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

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

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

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!!

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

 

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

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    2024 Player Reviews: #10 Angus Brayshaw

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed. Date of Birth: 9 January 1996 Height: 188cm Games MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 167 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 49
