in 2024 that's:
- spargo playing in opening round when mlies off fitness issues; not seen since with his achilles injury
- lever playing with a stuffed knee since Anzac day eve
- may playing with broken ribs vs crom and clearly not 'right'
- oliver playing with a busted hand vs bears
- petty hobbling around like a 77 year old with a cactus ankle for the last four weeks
- viney's ongoing shoulder issues that seem to have been around for the entire season
- petracca being sent back on field with busted ribs, lacerated spleen, and partially punctured lung

our medical dept needs a change

If you loathe the club that much, then give us all a break, leave, and follow another club. No one will miss you.

 

Wrong thread.

I regard Tracca's commitment - despite agonising pain and uncertainty - to get out there again against his better judgment to assist the standing team (performing poorly) to overcome the odds and gather some pride, effort and responsibility with the game. That, folks, is to me, an act of ultimate leadership and attitude. Self-sacrifice in the order of Stynes, May and Gus 'just in case things improved' at the individual level for him by which, he could continue his contribution(s) for their sakes.

I wonder if they will find Harold Holt before they identify the issue with Spargo’s Achilles.

If your list is accurate and I do not doubt your integrity. Even if some of your observations are a little exaggerated (petty being 77) it is a disturbing list. 

our conditioning and medical team plus whoever picks the side each week should be asked some questions.  
it is the same as playing one or two players less each week,  no wonder 2024 is so poor.  Other years it has worked better, but not this year.   As soon as Salem went off, our system could not cope.

Not surprised BBB knee is still a problem.  He was managed and 2021 and then deteriorated again through 22 and 23.

welcome to AFL. Players have to play through injury. most guys by now are carrying a couple of injuries

Viney and May were our two best on the weekend

or maybe we should get Collingwoods medical team with half their list out injured. Meanwhile we have 1-2 key players on our list

what does that mean? they are missing 5 best 22 players. they have more injuries than us

zero excuses for us not to front up

Have they said much about Spargo?

A month ago he was changed from 2-3 weeks to TBC and has remained on TBC since.

Collingwood's medical team must be doing something right given their record over the past 12 weeks. How have we gone in that period?

You mean having half their team out injured? yeah they've been great. They are probably the only part of that club not doing well

We haven't had anywhere near their injury list

[censored] - has Tracc done his Achilles as well! Kid just can’t take a trick.

No more mention of Viney’s foot? Does anyone know if this is his “bad” foot?

They do have the umps getting them over the line in multiple games.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
