Tj Injured- Broken Hand:


The HuLK

Recommended Posts

I made a $150 bet with a mate that Melb would finish higher than Essendon on the ladder this year. Thought it was a safe bet at the time. :lol:

You weren't alone in that opinion Gouga......

I made a very similar bet with my brother, who is a Bomber supporter and definite black sheep of the family :o !!!

There is quite a lot of beer on the line, with a monetary bonus for the winner when the two teams play each other.

Same deal for me. Beers on the line with a Essendon supporter. I'll just have to make sure that I get comfortable at his place until I get half of them back!!!

TJ is ok and seems set to play this weekend as reported in the Age.

I'll believe it when I see it reported at mfc.com or on the footy show. The Age is often behind on these sorts of things.

They've updated that website:

Travis Johnstone hand injury Rnd 3 Rnd 4

Has been cleared of a fractured hand but may be in doubt for this week.

Yep. Just saw it in the paper. Disregard my last post...

MFC website says TJ has been cleared of a broken hand and is expected to play Sunday.

Sylvia (thigh) will be tested and could play his first game of the year for the seniors.

Suddenly things could be looking a little rosier.

Freo have M Johnson, Farmer, Peake, Schammer certainly out while Josh Carr and Headland are fronting the tribunal. Meanwhile Justin Longmuir is playing injured and Antoni Grover is a question mark as well.

Surely we'll be more competitive this week than Geelong.

it does beg the question.

if Trav has an injury to his hand...and he must otherwise why the scan etc... and others have noticed his concerns on play day. then are we ( well MFC ) risking exasperating this by playing him. is this an act of a prudent list mamangement ? or does it smack of desperation ? or is he suddently "all better" ?

For his own sake...id only want a reasoanbly fit TJ to play... no point making a bad situation worse.

I wonder if we could come to the stage where we release some players from training and playing for the full year in order to completely recover.

You then tell younger players, right, you have 10, 15 or 18 rounds to learn the game and have a crack.

Or you line up Ooze, Bizzell, Holland, Wheatley, Ward, McDonald etal and say, right,its your last year, you are in for the season, give it everything you have.

Down sides:

Losing games

Over exposing young bodies and minds to rigours of senior football before they are ready

Damage player and team confidence

Bludging (players who know they are safe "coast")

Upsides:

Young players have the confidence to make mistakes, they learn from bad games

We get to see who has "it"rather than "potential"

Players with long term injuries get completely rested.

Brent Moloney- Looks to either have suffered a strain or has had a recurrence of the soreness he experienced last season. Very unlikely to play this week.

Apropos and urrgh......

Moloney adds to Demons' wounded

By Greg Denham

April 18, 2007

AN epidemic of injuries is threatening to derail a winless Melbourne's season less than a month in.

The Demons' woes have deepened further with midfield player Brent Moloney likely to be sidelined for some time after aggravating his osteitis pubis.

Lets wait for some sort of official confirmation before we all go slash our wrists.

If proven to be correct, I'll be first in line. :unsure:

Moloney out is a bad loss. He is just so passionate and has an impact out there even if he doesn't rake up 30 touches every week. Has been one of our best all year, even battling injury and fitness. Under-rated footballer IMO. With him, Brock, Sylvia, Pickett all out, TJ in average form and under injury cloud, Green not performing well in the midfield, Bruce not playing in the midfield, Junior having an average season....our midfield is really struggling. I marked it in as our strong point at the start of the year, but it is really being flogged. Has been beaten convincingly every match this year. Jones has been great for someone so young and inexperienced, winning a stack of clearances and making his presence felt. Apart from him, haven't been any other shining lights.

If TJ had been out for 6 weeks like originally suggested, I'd have said finals are gone. God I wish Brock was healed up already!

He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    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.

    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

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.

    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.
