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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
