Just on Ch. 10, Rivers has had scans for OP and that he is unlikely to play for the rest of the season.

According to Neale, the scans weren't 'too bad', but he can't run freely. He'll have more scans next week.

Is this the worst season of injuries in the club's 150 year history?

*Pass the knife*

    F***

    It is the best course of action given our win-loss predicament though.

    One has to ask the question, why all of a sudden is a KPP getting OP?

    On the brightside it means Frawley will get 12 or 13 games of invaluable experience, which could allow us to have frawley, carroll and rivers next year as the 3 KP defenders

    I reckon Rivers will be ok....give him a few weeks.

    And wouldn't that be stupid!

    You don't give someone 'a few weeks' to get over OP. If he has it, even in the mildest of forms, he should sit out the rest of the year wrapped in soft cotton wool, and instructed not to run, walk, or indeed stand up.

    This is too serious to mess around with. These sorts of injuries can stick around for your whole career if they are not properly managed. We don't want another Moloney/Sylvia situation.

    The season from Hell gets worst, I can recall a season which has been effected so greatly by injuries.

    does that mean we can elevate a rookie like weetra or hayes now

    Hayes has been banished from the club for not turning up to training.

    Weetra has a broken wrist, and is already on the senior list.

    We haven't got a rookie who could actually come in and help us. Perhaps Neaves, but highly unlikely.

    I admire your optimism MFC but it seems like another installment in the 'Melbourne Anno Horribilis' best-seller series.

    Get a full, fit list on the park next year with a couple of gun recruits and we'll see a different result.

    I hope you're right about Jared all the same.

    Indeed. Holland was omitted for this match and Frawley retained his spot, so it looks like he might get an extended run - which is a good thing.

    :o Surprisingly terrible season aside, this is the worst news we've had in a long time. Rivers is in our top 5 most important players. Our backline is a mess without him. And now he too has succumb to OP. Hopefully he gets over it and can play unhindered next year and beyond. I couldn't bare to have another of our young stars cut down by injury. Brock, Sylvia, Moloney, Rivers. The future, ooze talent and determination....but injury prone as all hell :wacko:

    What a major blow with Rivers out for the season, but at least it occured at a time like this. Hope he gets better soon.

    Also about Hayes, are you saying banished as delisted?

    and we already have 10 players getting jabs before we go out :(

    it's final. i'm spending my two and a half hours on saturday scouring the stadium to find wheels! will let you know how i go...

    at least we can pity ourselves for our injuries, imagine your were richmond, and could only ppity being ahead in the lastq quarter in about 5 games without ANY excuse for such failure.

    i have a weeeeeirdly good feeling about this weekend folks. that forwardline looks damaging, and that middle looks ball winning. no miller = no 0-10!

    get off the hang Bohdan badwagon please fellow Dees..

    Think..THINK.. some of you before engaging keyboards. OP doesnt happen over-night.. whatever was lurking was there before this bloke came to town.

    Lets take the up side. Jared can take the rest of year to get right with no pressure to perform before necessary !!

    hey ..its the season from hell.. ( appropriate in an unfunny way!! ) . Half full ppl.. lets take whatever seems a set back and turn it into an opportunity. In many ways the pressure is off of us... No one can expect us to do much other than push the re-start button and work forwards.

    The pressure is alwasy going to be now on whomever we play... :-))

    Get better Jared..take your time... do it properly..look forward to seeing yo in the normal place in 2008 !!

    Bode?

    Playing mainly for Sandy Reserves, sometimes seniors if he is lucky. Hasn't done much, and will likely be ditched at the end of the year.

    Neaves would be a good promotion, in rucking terms he's already in front of both Jamar and Johnson. Would be good to leave White in the forwrd line and rotate the other two to have a real good look at them, a really positive development move, but we all know it won't happen.

    might be one of those twists of fate that catapult Neaves into the team earlier ( than some might have warranted ) but just in time to fill a need.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
