I am absolutely shaken.

This is the first time I have seen or heard anyone involved in AFL media use the word laconic correctly.

Except he sounded more grumpy than laconic.

Reads laconic, didn't sound it.

    Oh binman……

     

    laconic

    /ləˈkɒnɪk/

    adjective

    (of a person, speech, or style of writing) using very few words.

    And here I was thinking I'm pretty laconic.

    Got that wrong.

    Some more mixed messaging to throw people off the scent?

    That'll be 3 weeks from the 3-4 weeks, mate. Where's the mixed messaging?

    Yze says North.

    Goodwin suggest 2-3 weeks away.

    I would say he'll be back for the Carlton game which gives him 3 games under his belt before finals. That would be a good result.

    We have no business losing to North, regardless of the Clarko factor and the game being at our bogey venue, so I'm happy for them to wait for Carlton.

    So going by reports he will be another 3 weeks on the sidelines. This must be the most intricate and troublesome hamstring of all time. A three week injury might now be 10,11 maybe 12 weeks. There also may be a possibility that we won't see him again this season. This after Goody said what 4 weeks or so ago he needed to pass one more test! Must be excruciating for him not to be out there and as a stellar player, sheer frustration for us supporters. Having said that, Jack Viney is in career best form and so too is Trac. Hope he plays soon as he is pivotal to our Premiership chances !

    The longer this goes on you begin think about "what else could it B" it's strange to say the least. Right now it still has the ring of 426 at this point.

    Have to agree but I like to think we are just holding him back and get him going just before finals...

    A fresh Clarry could be the difference

    Whatever the case is, we have to get it perfectly right as there's not much wiggle room left before finals. A re-injury now would be catastrophic.

    It’s a tendon injury. They are difficult to get right. There’s nothing else to it except that he can’t run at full speed with confidence. Until he can do that he won’t play.

    Goody said 2-3 weeks in his presser but Yze said he is likely to be back in a fortnight.

    The poor guy just lives for footy - he must be even more frustrated than all of us combined.

    Get well soon Clarrie.  Looking forward to you coming back fully refreshed and raring to go.

    I can imagine Clayton Oliver being incredibly frustrated.

    He is such a competitive beast.

    His fiery discussion with Selwyn Griffith proved this. He just wants to be out there playing footy!

    Anyway, best that he just takes his time to fully recuperate so he can be cherry ripe for the finals.

    The positives are that we won games against Coll and Bris without him, and that he will surely be fresh and ready to go when he returns ready for finals

    Has been great to see Riv, Sparrow, etc lift in his absence

    Would like Trac to play more forward when Clarry returns

    Did anyone else see the topic and thought his hammy had blown up again?

    Anyway, Yze sounded really confident on radio that he's on the right path and will playing games within 2-3 weeks.

    (I've learnt not to hang off every word Goodwin says in his interviews)

    If he can get the last 3 games in before finals, then that would be a good result. Even better if we can knock off Richmond without him.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
