Question on Oliver remains as to whether he is progressing. The communication out of the club seems to be the same for the last few weeks in that he is stuck at 90% or thereabouts. 

@ all the physio's, is this progression normal for an injury such as his.

We all know he'll give it all on his return, but you do need a few weeks-months to sharpen skills, match fitness etc etc. I'd want at least 3-4 games into Oliver before going into finals. 

You just can’t speed the tendon recovery, so if we accept that it IS tendon, the progression to sprint/acceleration will speed over the next month. I certainly wouldn’t worry about his skills, and match fitness for players such as Clarry is in the head as much as legs. He’ll be like a caged lion come his return. His aerobic fitness won’t be a problem, as he’d be doing lots of other stuff - bike, pool, circuit.

For a 21 day injury!! GIVE ME A BREAK!!

By the time he plays if will be a 9-10 week injury.Still reckon I smell a Rat! 

Conspiratorial fugazi. It’s not an exact science, however much we wish otherwise. 

Looks pretty happy in the training vid.

Regardless of when he returns, if he's happy, I'm happy. For me and for him.

Speaking of happy, Fritta is also happy. He’s progressing well ahead of time. No surprise since as I’ve said before healing quickly and well runs in his family. They must be made of titanium. 😄

No need to touch wood, Daise. He’ll be fit and firing ahead of time. 👍🏽

He said pre game on Friday that he’s hoping to get a game or two in before finals. That would be absolutely fantastic. We can’t win the flag without him… or Clarry.

Does anyone know what the situation is  on Carrie?

You dont want to know, it is an absolute horror

Injury List: Round 19

Harry Petty - Ribs  | Test
Clayton Oliver - Hamstring | 3 - 4 Weeks
Tom McDonald - Ankle | 3 - 4 Weeks
Bayley Fritsch - Foot | 5 - 6 Weeks
Daniel Turner - Hand | 5 - 6 Weeks
Kye Turner - Groin | TBC


I reckon we wont see the Chananooga Choo Choo again till finals if that!😘

Edited by picket fence

Hammy aside Clayton has been infamous for being beaten up in season. They regularly joked on Gus and Gawny about Clarry barely being able to get his hands above his head with sore shoulders. If he comes back in 3 weeks cherry ripe I think we could see something remarkable. A fresh superstar mid moving freely and chomping at the bit in a top four side, look out!

He seems to find a way to get smashed every game. Not conducive to a long career as a key defenders.

Harry has been smashed in the chest / back two weeks in a row.  And a foot earlier in the year.  Hardly “smashed every game”.  Calm down. 
 

Sure, probably needed and needs an extra week or so, but you make it sound like he is going into a long term care facility.

WCW - has the actual injury been revealed publicly?  

29 minutes ago, Demonland said:

Can't recall our coach being injured as long as you don't count COVID.

 

Bevo punched the whiteboard at halftime breaking his hand yet didn’t say anything and didn’t get treatment until he arrived back in Melbourne. Imagine the pain! AND they lost a heart-stopper.

Yeah, it was made public a couple of days after it happened. He sprained his ankle and that caused a fracture in a bone in his foot. As of yesterday he’s out of the boot, and is “absolutely rapt” about that.

A bit of poetic licence from me.

Chill bro Mono.

For what it's worth I expect him to be picked this week and to play.

WCW - my question was re Harry Petty.  I suspect that your reply may have been re Frittata

binman - no probs there.   Surely if HP has been subbed out two weeks in a row with the same injury, aggravated, he would be best to sit it out this week.

I’m still concerned that Oliver’s timeframe isn’t actually getting any shorter. Before the Saints game it was 4 weeks. 2 weeks later it’s still 3-4 weeks. When are we going to get it to be 1-2 weeks?

As it stands, Goody has ruled him out for Richmond, and I doubt he plays against North and do the plane trip. 

Surely the Carlton game is the target.

I would take that on offer in a heartbeat. The issue sounds complex

I am absolutely shaken.

This is the first time I have seen or heard anyone involved in AFL media use the word laconic correctly.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
