TMac Finals Return?



Recommended Posts

In form he reminds me of atom Hawkins without the zimmerframe.

Although I notice he's been getting around on some sort of scooter.

In form he's unbeatable and set up our first 12 wins last year. 

I do hope Weid steps up but I'm not too hopeful.

But this could be the catylist  that SW needs with a long string of games under his belt.

There's always hope as a Dees fan.

Cheers

Must be a very long shot, but in contrast to the report that his ankle was still in plaster our fitness guy had a video of him commencing weight bearing training on his ankle in the injury report

We can thank North for that

Actually you can thank the concrete dump that is Marvel for that.

He landed badly and hurt his foot. Nobody did anything unusual to him and he would do the same motion 100 times a season at the G.

His season is definitely over. His career might be too, as many players never come back from this injury.

Even by some miracle he does return, there’s been a heap of evidence over the years that suggests Tom takes a while to get going after a long lay off… & as we know, this injury is a no joke!

So in saying that, imo, it’s all but over for Tom this season. Up to you Weids & it’s make or break mate.

.....have faith !!

The Pope says hi.

This is it for SW. He has to step up. T/mac gone  atleast till Sept probably 2023. JVR too raw. Must serve his apprenticeship in the VFL till sometime next season. 

Huge risk playing  now.

Its up to the Weed. Start praying for a miracle.

It's the question of whether you can trust Weid over a block of games now. Was happy with him against the Lions but there is going to need to be improvement and more marks and goals if we are to make a serious charge. It's a big IF.

I'd say he done for the season.
It's also not the kind of injury that should/can be rushed in any way shape or form. 
Has to be 100% or it can be a career ender.

Yes, hoping, but more realistically wishful thinking.

Definitely must formulate a game plan without him.

The chances of him playing again this season, based solely on the injury - Lisfranc disruption - are negligible. Part of this is down to loss of fitness whilst weight-bearing is limited and the catch-up then required. That it wasn’t a Lisfranc fracture bodes well however for next season.

Goody said in his presser it shouldn't say 10-12 weeks, he's more likely 6-7 weeks and they're expecting him to play a big role in the back end of the season.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
