I wonder if the AFLPA review is what did/didn't happen in the 2nd qtr.  Tracc went back onto the ground at approx the 8-10 min mark. 

iirc he was left on till half time approx 20 min without an interchange.  That seems a long stint even if no injury had occurred.   We will never know what additional damage/risk occurred during that 20 min. 

The AFLPA would rightly ask questions of doctors/sports science/coach why he had no interchange and no injury/welfare check during that time. 

If the doctors (mfc and afl) left it up to Trac to come off that is a lack of care.  He was in no condition to make that decision.  A duty of care suggests they should have brought him to the bench at regular intervals.  Gawn didn't help by telling Trac to 'toughen the **** up' when Trac struggled.  Maxi's own words.

In the post match press conf Goodwin said Trac was given pain relief.

iirc the AFL review concluded the process mfc/afl doctors followed was 'adequate'.   I wonder if the process is written?  Either way I suspect the process is moot on letting a player continue and is left up to medical discretion.  Only guessing but I doubt it allows for player discretion.  Even if it does doctors can't abdicate that responsibility.

The simple question is did the doctors do everything they could to safeguard his well being in those early stages?

An interesting task for the AFLPA.

From the heady days of less than 5 minutes, the average time between posts has now slipped out to beyond 6.

There is hope.

The report here is that the AFLPA aren't satisfied with the AFL's assessment.

I feel like the bigger report here is why nothing was done about this until the CEO returned after 3 months of leave, in the middle of the season. Fair ball drop from the AFLPA here.

Hmmmm... that Petracca Parma (hard cringe) smells a lot like someone's brand is getting a little bit of a boost??

Wonder if that's part of the negotiations behind the scenes to keep him happy?

(sorry, part time sceptic/at the very least full-time critical thinker).

Anyone tried a Petracca Parma?  Good grief.

Was just looking at the menu, it’s his bolognese that adds flair to their Parma they say.

Do folks realise The Sporting Globe is a club sponsor and it is their ad? 

Not sure why folks are complaining as it also promotes the club and God knows we can do with positive promos right now. 

The only person to comment that gets the benefits of the promo is @Bitter but optimistic

tbh I cant stomach it; too soon after the debacle.  Whilst it might be a club sponsor it was an email from the club that promotes it.

Bitter knows the value of fried food.

He would fry everything if he could, loves fried ice cream and fried bread and butter pudding.

How you feel is fine.

But when folks ridicule a product or ad simply because it has Trac's name, they are ridiculing him, the club and its sponsor. 

The club often allows sponsors to send promotional emails eg New Balance.

My mum once introduced the perplexed Brazilian that owned the milk bar / chippy round the corner from our old house the art of deep frying a meat pie and watering down the tomato sauce with vinegar. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it people.

To be fair, Mother Theresa could promote this Parma and I would still maintain it sounds awful 😂

@Demonland would you embed please? Won't work on my phone

It’s fine, the AFL senior Doctor was with our Doctor and made the decisions jointly and there were still problems in hospital, which had nothing to do with us and the AFL has ticked off on our handling of the incident.

The AFL wants this all fully checked and studied, so it doesn’t happen again. 
We are not in the gun for this one…

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
