Brent Moloney (groin) - 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...

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.

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.

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?

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.

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
