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?

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.

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

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?

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 !!

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
