Aaron Davey has done a hammy ... out for the year!

    Can someone please detail a full injury report from the game.

    I can only get the match stats here in London.

    Cheers.

    Newton too looked like he had done something to his hamstring late in the last.

    Add Bell with a concussion and/or some kind of neck injury, and we are back to square one.

    And I'd just like to add, why on earth would they zoom in to Ben Holland when his arm is puffy and flipped inside out.

    I wanted to throw up.

    Dutchy- Dislocated and possibly fractured shoulder. Vomit inducing injury. Poor guy!

    Davey- Hamstring

    Bell- Serious concussion

    Robbo- Knee, but kept playing

    Jamar- Corked thigh, but kept playing

    Newton- Was limping, but also kept playing

    Pickett- Fatness

    Pickett- Fatness

    how come noone has mentioned Bate?

    he was clearly injured with a corked thigh. he played on bc we couldnt interchange him, but it was clear he couldnt move.

    he was gutsy to play out the game. ive had a corky and it is [censored] painful.

    Well, if we're being serious here:

    Neita- Knee

    McLean- Groin

    Wheatley- Shoulder

    And the list goes on and on and on.

  • Quote

    I think Bate also suffered a pulled heart string

    The words gutsy and Bate should not be in the same sentence.

    Bate was noticibly limping and his entire thigh was heavily strapped. couldnt people tell he was playing purely bc we needed him out there bc of injuries. he was struggling and i thought he played under the conditions manfully. he could barely jog

    Injuries just suck.

    As hot as Bartram and co. looked in their official Melbourne get-up, seeing them in the guard of honour rather than on the field just made my heart sank, and my head think 'If only...'

    And to think that the list is now just going to grow. :(

    Something needs to be done down at the club about a PROPER fitness test.. like as in making sure the players are actually fit to play? It's not rocket science.

    Why on earth would they play Robbo when he is clearly so injured?

    Leg injuries don't make you duck your head whilst backing back timidly. Leg injuries don't make you fumble and lift your head when you go for the ball in pressure situations.

    I excuse Bate for not running well and being restricted, but courage is non-negotiable. I was very disappointed by some of his efforts, especially given the way a number of our younger players attack the footy like Bell, Jones, McLean and Sylvia.

    Bate was also limping during the game and the skipper is clearly on one leg.

    I also noticed Bate showing an unacceptable attack on the ball for an AFL player several times tonight. I am sure this didn't go unnoticed in the Coaches box either. He would be dropped if I was coach but severe injuries to team mates may save him. I would drop him anyway as he must learn what is expected of an AFL player if he wishes to improve. I would then make him watch videos of Brown and Bell attacking the ball, though maybe in Bell's case not the third quarter tonight.

    Not to mention Moloney and Sylvia.

    All season they both seem to string together 3-4 games then miss a week or two with "groin"

    Maybe end their seasons and get them right for next year.

    Maybe the injury toll tonight will force them to play again next week and resting them is not an option.

  • Quote

    So how much of a team do we actually have left?

  • Quote

    so in next week ward, miller, johnson, godfrey, garland and so forth come in, and hopefully we can keep 22 un injured for the rest of the year

  • Quote

    The sad thing is, it wasn't until Melbourne were down to one player on the bench that they started playing well.

    The game was lost in the first five or ten minutes, before the injuries occurred.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
