That's what I thought. I could've sworn I saw the number 45 running around after the clash.

If that's what happened to Brock, then that's up there as the most disastrous start imaginable...

Im 100% that Wheels came back on...but i only saw him running once after the hit. At least he came back on. The Saintsational site say he broke his jaw but that is unconfirmed and no reports like that have been made. As for McLean...i definatly heard he did his foot and he was on the bench in crutches however the source on MMM is questionable and im sure Dr Larkins will make a comment come tomorrow or Sunday footy Show. McLean is definatly injured tho. Unknown how long, i took a guess cause it takes around that time for fixing it and getting some prac game time. Who knows but crutches look bad

10 weeks.... great.... this night really couldn't get much worse :(

Urrgh......

Good grief I hope not, this was, and is, bad enough :angry:

Whelan came back on, then straight off again. Some sort of neck injury apperantly.

Well, hopefully he will be ok (and I am trying to find something to make glass is a little full here......)

And thanks for the updates guys, such as they are :( !!!

Yeah, just watched the replay :o

It looked to me like Brock dropped and kicked the ball oddly as a result of the bump. The ball drifted further forward on his foot than it would normally, and from what little I can tell, it put too much pressure on too little area around the toe part of his foot. It looked like it hyperextended a little, and when he was on the bench with the physio poking around, it seemed he was inspecting that part of his foot. It sounds like a silly little thing, but that's all I could see that might have caused it. Once it happened he was enourmously distressed and still tried to run to CHB to contest the next opposition thrust into their forward 50. When he finally made his way to the bench he was in as bad a way as I can remember him being.

Tough.

My hope is that there's little or no structural damage, and perhaps it was just a tendon/sprain thing. Honestly though, I'm preparing for the worst.

As for reports, Davey smacked Baker in the head and apologised afterwards. Umpire siad it was a free and nothing else, so that's some hope, and he did do it more or less with his forearm.

Whelan may get something ONLY because there was damage to the head of Ball. It was totally fair, and an accident, but that's never stopped the panel from rubbing guys out. Apparently it was whiplash that had Whelan off the ground.

Montagna was being hassled by Trav in the last and turned with a clenched fist and thumped Trav as hard as he could in the chest. Could be worth a look. But who knows?

I'm hoping for some sort of small miracle, and hoping it's only a sprain.

Having sprained my hand quite badly on Wednesday, it certainly feels like a break and is just as painful.

I didn't see the accident, but if his foot slipped as you say, he may not have had enough force there to actually break it. I'm not a doctor though, and knowing our luck, he's probably smashed it to bits and will be out for 3 months. :(

Heaven help us if it's as bad as they think.

They were icing the injury so it may not actually be a break.... but if he has torn the ligaments then he looking at a fairly lengthy lay off anyway. This injury will certainly test the depth of our midfield group.

well if he has ruptured the ligaments, he is still looking at atleast 4 weeks on the sidelines. It has happened to myself and I could not even wiggle my toes for 6 weeks, let alone walk, let alone run.

If he can get fit quick and stay that way.....this may be Sylvia's chance....

I agree.

It was a clash of heads.

The fact that Whelan had a cut to his head proves this.

Surely they can't suspend someone over a clash of heads.

the tribunal have categorically said that gia's bump on kossi last year where they clashed heads would result in a suspension ... draw from that what you will

FWIW i agree with you, but looking at it objectively, it doesn't look good

Dr Smooth from MMM has stated that Brock has been cleared of any ligiment damage. He will have a CT on monday and may only be out for 3-4 weeks.

WOW!

So what does that mean? Obviously there's no break in the bones.

Does this equate to a sprain?

Great news. Crutches worried me and hopefully this is the extent of it. Mononey to fill in his shoes. Any news on Wheels and duration out?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
