Assume they are just guesstimating like I did a few minutes ago when I updated the injury list on Demonland.

  PLAYER INJURY LENGTH
OLIVER Clayton.png Clayton Oliver Hamstring Test
MCDONALD Tom.png Tom McDonald Ankle 1 Week
TURNER Kye.png Kye Turner Groin 1 Week
FRITSCH Bayley.png Bayley Fritsch Foot 2-3 Weeks
TURNER Daniel.png Daniel Turner Hand 2-3 Weeks
PETTY Harrison.png Harrison Petty Foot TBC
HOWES Blake.png Blake Howes Hand Season
SESTAN Oliver.png Oliver Sestan Elbow Season

Petty is a big loss as he was finding his rhythm, but that’s afl footy, we should have back Oliver , t Mac , Fritsch available by finals time. Though not sure would they need game time @ Casey?

 
 

Communication from the club re: injuries this season has been putrid 

Except for when Gawn went down and the internet went into meltdown and we got an update on a Sunday.

all that just "from the vision"?   sheez some of these guys can sure spin things

I'd be very surprised if he played again this year. I'd be surprised and relieved if he was good to go at the start of  preseason.


None of us gave a $hite when Turner went down.... we don't 'deserve' to have the knowledge considering its personal information.

It's quite the entitled stance.

We seem to have 'finally' nicely gone along the 7 stages of grieving re: communicating Clayton's injury... it'd be nice for supporters to manage themselves for any other injury going forward.

We seem to have 'finally' nicely gone along the 7 stages of grieving re: communicating Clayton's injury... I suggest we do the same to anyone else going forward.

I was only aware of 5 stages 😉maybe waiting ..and then anticipating the worst see the other two? 


Probably hasn't been expressed enough but I'm really feeling for Harry. He works incredibly hard at both ends of the ground and this would be really frustrating for him right now.

Richo saying season over on C7 


I'd be happy for the club to keep things under wrap as far as possible if there is any chance of him playing this year. Our competitors would have more to think about if they don't know who may be in the team in the finals.

Please never play that dump of a ground ever again 😡😡😡😡😡😡


So I missed this bit on 7 News. Did Richo actually say "season over", because if not, he's still in the frame, and it would be logical management to keep the press off our backs and Petty's if we simply said it was a bad injury.

Are you equating turner to petty. Petty is pivotal to our flag chances. Supporters are on tensor hooks

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
