SEN: Demon out for season



Recommended Posts


Anyone thinking he might call it quits?

I know he has another year left on his contract, but if he's out for the rest of the season, he might think twice about continuing.

Would be terribly sad for someone who nearly broke the consecutive-matches record to be forced out of the game with injury.

Sad and ironic.

For anyone who is interested:

A hernia is a protrusion of a tissue, structure, or part of an organ through the muscular tissue or the membrane by which it is normally contained.

A hernia may be likened to a failure in the sidewall of a tire. The tire's inner tube behaves like the organ and the sidewall like the body cavity wall providing the restraint. A weakness in the sidewall allows a bulge to develop, which can become a split, allowing the inner tube to protrude, and leading to the eventual failure of the tire.

*ouch*

it seems a bit funny a bloke playing 240 odd games in a row and then missing a season with a hernia. It is yze though

same happened to crouch from swans played 196 games and now is in and out of the team

Ben Holland (nose) - test

Travis Johnstone (Achilles) - test

Brent Moloney (groin) - test

David Neitz (finger) - test

Jared Rivers (groin/back) - 1 week

Adem Yze (groin) - 1-2 weeks

Daniel Hughes (groin) - 3-4 weeks

Clint Bartram (knee) - indefinite

has he had the hernia all year or is this a recent development? because he has been listed as groin, you would think there is considerable difference in the pain of a groin strain and a hernia...if this is the case, you would think it strange that a previously injury free career has had a number of injuries all at once...

A year to run on his contract, he'll be back next year. where else is he going to make $400 grand in a year. He deserves another year on the list after all those years of service, he just has to earn a game.

Wouldn't mind betting he's gone. One less downhill skier on the list.

If its Neitz then il cry

hope it is get him rested and anyone else that is not well for this year is over.

lets start making in roads for next year.

get newton in and buckly get the young ones in now so we have more depth next year.

lets learn from this year that we cant carry anyone for it cost us

name or no name if you go out for any reason for now on you have to spend 2 weeks at sandy .

maybe the players might fight a bit harder.

neitz,tj, will come stright back in but have they done much to get them back in this year.

with neitz out for a while maybe some leaders may start to show their hands and melbourne might learn how to win with out him.

Does this new development allow a player to replace Yze who will now be on the long term injury list? Can we promote Neaves for a couple of games?

I imagine promoting him now would cost money and be rather pointless if he wasn't actually going to play.

Poor bloke. I know how he feels! I go in soon to get mine repaired. Hernias are hell whilst they are developing (feels like you are continually kicked in the balls..), but then settle down once they are finally ripped through the fascia. Couldn't imagine playing elite sport when it was flaring up!

Dr says I can be back excercising in one week. Probably for a top footballer it would be 4 weeks max as it is only a laporoscopic repair. Not season ending by any stretch - nor career ending. Both of these things depend entirely on other circumstances!

a rookie will probably be promoted on the thursday if they thought he was worthy of a game for the weekend, they wont promote someone just for the sake of it

could give a another kid to make a play of things later in the year

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
