    I presume he's on an IV to ensure that any infection is nuked well in time for the game.

    They couldn’t miss that night, they were 7 straight at one stage.

    Also, they kicked 6 straight against us on QB in the last. Add that to the 7.0 in the R21 game and it’s 13.0 in two and half quarters. 

    This is another reason we've tried to model our game on theirs and early in the season, our accuracy was very much like theirs in key games last year.

    But much of this is about where their players kick goals from. Often very central positions.

     

    Got to be unlikely to play now must be quite sever to need an IV, don’t understand how a fit young guy can’t fight off a simple infection from a blister naturally.

    I think it is because hard training puts a fair bit of stress on the body and that stress can effect the immune response.

    the IV is just to deliver the antibiotics the most efficient way possible.  Sounds worse than it is.  Could still easily play in 5 days

    I recall a few years ago one of our players talking about how they all constantly manage blisters on their feet. Some of the mids have numerous blisters most of the season, such is the amount of running they do.

    I would suggest Clarry gets enough of the ball to have blisters covering his hands!

    It’s just some antibiotics. Everyone calm down.

    Who amongst us hasn’t woken up on a Monday morning in need of a jab, and then bounced back to be out again on the Friday night?

    Channel flicked onto Footy Classified just in time to hear Maguire make comment about Oliver.

    He could hardly contain his joy about Oliver being in hospital with an IV in his arm. Also scoffed about him returning after only having two weeks of for a hamstring injury.

    I really hope and want the Dees to win next Monday even more now, with Oliver BOG.

    Yep and an overnight stay and iV delivered antibiotics should clear it up quickly. 

    The wound will also get special treatment further improving chances.

    Hopefully his rehab had finished and no more loading was required.

    I reckon it'd be even better if we gave Clarry another week off and beat them anyway.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
