I didn't particularly like Cats on 8th Sept 1947..

Mmmmm?  Not footy related anyway as Melbourne and Geelong failed to make finals in 1947.

What might be the reason(s) for Oliver not playing after surgery? Is it (1) bone structure protection to stop further damage? (2) to allow the surgical scar to heal? (3) pain, or, conversely, having to play with a numbed hand which makes it hard to use that hand?

 

Most likely soft tissue ie skin and muscle healing I would think.  The bone itself won't be healed for more than a month.

Any opportunity to take a pottie at Melksy.

Sad, really. 

Was tongue in cheek , no offense meant, have loved Melksham and his contribution to teh Dees... he aint replacing Oliver though.. and to be fair.. none will.

Thumbs are over-rated

Not when you’re handballing 70% of the time. Here’s hoping the thumb causes Clarry to kick more.

Opposed to opposable thumbs! Are you sure you're not a chimpanzee rather than a chook?

I plead the fifth.

I figure he throws it 50 %  of that 70%

It's a thing of beauty imo 

 

Was listening to SEN on the way to the shops and they said they will have an injury update on demons Oliver, Lever and Ben Brown later in the show. Not sure when and can't listen now.

Anyone know of a potential injury to Ben?

Said BB and Gus were sore, and Lever expected to play, that was on 9 news. 


Seems BBB and Gus not too bad, which is good as needed vs WB

I thought Clarry was a thumb, or do he injure his finger in fury at Goodwin when he told him he wasn’t playing against Port?

If Lever out we still have Petty returning presumably..Tomlinson stays as well after finding some form. 

Lever needs to be right for Sept.

All good.

Do we try J Smith in the forward line? 

Not until he recovers, if he does, from his latest injury.  🙄

The thumb IS a finger.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
