    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
