire bottle of “liquid sedative”.

FWIW the doctors in my family reckon a minimum of 3 games missed based on their guess that it is a likely a “floor” fracture rather than a “rim” fracture but no firm diagnosis can be made until all of the swelling goes down.

Lots of Panadiene Forte!!

forgive my medical ignorance but although the eye socket will repair itself in 3-4 weeks does that mean it is ready for physical contact sport.

The AFL rules forbid many medical guards on the basis that they pose injury risks to other players

  • 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.
