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 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.
