Was Travis injured during last weeks game?

Because according to 774 ABC news this morning, they said that "Aaron Davey and Travis Johnstone look set to play against Collingwood on Monday"

Could this explain his average game?

    Foot, leg, ankle? Think something has been troubling trap below the waist, not sure what though.

    Well if he is set to play, clearly it isn't too bad.

    He is definitely carrying something though.

    Just read that Shaw and Clement are out, while Presti is in doubt and obviously so is Buckley (if he plays, get Carroll to tackle him at the first bounce and he's out of there).

    I'm looking forward to Robbo dominating, now that Clement is not playing.

    Como's out for four, he's screwed his foot. Good news about Shaw, he's a damaging player and thought ten days would have been enough to get over a corky.

    All-Australian defender James Clement and Heath Shaw are both out of contention, with their respective calf and corked-thigh injuries.

    Paul Licuria, who tore a hamstring in Round 4, trained at top pace in his bid to convince the selectors his one game back with Williamstown last weekend is enough preparation to earn a recall.

    Key defender Simon Prestigiacomo was again missing with a continuing foot problem, but he is expected to take his place in the side.

    is it just me or given that the games on monday is it not a long time away to be ruling out a player with a corky?

    According to The Age, Johnno just has "general soreness".

    Which means anything from a broken bone, to OP, to pulled muscle, to toothache, to "we're trying to confuse Collingwood".

    'General soreness' is probably the most useless injury term in AFL.

    Which player doesn't have general soreness at Round 11?

    That's what I would have thought and it's been alluded during the week that he was going to pull up.

    Well he’d been our best player against West coast and the kanga’s but he started the adelaide game on the bench. Also started after half time on the bench. This would suggest that either ND was trying to lose, or something’s not quite right with him.

    Presti has stress fractures of the foot which has been troubling him.

    Not at all, the corky Shaw got was very severe. He probably still has bleeding in his leg and would be finding even walking difficult.

    Maybe he need to knock the top off one

    The stats surely tell the story.

    Game time v Adelaide = 54%.

    If he were 100% fit, that would be >80%.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
