I get what you are saying and what I wrote wasn't an exact science.

I just hope the players picked play their role.

I don't wish injury on anyone, even Collingwood.

 

do you want to reconsider that last bit?

And reported in yesterday's The Age...Aaron vandenBerg is injured again.

He was apparently playing for Old Xavs and suffered what The Age called "a serious arm injury". Poor bloke still can't take a trick.

Not sure if it's paywalled, but it's buried a fair way down this story.

 

My brother was over at Maxy's place on monday. He mentioned how banged up the boys were come the Friday night. Obviously Trac's leg, Fritta's knee was no good & Max's groins were cooked.

He said he felt OK 1st Qtr, but as the game went on, they progressively got worse & worse (clearly noticeable by his performance thereafter).

He also said they really needed to win the QF to get the week off.

Shouldn't have taken injured players into the Lions game then.

Who's in for surgery?

They wouldn't need to if they had given injured guys some time out in the second half of the season.

Loading and rest appear to be the mantra for the best outcomes.

We will be better prepared for a normal season of injuries in 2023 unlike 2021 when we were more than lucky.


Tmac has re-injured his foot. Wrap him in cotton wool and let’s hope he can still get a full pre-season in.

When did this happen?  He did get some sort of calf (?thigh) injury in the VFL PF.

Bit of a worry given they had the week off between round 23 and the QF to rest up any lingering issues.


A close friend was at a 40th last Saturday which TMac attended. His foot got trodden on by a Brisbane player and he told her it was very sore Saturday night and was going for scans early in the week.. It was  6 month injury which they managed to get him back in 3 unfortunate that he got trodden on.

Typical of our luck this year

Poor Tmac. He won't be able to start his pre-season for a while now.

100% this. Geelong rested players all year and are now cherry ripe to challenge for a flag. We hurried injured players back and played them underdone instead of giving them time to heal. When you have players like Dunstan and Chandler absolutely demolishing the VFL, surely you can give them a game at AFL level to fill in for underdone players that need to be fit come finals time. The club stuffed it this year.

Shame to hear TMac has re-injured his foot. That's probably also the result of rushing him back in 3 months when it is usually a 6 month recovery time for that type of injury. Hopefully he will still be able to get some preseason in and be ready for next season.

Agree and I'm extremely suss on this "foot was trodden on" story.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
