    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
