Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but I searched and couldn't find it.

 

I read somewhere that TMac has re-injured his foot and won't play today? Anyone shed some light? This doesn't sound very good for Tom who has had a history of toe/foot related injuries..

 

Can't help thinking of Trengove, Mitch Clark etc.....

Apparently having surgery tomorrow 

 

[censored]! Shouldn’t have tried to rush him back so hard. 3 months for a 6 month injury? Jesus

So he wouldn't have been available Friday night anyway if we did get through.

Well at least they can take time over the pre season to get it right.

I hope they do because we really missed him


When he played in the Prelim for Casey after our season was done, I thought to myself ‘why?’

It may be a sign of the respect between clubs and the playing group but the risk did not outweigh that benefit.

And here we are.

The fact we are chasing Gunston is probably a result of this. Incredibly poor decision making from the football dept. Reeks of desperation.

Where has it confirmed that we're chasing Gunston?

He does reek of desperation.  It would have been left in T Macs hands if he wanted to have a crack at it and he choose to do so

It’s still the FD call. They would have to tick it off.

Demonland. Obviously.

I thought they said during coverage last week that someone stepped on his foot?

If so, it might be a bad luck situation rather than poor management.

I assume you're a doctor/physio and you can definitively confirm that the speed of TMac's rehab contributed to the re-injury?

Had his foot stomped on last week which could very likely be what has caused the re-injury.

I remember asking myself "Why" when watching Schwarz run around like a man possessed in a pre-season game starring in the 2s at Lavington after his 1st or 2nd knee reco.
Popped it again early in the 3rd qtr.
 
In the 2s, playing like it was a final during pre-season.
Could not believe what I was watching.

I believe The Charlatan mentioned this in between moaning about being victimised or some nonsense.

Pretty sure they said on the broadcast after interviewing him that it wasn't that but a kick to the calf..

Its a 6 month injury - one that some don’t ever come back from and he was playing back at 3 months. Now he’s out injured. 

I don’t have to be a medic to question wtf they thought they were doing. It’s shambolic. 

 

Hnmmm is it the end for him?

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
