This isn’t true Jaded. T Mac was starting to hit some very good form when he came back into the team  after his omission last year. He came back in for R7 and got hurt in R10. In those 3 and a bit games he kicked 11.7.

You're right, he was in ok form, but in those rounds we played Hawks, Saints and West Coast and were also on a 10 game winning streak. I think his performance was helped by the opposition and how well we were travelling. We also had Ben Brown there so the need to rush him back was not as great.

    Not really related to the injury, but given what we have seen with Petty and JVR forward should we be targeting a key defender in the off season?

    I personally would look at getting a key tall to play alongside May & Lever and leave Petty as a key forward.

    It depends how well they feel Adams is coming along, but I would say yes.

    We also have Jefferson coming along nicely up forward at Casey, so I would hope we target another tall defender.

    No doubt we will if Tomlinson leaves, plus Hibbo retires, and May is not exactly a spring chicken either.

    If i have understood my anatomy the lisfranc ligament is part of the midfoot, so it is possible that both sources are correct. 

    Hope they have learnt from Oliver's media coverage not to muck around with mixed messages again.

    My primitive understanding of the Lisfranc would indicate Goodwin was telling fibs when he said the previous injury was a Lisfranc, considering the turnaround time on the injury. Unless exceptionally minor.

    I think that might have been more to do with Oliver than any messaging strategy

    I live for this kind of information. I’ll be at a pub quiz in 2029, this will be a question, and the entire pub will be in awe of the stupid [censored] I know. Thanks @Webber. Love it

    So annoying, especially as it was a result of a poorly executed 15 metre pass to a leading Petty.

    exactly what i thought at the time. [censored] kicking put him in that situation. Petty did everything right.

    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). 

    Thanks Webber.

    A Lisfranc foot injury is, or can be worse, is that right?

    PS:  Can’t you blokes design a more durable body?

    There is no point thinking like that. We play a contact sport. He could have done this injury from a bullet pass that lands on his chest and McKay falls on him trying to defend it and his foot is caught underneath.

    He did a similar injury going for a mark against the Hawks.

    Seriously what are the chances of it happening twice with the span of a couple of games for Petty. I mean FFS!

    I can vouch for that. While I didn’t play a game of footy on it, I know the turf was schiit since several of our banner crew slipped and/or tripped. And it wasn’t our regulation klutzes (for example me), it was those who can boast that until yesterday their arzes rarely come into contact with the turf. 😁

Ouchy. Too much nerdy-know? Not if you want to win your next pub trivia night! 

    Can we blame The French?

    Maybe that is why Gill in his infinite wisdom has decreed that a billion or two needs to be spent by Tasmania to have a team there.  
    Meanwhile we get sent there, and to Geelong, every / most years whilst CFCx2, EFC, RFC don’t.  Such is the depth of corruption of this competition.

    Edmund just said on SEN it’s a lisfranc but time on the sidelines unknown. Club trying to find out how long he will be out. 

    Gives opportunity for someone else to step up. Sometimes in this situation the player coming in plays like it’s their last chance so could work (hopefully) in our favour in a bad situation. 

    Time will tell.

    Don’t worry, after the first year or two they won’t send the big clubs to the new stadium either. The roof that will or won’t be built (even if clear) combined with the stadium being built on a wharf will no doubt see it be a Docklands/Perth stadium disaster style surface.

    Sparrow made a mistake in a game of footy.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • 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?
