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.

    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.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
