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.

Wowsers!

    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. 

    That first tackle he got was pretty crude, the second one finished the job. But yes not helped by the Marvel Carpark

    9 weeks until the first final

    Can't see it especially if the forward line is functioning. If we fell into the 8 that would be another matter

    And will be covering the ground better than ever thanks to the scooter he's riding.

    If Cox can get approval for his glasses, surely Tmac can get approval for a medical scooter.

    Will all depend on whether he has any setbacks I guess but he's best 22 if fit & ready. Weeds can have a VFL premiership medal.

    Tom Stewart did the same injury just prior to the finals, had the same operation and if the Cats made the grand final was a chance to play. The club decided not to do the full operation but like Stewart repaired the injury with screws or a plate giving TMac every chance to play again this season.

    He's a valuable player, particularly in setting the pressure tone as a tall forward, and in giving options as a leading forward up the ground. There's a noticable lift in output from all our forwards when he is in form.

    I struggle to see how it all comes together given the seriousness of the injury and the timing of the return, but who knows.

    In the meantime, well, at least we find out for sure about Serious Sam. You know, he's never been held goalless in a final?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
