Explain this then.

As a physio myself, I know the feeling of this sort of stuff.    Sometimes you have a minor niggle that just keeps on keeping on. From the outside a minor hammy like that looks like a standard

Physio here btw. I'll leave you with some literature to review.  Unfortunately, it's quite the opposite. We know from the research that athletes have a 3 fold higher risk (3.6x) of future hamstri

I definitely feel for Harry. I missed the Sydney Olympics 400m final with the same injury. True story.

It’s still fresh in my memory. I had gone to the bathroom and was running back to the TV to watch the 400m final when I slipped on the marble floor and jammed my foot between the couch and floor, sustaining the dreaded lisfranc ligament injury. I was rolling around the floor in agony while the race was run.

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

Nah, its was more the point that irrespective of context (importance of player) the response should (could) be the same. Of course its not, and I just think its hypocritical.

FMD. Hopefully he’ll be right for pre season

Yep it’s not just a worry for this year but it’s the sort of injury that can really hamper you for a long long time. Hopefully by managing it well now, it’ll have a better long term outcome for us. 

The endless list of injuries this seasons can get in the bin!

For a moment I thought you must be a class athlete. 
Second paragraph soon told me differently. 
Not to dismiss your horrid injury. Hope all is operating as it should now.

One thing that bugs me about these things is the announcement on Channel 7 news as a scoop. Surely supporters/members could get this info. Not watch a prerecorded presser from Richo.

Anyway, feel for Petty. Think this will kill some momentum for us. Hopefully we find a way

It's a huge blow for us. But, in this circumstance we just simply have to move on and focus in on the group we have available. 

Huge positive is that we'll have a handy full forward exploding into 2024 season.

Get well Petts

Are there any career ramifications here with a losfranc or can we be sure he’ll be back in 24?

Hopefully T Mac back into the seniors in a couple of weeks

This is what I’m hoping for, a mobile T Mac for the last 5-6 weeks.

Petty is only 23 and the club are doing the right thing by putting him out to pasture until next season. 

Hopefully now Tmac is back in the reserves he will be fit and firing on all cylinders just in time for the last round and run into finals. 

God I hope so anyway.

Poor bugger, season from hell for him all round.

We just need to move on now. I think many were hopeful but thats footy.

On a positive, even though its a big loss, we can still win without him. Not ideal to still be sorting our forwardline out at this time of year.

Petty has only played 14 games this year. With only 6 games since round 9, 4 of which he was subbed off in.

He has also been subbed off in 3 of his last 4 games and 4 out of his last 7.

So as much as it sucks, we ARE used to life without him and need to move on. It probably looks worse after his bag of 6.

The big question is, who can fill the void until Fritsch comes back, I'm hoping it isn't Smith or Grundy.

It'll all be OK.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
