MELBOURNE:

Brent Moloney (groin) - 1-2 weeks

Jared Rivers (back) - 1-2 weeks

it smells a little bit like OP or something lingering like that for these two, would love to see them back in one or two but i doubt it.

Bartram would be good to get back a bit sooner also.

Jared Rivers, our new Nick Smith :(

Please refer to Rivers as 122 from now on.

He is gone, won't play again this year would be my guess.

And Bartram still 4-6 away? Wasn't he 2 weeks away last week?

And what's actually wrong with Yze?

So many questions...

 

Jeez, Bartram is taking a while to get back... he's been around the 426 mark for a while.

:unsure: :


Clint Bartram (knee) - 4-6 weeks

What's happened to Bartram? He was supposed to be available by round 12-13. If he's still 4-6 now he won't play this year.

RE: Rivers -

Also spoke to Chris Fagan who said that Jared Rivers was iffy for the rest of the year with his OP, whereas Brent Moloney encouragingly he said may well be right to present himself this week. Told him Brad Miller had kicked 6 which he didnt know at the time and brought a smile to his face.

Moloney's had OP and I read that he has played more than was planned because of our injuries.

Disappointing to see Bartram's ETA pushed back.

Errr.. what? Is this last weeks one or whats the hells going on with clint?

must be dissapointing for bartram. if those three are struggling id like to see them told to just take 10 weeks off and do preseason with us, get themselves right first. we need them on the park next year, fit and firing, all 3 get in our best 22, prob 18.

RE yze jaded, when he missed the first game he had scans for OP (which i found strange considering it is occuring at this stage of his career, maybe he caught it from moloney?) they said the scans came back showing it wasnt bad at all, but they didnt say it wasnt OP. mild OP is a pain in the ass. i get the feeling yze might have played if daveys knee didnt get up but he was otherwise going to drop out...

I read that Daniher knew all along that Yze wouldn't play...

I think it was in the Herald Sun or the The Age today, in an article about Benny.

How does a veteran who hasn't missed a game in something like 10 years, suddenly get OP? That is incredibly strange.

And poor Bartram, you really have to feel for him. First his ankle, which turned out to be a really bad one (I was still seeing him on crutches months later) now the knee. I miss watching that little goer!

P.S.- Injuryupdate.com has Bartram returning in Round 12. What the hell is going on then?

Rivers was interviewed on MMM before the game on Monday, when asked about his injury said it was lower back tightness affecting his hip and hamstrings as well. Has only recently started running again, and said very unconvincingly that he was 1-2 away. Don't get your hopes up for a return within the next month, especially if we keep winning.

Give Rivers the season off to get it right. This is a career threatening injury. Gary Lyon had this injury for 3 - 4 painful seasons. Struggled to play more than 3 games in a row. Eventually he retired at the age of 28 as a result of this injury.

I know we all like to dream and think we are still a chance this year. However the reality is that this almost certainly is not the case. Send Bartam, Rivers and Molony to rehab now so they are ripe for next season.

lower back tightness worries me. that could be heaps of things and there could be no way to fix it...unless they know whats causing it it is a problem...

extra tight thongs?

re didnt retire til the end of the '99 season, he was born september '67 so he wouldve been 31 during that season. but in '99 he only played 2 games, '97 5 games and '96 6 games (21 games in '98), so at the end of the 95 season (effectively his last cept the comeback year) he was 28 ;)

it would have been interesting to see the development of the mfc if he was fit those years. would he have been playing in the 2000 GF? would we have made it? would neitz stayed at CHB?

David Neitz - Knee - Test

Brent Moloney - Groin - 1-2 weeks

Tingay had same problem didnt he?

only 105 games then traded to swans where he didnt even play

Some other decent players were pretty plagued by injuries back in those days - Prymke and G. Lovett come to mind.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
