Kane Cornes reckons Oliver won’t play again this season… so lock him in for a return next week 🙄😂

I got word when Oliver was first injured back in May that there was more to it.

All very suss.

    What word? And why suss? It’s a complex hamstring. What is suss about that?

    All we know is location of the injury. There are so many variables of the actual injury and what the imaging was showing that it is total guess work to make an assumption on what would be best practice. To try an answer your question, yes it is normal to be running after certain types of hamstring injuries.

    OK OK OK...but suppose a poster had done a first aid course AND once had a tight hamstring after squash, surely then they are appropriately positioned to ascertain with absolute certainty that the medical team's management of Oliver was grossly incompetent?!

    The thing I love about Bowser, aside from his foot skills is how clean he is. A superb ground ball player. So it's a good point Dazzler, I'd love to see him in the midfield in time. 

    And maybe Howes takes his defensive gig.

    I think because his half back role and excellent distributing skill catching the eye it's easy to miss his toughness around the ball. Hoping he gets a chance to move up the ground eventually.

    I definitely like the idea (and I can't remember who posited it on Demonland the other day) of Bowey playing a midfield role in time, ala Butters. He's tough, quick, great at ground ball and an elite kick. His size against other mids is the only thing I'd be saying is a potential weakness.

    Much prefer to see Rivers there on a permanent basis.

    I'd rather Rivers plays as a shut down/intercepting defender personally.

    Any updated on Petty's latest problem?   More of the same or something different?

    I was tuned to ABC radio for the game. Kelly Underwear seemed to have a fair grasp of what happened. He was hit in the back which may have exasperated the (rib?) injury he suffered last week. 
    She said she watched him in the post half time warm up and he couldn’t bend over. He couldn’t even sit FFS and they still started the third with him on the ground. I suspect it’s bruising of some sort - ribs or back.

    But I’m no doc - retired maths teacher.

    Smith came on and was good esp one when isolated one on one in defence his spring is amazing. Would've liked for him to come on earlier and play forward but he had to go back due to Petty getting hurt. We had so many forward entries for no reward but we fired up in the last 10 mins of the game and it was so good to be there.

    Does anyone know what the situation is  on Carrie? I have to say to I have no idea. From my view he seems to have fallen into a black hole information wise.

    2 weeks ago it was announced that his injury was complex and he would be out for 3 weeks. By my maths that makes him due back in two weeks

    Thanks @RyanD.

    A question for you: is it normal/common for someone like Oliver to run within days of an injury like this? Or at least, is it something you could imagine occurring depending on initial scans/symptoms etc? 

    NO !

    Doesn't sound too bad on Petty from the video but perhaps a rest for next week's game

    "recovering well from sore ribs which were hit again last game and will be re-assessed later in the week"

    paraphrased

    They clearly stuffed up the graphics so I’ve extrapolated the stats from last week’s reports and come up with this:-

    Injury List: Round 19

    Michael Hibberd - Kidney | Available 
    Harry Petty - Ribs  | Test
    Clayton Oliver - Hamstring | 3 Weeks 
    Tom McDonald - Ankle | 2 - 4 Weeks 
    Bayley Fritsch - Foot | 5 - 6 Weeks
    Daniel Turner - Wrist | 5 - 6 Weeks
    Kye Turner - Groin | TBC 

    I have a feeling that in the case of Clarrie they went ultra-conservative with his assessment and it would not surprise me if he came back sooner than this.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
