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.....

    [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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
