    That’s a big call. Petracca has a sore foot at worst and Max took some heat on the weekend. No more so than most ruckman, probably less thanks to Grundy

    Watch Petracca closely this Saturday and tell me he’s banged up. He’ll be the guy in the 5 guernsey ripping Freo a new one.

    Well, at least Tracc can get all the votes to himself now, might sneak a Brownlow! Seriously though, it’s a good sign that he is in rehab already. Don’t forget this is the same bloke who played with a broken hand last year. I think he will be back sooner than what the doom and gloom media are suggesting

    Just get him and Petty cherry ripe for Geelong, we’ll come home with a wet sail

    It’s a minor strain  - standard 3-4 weeks. I suspect all the smoke and mirrors is that there maybe a slight chance of a return for the pies game, which is 3.5 weeks from the date of injury.

    He'll have Serong and Brayshaw hanging off each leg and still fire off a handball to a free player :laugh:

    I was thinking the same thing. Has he got it off a mate or from Dr Google. Very strange for a guy off the street to make such a medical diagnosis. Maybe he has personal experience in this type of injury.

    My experience is that I have recovered from a tendon strain and am familiar with the rehab protocol. What made me think tendon is that Clarry is already doing some running less than 48 hours after the injury and if a muscle tear I would have thought they'd have him off legs to let the muscle heal. Rehabbing a tendon involves loading it up to what you can tolerate and building on this.  This said I'm not a sports physio and have no idea how the AFL medico's grade and rehab different hamstring injuries.

    Not underrating Clarry's awesomeness for an instant, but I'm wounding if this provides an oppertunity for us to function slightly differently in the midfield in a way that's less predictable for the opposition and breaks open our season again?

    Certainly provides an opertuity for a different few faces like Sparrow, Harmes, Kossie, Riv or Gus to rack up some serious midfield time and show what they can do in there given the opportunity.

    Will it be Brayshaw Vs Brayshaw again?

    Afl website saying out indefinitely and will be sidelined for several weeks. They seem to be using the injury update video as the source of that information.

    OK all it now appears he is out for a little bit. No issues here. The sky is not falling done upon us Demonlanders. Team is not just Clarry. We have depth to cover and need to play more guys through the midfield than normal. Just might be a good thing and find out what the others can do instead of relying on Clarry, Trac and Viney. Viney had a quiet one last week and to a lesser extent so did Trac so expect them to come out firing on Saturday. Throw in Kozzy, Rivers, Sparrow etc and we will have a different look. S..t I hope so.

    From the medical report I got:

    As far as Oliver goes- we don’t know

    We didn’t stuff up letting him play in because we only found out after the match - dubious

    Everyone is progressing well - hmmm

     

    Smoke and Mirrors, yep sounds like an episode of "In Search of" with Leonard Nimoy, we will never know how, what, or why with this  one but clearly someone has STUFFED up Big Time!

    Where's '@Webber' when we need him???

    Was waiting til the official word from the club @rjay. A ‘strain’ is a tear. Not sure why they insist on using ‘strain’, when they could just use the tear grading (1-3). Nobody’s fooled I suspect. Anyway, all hamstring tears begin at 3 weeks. Straight clinical epidemiology tells us that if you bring even a minor tear (grade 1) back inside 3 weeks, the risk of re-tear is markedly greater. Needless to say, the longer the rehab, the lower the risk. I’ll assume Clarrie’s is grade 1, in which case he ‘should’ miss the next 3 games, to avoid such risk. Desperation does strange things though.

    Is there such thing as a 'low grade 1' Webber? I first had this down as hammy tightness because (in my uninformed opinion) if there was even a partial a tear it seems strange to me that he was able to do some running and stretching yesterday. Got no idea now.

    @Webber, how about Clarry misses next 3 weeks,, not games

    Injury sustained on May 19. 3 weeks takes us to June 9. KB is on June 12.

    So if it is a grade 1  surely he only misses 2 games and returns in time for the Pies game ?

    Good point.

    Depends on their appetite for risk but it is handy that we played the first game of round 10 and the play the last game of round 13.

    We shouldn’t write off James Jordon or James Harmes or Dunstan from our midfield mix all bigger harder bodies that can rotate with Tracc, Vines, Sparrow, Rivers, Kozzie and Chandler. That would leave Gus half back where he is needed most I am hoping that the coaches mix it up a bit and put a bit of a fire in their belly over the next four weeks. It’s time that the second echelon showed us what they are capable off and give Clarry the necessary time to get his hammy cherry ripe. Opportunity waits for no man.!!!

    Included Dunstan

    I know he’s our best and most important player, but you’d hate to rush him for the KB game, which is a probable loss  anyway, and have him do a serious injury and miss the rest of the season. Seems not worth it!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
