    Win the premiership. Worry about that later

     

    5-6 weeks is an ideal outcome given the circumstances

    Or elimination final if we lose week one. Which we won’t 😉

    Why is everyone so convinced frittata is coming back soon? He’s got a potential season ending injury. Foot injuries are notorious for healing 

    I posted elsewhere he indicated to supporters after last week's game he was four weeks (four fingers held up) away. So now, that would be three fingers or weeks, take your pick.

    Yeah  let's go with finished or retirement

    Or washed up? That would keep the kitchen reference rolling without the tedium of everything being cooked.

    Any time foot or bad ankle injuries happen now I think of metal plates going in and all sorts of weirdo stuff that could affect a player's long term career. 

    I feel the same way I did with Fritsch, if it's 5 - 6 weeks it's not ideal at all but at least it's not threatening for next season and a full recovery can be made.

    How about ‘done’? Covers off both cooking and washing.

    I’d take that as a win all things considered, the GF is 9 weeks away.

    I'm scared it's both high ankle and the mid foot. From the vision at the time and the way it moved I would have sworn ankle. 

    Another day of sweating, I hate football.

    This injury is a real downtrodder. The combo of Petty and JVR seemed to be a workable solution. Forget about Grundy playing in the forward line. It is not his role in life.

    Carlton will not want Grundy in our Forward Line damaging people that they need in Finals. Fact.

    This is what will happen if Grundy plays. That is what used to happen up until they moved on the previous person to Gold Coast.

    They also think they can get away with placing Silvagni now Martin in their Forward line just to fall over or push people in the back when the Umpire is not looking.

    JVR will be running all over the place picking up kicks.

    If the 5-6 weeks being rumoured is correct, that’s an enormous win, could just as easily have ruptured ankle medial ligament, inferior tibio-fibular syndesmosis, or fracture (the things I was worried about). 
     

    The way he injured it, with the ankle in dorsiflexion, meaning toes toward knee, is very unlikely to cause a Lisfranc disruption. It almost always occurs with foot in plantarflexion (ballerina ‘point’ direction). 
     

    As a dweeby aside, the Lisfranc injury is named after Napoleon’s cavalry head honcho, Générale Lisfranc, who reported the injury occurring commonly to soldiers who were knocked off their horse, only to have a foot locked in the stirrup in forced plantarflexion. Ouchy. Too much nerdy-know? Not if you want to win your next pub trivia night!

    Thanks Webber for the explanations.

    What I saw was clearly a foot that Petty was holding/feeling as he sat on the bench. I therefore assumed it wasn’t his ankle.

    Can you please explain what syndesmosis is.

    Webber when I first saw the impact on the replays I was adamant that the ankle twisted to about 9 o clock like an abduction movement and over-stretched the ligaments but is it more likely the force came from below the foot and went more upwards? 

    PS: Apologies in advance for incorrect lingo.

    Yep. The bone that allows up and down movement of the foot (at the ankle) is the Talus, kind of a cubic shaped bone with an articulating dome. That dome is ‘clasped’ on either side by the fibula and the tibia (the two lower leg bones). That clasp is held together by ligaments, i.e. they join the tib and fib together. That’s called a syndesmosis. To say that someone’s got a syndesmosis injury (and it sh**s me blind when they don’t say ‘injury’) means that join has been disrupted, thus the ankle becomes unstable (the ‘clasp’ runs from totally impatent to insecure). Depending on severity, means time off in reduced weight-bearing or at worst, surgery (to resecure the clasp).

    Mid foot injury scans confirmed,

    Surgery tomorrow,

    5 weeks out,

    Grundy with a week to show his wares before Fritta is ready. Potential for Smith to go back forward also.

    In my opinion. Petty is far too valuable an asset to consider playing again this year.

    he has been just a bit injury prone in a couple of recent games.  No wonder his foot was sore kicking 6.  And I don’t think he has been fully fit. Just my opinion

    but he seems to have proven he can play forward!  Quite well at that.  So put him away until next year, 

      Looking forward to fighting for grand final tickets go dees !!

    Sorry for my ignorance, but would 5 weeks mean available for first final? R22-24 plus a week break.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
