Sounds like he injured his hand at training rather than carrying the injury from the weekend

Didn't he cop a a kick to the hand against the Doggies? Or someone this season, it's already a blur. 

That’s what I thought too. I remember him shaking his hand in pain. I just couldn’t remember the incident.

Same, it's possible he has a bruise still from that game and it got knocked again at training, and they have decided to scan it just to make sure there's nothing sinister going on.

We don't all immediately have to jump to the wrong conclusion. Joel Selwood broke his hand and he missed what, a week? Let's just all CALM DOWN!

Not the same hand that Joel Selwood kicked a few years back i hope. That seems like it has never gone away.

Where would it go away to? It’s connected to his arm.

Next man in mentality, but it’s Oliver we are talking about.

Next two men in,

if he misses. 

 

How can we stay calm, when Oliver's finger is at stake

That was Trac.

Melbourne star Clayton Oliver was sent for a scan after suffering a dislocated finger at training on Wednesday, but the Demons still expect him to face Port Adelaide on Saturday.

The Demons confirmed Oliver left Casey Fields for a scan following the incident but do not have concerns over his availability ahead of the blockbuster Adelaide Oval clash.

Well he would have to get ONE free kick in the next two weeks now.

There are some tough blokes about. I had only bruised ribs once and every time I coughed or laughed I was in agony. Could hardy to put on a shirt. Can't imagine playing a game of AFL footy.

Well they used to say to you that it will be a little tight but your safe with it being taped up. Out you go.

I defenitely saw Oliver shaking a sore hand on Saturday as well as Petracca.  It is possible what happened at training today is related.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was more vulnerable to pain in his left (?) hand after that Geelong kicking incident in 2022 (?). He ended up having off season surgery on it from memory after the initial treatment in the final rounds of the season (back in ye good ol' days where he missed his first game ever for injury after a record run of games!)

This might have occurred as a result of him pulling his finger out.

I'll show myself out.

He wasn’t anywhere near Sicily off the play, was he?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.
