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 

 

Saw him at the Brissy game wth his ankle in plaster and riding a mobility scooter. He is a long way off.

 

Looks like season done, but one thing we can know is that if there’s ANY kind of chance at all he’ll be pushing hard  fr it. There’s a possible 2nd flag as the carrot. I doubt he’ll be giving up right now. 

On the positive he will back for the threepeat.

Weid isn't the answer. It needs to be Bedford or JVR. Different players but for once other teams need to watch what we are doing and try to stop it.

Goornski for the year and agree Weeds not the answer. Blood JVR when Max returns and Bedford stays in!

 

He's got a metal plate in his foot, I'd have thought for sure season over. Would be some incredible feat if he sneaks in for finals.


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.

Gonski for the year.

Looks that way as now saying 10-12.

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.

The Weed will be fine, have faith, just needs a good run of games.

.....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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
