Explain this then.

As a physio myself, I know the feeling of this sort of stuff.    Sometimes you have a minor niggle that just keeps on keeping on. From the outside a minor hammy like that looks like a standard

Physio here btw. I'll leave you with some literature to review.  Unfortunately, it's quite the opposite. We know from the research that athletes have a 3 fold higher risk (3.6x) of future hamstri

every team gets injuries. we need to toughen TF up and deal with it

i actually don’t mind the group going through some adversity mid season.

Agree, if we need a perfect run with injuries to win, then maybe we are not worthy.

Well, all this does is create opportunity for someone like Tom Sparrow.

I've been hard on him of recent because I haven't felt he has taken the next step as I thought he would.

If there was an opportunity and chance to really take the next step and show everyone what he's got then it's now. There's some big midfield minutes there for the taking and it's up to Sparrow to grab it with both hands now.

Why didn’t we ‘manage’ our best players during that period?

More rhetorical questions…

Tired The Office GIF

Clarry has barely missed a game in 6 years. hardly needs resting. plus we lost the bombers and almost lost to GC so not sure we have the luxury of resting

Next month will be a shambles and a window into the next few years unless Goodwin wakes the [censored] up and recruits another top mid in trade period.

Some hysteria abroad. Pathetic.  I'm sure the team has more bottle.

Just reported it on 9 news as well

Feel like this will get swept under the rug during the weeks.

This smells of when we sent Joel Smith back out with a strained groin in a nab game back in 2019 and ended up missing the year because of further damage.

This is not the end of the world. You can't replace an Oliver, but a bit of adversity never hurt anyone. The 22 who take the field on Saturday will know they'll have to give everything they've got to cover the loss of Clarrie. They'll be switched on and crack in.

Then we are not competing for the flag. If we cannot rest one of our galaxy of stars - then we cannot lose them to injury - and that is an excuse.

They don’t get that from me. I expect to win this Saturday.

Sparrow was badly missed on Friday night. He does a lot of work off the ball to help Trac and Clarry. His absence meant that Port could shut down Viney, which they said was a tactic post match, and it left us very vulnerable in the middle. 
People underestimate his role. I’m glad he’s back this week. Just sucks that Dunstan is injured! Rubbish timing.

All clubs lose good players. Challenge is to see if we are a good footy club or not.

I’m actually ok with this. I hated Friday night but this group needs to HTFU and grind out some wins. They’ve got it in them and I’ll remain a believer until I’m not. Go Dees.

Port just rolled us with 5 of their 22 out

my main point is a 25yo gun doesn’t need resting. injuries happen

of course we have to win on Sat. we have Harmes, Jordon etc to come in

Get Angus to nullify Andrew. That will go a long way to beating Freo.

No.

I'm not accepting the season is over one bit.

Dangerfield missed 6 games last year and that did not stop them going on a full blown winning streak without him.

Accept it at your own peril, cool. 

I won't.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
