How long does syndesmosis take to heal? Syndesmosis injuries generally involve a period of immobilisation for 4-6 weeks depending on severity. (Yes that means a moon boot!) Following this we allow a further 6-12 weeks for a full recovery.20 Apr 2021
 
Not Good if true!!!!!😢

That’s only if surgery is required

    I'm not suggesting a game plan change, not sure how many times I need to say it.

    Not sure why the 'yeah nah' then in response to me saying 'don't change the game plan'?

    As much as I love Max I think this in an opportunity. It was alluded to by someone from the Sydney camp before the game last week that they were setting their midfield up to shark Gawns taps. In effect assuming they would lose the tap and instead just clamp down on our mids, this seemed to play out at times with the limited room and space we had at stoppages. Add an extra around the ball which the oppo has done of late and it adds up the handball merry go round leading to a turnover we’ve been doing a lot of lately.

    Perhaps now our mids can be the hunters rather than hunted and we can freshen up our approach to stoppages.

    I am really looking forward to the upside surprise I think we will all get from Jackson having 80% ruck time

    It was to your "just be us" comment.

    We need to be a different version this year.

    Clearly.

    Nev, Jimmy is a former “high grade player” so apparently his insights are more valuable.

    Needs to change the name to “Jimmy - high grade player” so we all give him the appropriate respect.

    McInerney (204 cm 110kg, 47.8% hit out win and 8.2% to advantage)) is a decent ruck and Fort (204 cm 98kg 45.3% hit out win and 4.5% to advantage)not a bad back up.  Will be a massive test for Jackson (199cm 100kg 32.6% hit out win rate  2.1% to advantage).  I've not liked what I've seen from Jackson in ruck contests this season.  He needs to halve this if we are to have any chance.

    Jacko has the leap and 2nd effort to compete well

    Can he go for % time to be first ruck?

    And what happens when he has a break???

    With this injury to Max plus the 3 consecutive losses and the stupid public scuffle between may and Melksham it is all come together to form a perfect mid-season storm over our bye weekend. For me, while I do not enjoy the situation, it will give us a clear insight into the quality of our coaching panel and the depth of our player leadership group.

    Goodwin, Williams and Yze etc. have had a very good ride in the first half of the season on the back of the team not setting the world on fire but winning 10 in a row. Now is the time they have to earn their stripes. This will require a massive re-set of the playing group, afterall the next game is against Brisbane who I believe are a very strong contender for the flag this year. After the last 4 or so weeks it is a hard task to win that game.

    Player leadership group will need to come up with a player response to the situation as well. No Gawn on the ground over the next two weeks and we will need the midfield leaders in particular to stand up and give direction to the team structures.

    One area where we need leadership from both the players and coaches is in the forward 50. in the last few weeks we have had no structure in this area of the ground.

    Hope the club uses the bye week well and come up with some answers.

    Tigers couldn't win without Rance.

    Crows can't win without Modra.

    Bulldogs can't win without Murphy.

    O wait...

    It is a lot harder for us, but not impossible. We are struggling, but not beaten yet.

    Time to see how what we're made of.

    Big job for Luke Jackson as he is now our number 1 ruckman. Could this be the making of him?

    Does this mean Sam Weideman becomes the 2nd ruck? Majak Daw hasn't exactly had consistency of games in the VFL.

    Would that also mean we have to play both M Brown and Weid...lord no!!

    Jimbob... the FD tinker every week... it's not an absolute... yet the punters on Demonland deal in absolutes...mostly.

    What sort of tinkering are you suggesting, that perhaps the FD aren't putting into place?

    *postscript... were you concerned in the first 10 rounds?

    I know you're not new to footy, so I'm sure I don't need to run you through why changing game plans halfway through a season is a bad idea, even more so purely because you have one injury that might impact for as little as 4 games.

    We don't need to devise a different way to play, we need to stick to what we know and be better at it.

    "Just be us". Remember that? Got us a flag last year, which you have been banging on about for ages and then forget after 3 weeks and go back to ranting.

    Different personel need to be shuffled around to cover injuries and form. For the last 3 games we have lost in exactly the same fashion 

    The Game Plan needs a re jig, for the run home

    Or does it??!

    Maybe the coach has a reason not to panic, like the majority of his snow loving, fair weathered supporters?

    Different personnel doesn't mean new game plan, in fact, I would argue it means quite the opposite.

    Clearly we haven't executed the game plan well for most of the year, but it's safe to assume we haven't changed much about it since last year. So what parts of our premiership winning game plan do you suggest we change?

    I don't think there is any other option than the weed in for Max. For those calling on Majak have a serious think about the consequences. He is not in any way up to AFL standard.

    Do you KNOW that or is it just what you want to think?  Others who watch VFL have other opinions.

    Every team should have the same bye length 

    this is really poor 

    The fixture is just a total shambles but i am sure the AFL couldn’t give a stuff

    The bye is a shambles and just to reinforce it Gil wants as his parting gesture to give us an odd number of teams, necessitating byes, just to make us appreciate how good it is now as compared to how it will be. 😡

    I live not far from casey and have regularly attended vfl footy and have watched Majak play " live " quite a few times. I will firmly hold to my opinions.

    I am not panicking. But to lose 3 times in a row the exact same way tells me the system is not working with the available personel

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
