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!

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.

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.

Posted

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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
