    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
