I think we can officially say that the next 7 days are going to push us all over the edge. This time next week I will undoubtably be having a complete full blown breakdown regardless of the results. 
 

Have you already called in sick for the next 2 weeks Jaded.... next week for the panic attacks and emergency department visits for the heart attacks

The following week for the party at home (or the major depression episode obviously dependent on results)

Delighted no issue with Spargo.

Reading through this thread has not been good for the MFCSS.

Geez, Charlie finding a way to give me heart palpitations during a 'bye'...

I’m just so excited to see us play in a Geand Final.

I was way more nervous last week.

I'm always happy that no matter my emotion, there's a 2:25 minutes or less Ramones song that perfectly encapsulates the feeling.

Spargo would have been covered by Melksham.  Glad his ok.  There’s actually 17 other blokes that would have caused me heart attacks.

He was helped off the ground by trainers. It remains unclear how severe his injury is and if there was structural damage that could potentially rule him out of the season decider in seven days’ time.

If Spargo was unable to play next Saturday, it could open up the door for speedster Jayden Hunt to be recalled and play as a forward.

Alternatively, recent injury substitute James Jordon could be used as a half-forward and Hunt the sub.

Looks in the clip like Bedford (?) spinning Spargo around in a tackle. Steven May motioning in the near background, looks to me like May's gesturing to settle down with the length of the tackle. Spargo spun around 720deg, brought to ground in the process.

Cal and Barrett both reported that Melbourne said they think he will train in the next session.

May knew it was over the top straight away

Unless his leg falls off over night he's fine:

Amazing. A Melbourne role-player is headline news as part of a nothing injury story in grand final week. This is living folks.

They missed a trick though. 

Small forward lock is tackled by another small forward - one who can't get into the team. But might. 

If a spot for a small forward suddenly became available.

Coincidence?

You be the judge.

If Melksham, Hunt, and Chandler go down in similar fashion in the next couple of training sessions then I would say you’re onto something.

Scoff all you want but he's an important role-player and one I want fit and playing.
Certainly didn't look ideal.

House mates too..

Injury scare a great set-up to sub Spargo off for a fresh player in the last quarter if required.
