I am absolutely shaken.

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

Except he sounded more grumpy than laconic.

Reads laconic, didn't sound it.

    Oh binman……

     

    laconic

    /ləˈkɒnɪk/

    adjective

    (of a person, speech, or style of writing) using very few words.

    And here I was thinking I'm pretty laconic.

    Got that wrong.

    Some more mixed messaging to throw people off the scent?

    That'll be 3 weeks from the 3-4 weeks, mate. Where's the mixed messaging?

    Yze says North.

    Goodwin suggest 2-3 weeks away.

    I would say he'll be back for the Carlton game which gives him 3 games under his belt before finals. That would be a good result.

    We have no business losing to North, regardless of the Clarko factor and the game being at our bogey venue, so I'm happy for them to wait for Carlton.

    So going by reports he will be another 3 weeks on the sidelines. This must be the most intricate and troublesome hamstring of all time. A three week injury might now be 10,11 maybe 12 weeks. There also may be a possibility that we won't see him again this season. This after Goody said what 4 weeks or so ago he needed to pass one more test! Must be excruciating for him not to be out there and as a stellar player, sheer frustration for us supporters. Having said that, Jack Viney is in career best form and so too is Trac. Hope he plays soon as he is pivotal to our Premiership chances !

    The longer this goes on you begin think about "what else could it B" it's strange to say the least. Right now it still has the ring of 426 at this point.

    Have to agree but I like to think we are just holding him back and get him going just before finals...

    A fresh Clarry could be the difference

    Whatever the case is, we have to get it perfectly right as there's not much wiggle room left before finals. A re-injury now would be catastrophic.

    It’s a tendon injury. They are difficult to get right. There’s nothing else to it except that he can’t run at full speed with confidence. Until he can do that he won’t play.

    Goody said 2-3 weeks in his presser but Yze said he is likely to be back in a fortnight.

    The poor guy just lives for footy - he must be even more frustrated than all of us combined.

    Get well soon Clarrie.  Looking forward to you coming back fully refreshed and raring to go.

    I can imagine Clayton Oliver being incredibly frustrated.

    He is such a competitive beast.

    His fiery discussion with Selwyn Griffith proved this. He just wants to be out there playing footy!

    Anyway, best that he just takes his time to fully recuperate so he can be cherry ripe for the finals.

    The positives are that we won games against Coll and Bris without him, and that he will surely be fresh and ready to go when he returns ready for finals

    Has been great to see Riv, Sparrow, etc lift in his absence

    Would like Trac to play more forward when Clarry returns

    Did anyone else see the topic and thought his hammy had blown up again?

    Anyway, Yze sounded really confident on radio that he's on the right path and will playing games within 2-3 weeks.

    (I've learnt not to hang off every word Goodwin says in his interviews)

    If he can get the last 3 games in before finals, then that would be a good result. Even better if we can knock off Richmond without him.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
