I'm convinced that one day Langdon will be in the injury report with "self-bitten tongue" 

Those of us who concentrate with our tongue out always know when to retract to avoid a bite.

An instinctive, intuitive and instant self preservation technique, not dissimilar to avoiding tackles.

I'm starting to think people given the name Max at birth have been given some sort of psycho-physiological boost that makes them grow above 2 meters tall. Max Gawn, Max King, Max Lynch, Max Ramsden, etc. (And didn't we also have a draftee called Max King who was a ruckman but never quite made the big time? Or have I remembered incorrectly?)

Max Smart (Don Adams) 171 cm 😱

I'm sticking with my assessment. After all, Get Smart was a spoof of the James Bond genre and as such I'll claim that Mel Brooks as the show's creator deliberately called a smaller stature actor "Max" as part of the whole spoof theme. Just like Australians call oversize people "Tiny" and shorter people "Lofty".

Mad Max was only 175cm.

He is. I reckon they'll play him in the 2s to get match conditioning.

A Sunday game at Frankston. A lovely ground but the local crowd can be lively to say the least.

A great sausage sizzle as I recall

Two players unaccounted for who missed in the VFL last week. Majak Daw and JVR.

It could also be career ending. Hard road back for TMac. This injury is no joke.

Awful News

I don’t understand why Tmac was training on that last week? Given out abysmal history with foot injuries why weren’t we being somewhat precautionary? I’m seeing players like Petty,  BBrown and Trac played when it’s clear they’re not right. I’m concerned we’re being  overly cavalier with injuries atm and starting to pay the price.

It’s not cheap to get scans done so they probably went on the assumption that it was a small tweak and when it continued to get worse after training they did the scans.

Petracca was ill, and put his hand up as being fit to play last week. What did the club do wrong there?

Goodwin was directly asked if Brown's fit last night and responded with a simple "yes". There's no other evidence or even rumour to suggest he's injured, so maybe his poor form is just that, poor form.

Not sure there's really an issue here right now.

[Caligula's cohort 1,014]

Jon Ralph just announced on Fox Footy that Tmac will miss a minimum of 12 weeks and could be out potentially for 12 months with a Lisfranc tear in his foot. We'll have no choice now but to persist with Weid as the second tall, which isn't such a bad thing... Other than that I would love to try Petty forward again. We have Tomlinson as a decent 3rd tall defender and was a standout last year before he did his ACL. Time to throw the magnets around after two losses in a row.

You can almost guarantee that is exactly what Goodwin won't do.

Are you saying that as a criticism or a compliment?

Damn, missed the md season draft by     that much

[Demonland 66,532]

Luckily we were already braced for this because it would have been the final straw on this 2006-2017 like day.

Given all the other news today there is no way Petty survives this Test.

Petty hearing about May and Tmac and getting out the industrial strength sticky tape

The posters were right about Tmac

[Fat Tony 4,533]

There is a picture of Rosman in the MFC Gallery of training pics. He is kicking and so I am guessing his hamstring looks to be minor. 

[Demonland 66,532]

Smith has hit the infamous 4-6 Week mark of his injury.
