picket fence

And that is why we will finish outside the 8. OLD LESSONS NOT LEARNED!

Yep and if Cricket Australia had gonads depending on outcome Smith Lehman, Bancroft and anyone else in on it should be Banned for at least a year maybe two This is pathetic As for Warner what a [censored] of bloke he is

YEP!!

1 We traded our best ball User Watts and got?? And we are still paying part of his Salary 2 The Cancelled camp tells me and plenty AND those in the footy world that we are SOFT 3 None selections of Frost, Tyson and Gus baffling 4 Goodwin has no idea how to counter run and spread 5 We still make unforced skill errors 6 I don't blame Max at all as wehade numerous chances to win it BUT having said that a senior player from 20 out should have nailed it! Watts Would have! 7 We still have a hell of a lot to learn. 8 TYPICAL BLOODY MELBOURNE FC

What's John Northey up to these days???

1 As I strongly said We should have played TYSON FROST AND GUS HARMES WAGNER AND MAYNARD NOT UP TO IT LEVER is overrated and overpaid Goodwin is shizzzzen coach A lot of these players drink there own bathwater and wont do the hard years !! The cancelled training camp says it all Thank God I didn't buy a membership this year

IMV that is the most Shizzen Geelong outfit put on the park for many a year! Who the hell is Esava Ratugolea?? Sounds like a planet or an exotic food!!

I am a big Frost fan, Frosty offers more run and is a bigger unit!. And yes Wagners Howlers are shockers!

Clarry Choo Choo would be a Huge OUT!

Yeah but Frost offers much more !!

Some on this site have Lever on Hawkins but that would be a blunder!! Wagner on Hawkins would be Suicide! Why Frost isn't playing in place of Wagner mystifies me!

Don't like the bench at all For mine should have been Frost Tyson IN Wagner Maynard OUT Brayshaw out with Wisdom teeth extraction does not surprise me at all

A Phys ed Background and have had Cortisone for injuries and it does give some relief BUT I have found through experience that PRP /Autologous Blood injections are much more long lasting, and use the bodies natural products ( Blood) to assist healing.I have had this procedure in both knees, achilies and a type of plantar fascia injury. IMO and what do I know?? I just have a subjective view that PRP and other treatments seem to be more cutting edge than Cortisone.

FURTHER INFO What is PRP? PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injections are natural injections consisting of components of your own blood that has been enriched with platelets. A rapidly growing treatment PRP utilises the body’s natural inflammatory process to assist the growth and repair of soft tissues such as: tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin and muscle. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is the fluid part of the blood which contains all of the 'band-aid' cells (the Platelets), and contains several different growth factors and other proteins that stimulate healing and attract the critical assistance of stem cells. Some tissues in the body have a poor blood supply or respond poorly to excessive load and ultimately fail to heal naturally. PRP therapy utilises the healing properties in blood to allow a healing reaction to occur in a tissue that is not healing on its own. Our blood has small granules called “platelets” and these contain special growth factors that when released, allowing stem cells in the particular tissue to switch on and then cause new tissue to be synthesized and heal an injured or degenerated area. The goal of PRP therapy is to resolve pain and increase mobility through healing. It is completely natural and can prove to have long lasting results. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been used overseas for many years, however it is fairly new to Australia and even more so to the general public. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment in Melbourne & Australia was first introduced as a treatment for elite athletes but is now available to assist anyone The technique PRP involves taking your own blood, which is taken from your arm just like a normal blood test, the blood is then spun in a centrifuge which is a machine designed to separate the blood into two components. The bottom layer contains most of the red blood cells, while the top layer is mostly plasma and platelets. The top layer, the platelet rich plasma, is then activated and injected into the affected area immediately after the blood has been taken. Injections can be performed with or without guided ultrasound. What can PRP treat? PRP therapy can be used for several types of injuries and ailments, including: · Knee arthritis · Arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis · Joint pain & joint damage · Knee pain, injuries · Hip pain, injuries & arthritis · Muscle tears · Degenerative conditions · Bursitis · Ligament, tendon and fascia injuries · Meniscus and cartilage tears · Nerve injury · Tendonitis · Tennis elbow & golfers elbow · Foot & ankle pain and injuries · Carpal tunnel syndrome · Plantar fasciitis · Rotator cuff injuries · Sports or work injuries When compared to cortisone injections, PRP shows better results over a longer period of time. While the effects of cortisone are rapid, they are often followed by a decline in condition and can actually cause further tissue damage. PRP, however, shows slower but greater long term improvements, less injury recurrence and no side-effects.

I just heard that Goodwin has stated that both players had some CORTISONE INJECTIONS during the week. Cortisone??? Seriously?? Cortisone is nothing more than a Band-aid, it masks the pain and does NOTHING to actually rehab the problem. Current thinking includes PRP injections ( White Blood cells) harvested from your own blood and autologous blood injections guided by Ultrasound Cortisone does nothing but mask pain, other problem is once you have a couple into same joint it actually can weaken the joint further. Anyone else on this site in the know will bear this out. Cortisone?? Now I am worried!

And RIP the sheeeeeit out of it Vs Hawks!!

I have a three stooges tie and several mates used to say we don't know where the tie ends and your body starts LOL

FRITTA !! Well done Pineapple!!

Real players play in Black boots. Ask Phil Carman!

Frost IN Harmes Out Rationale we already have multiple scoring options forward but if Hawkins needs a mobile Body Defender then FROST gets the gig Stretch still does not impress me and turns it over when under pressure Other than that pretty god side!

THIS !!

And this again is very old school thinking and management. Any player MUST report all niggles when they occur.

Yep and again The questions need to be asked Viney and T Mac both "Unfortunate Coincidences" have a habit of being the rationale of choice when these incidents occur. Whatever the reason we cannot afford to lose two Key players early in the season IMV.

Nup Nup IMV any foot injury that changes the gait and style of running will put pressure on other parts of the foot. I'm giving some opinion from my Phys Ed background but, happy to seek and take advice from others on this site who might know more. Also, we seem to cop the full brunt of "unfortunate coincidence" is that is what it is!
