don't bother I've already pointed out in this thread that Jones has played 201 out of a possible 206 games since he debuted and Petracca has played 0 out of a possible 22

He was a week ago

correct ps it sounds like Trengove is nowhere near lining up for round 1

#standwithbb

with you 100%

and if this finger excuse was considered to be a satisfactory one, Roosy wouldn't have made mention of it and cast him in a bad light

original take on the issue

he got tackled and bounced straight up to receive a free kick ruined his career apparently

might be the best tackle I've ever seen

in case anyone didn't notice, it actually developed that Frost missed the last 19 games cos of this...and he wasn't even at Casey at the end of the year, so it was a 5-month injury at least http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-04-20/toe-injury-to-sideline-dee MELBOURNE will be without promising recruit Sam Frost for at least a month after scans revealed he has a broken toe. The 21-year-old hurt his left toe during the second quarter of Saturday’s 25-point loss to Adelaide. He was immediately subbed out of the game. Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney said a scan had identified a small crack in the bottom of Frost's toe. "At this stage, it’ll be a four-to-six week injury," Mahoney said. Coach Paul Roos also provided a further update at his press conference on Monday afternoon. "It's a crack in the second metatarsal, which is obviously really disappointing," Roos said. "It looks like every team is going through a few injury worries at the moment but you've just got to cope with them unfortunately." Frost crossed to the Demons during last year's trade period after 21 games with Greater Western Sydney and had impressed up forward and in a back-up ruck role in the first three games of the season. Frost's injury has left Roos with several selection issues to contemplate as reshuffles the team ahead of Friday night's clash with Richmond. The second-ruck options are likely to come from Max Gawn or Cameron Pedersen, or the Demons may decide to keep the side settled and deploy Chris Dawes in the back-up ruck role, as he did against the Crows on Saturday. "Dawesy went into the ruck (against the Crows). It's probably something he hasn't done all that often and we thought he embraced that role reasonably well," Roos said. "Casey (Scorpions) had a really good win on the weekend which is a chance to have a look at that role. It's always a tough one – that second ruck role because they need to play a fair bit forward. "We'll have a good look at that and assess what we think we can do." Roos also touched on the progress of former co-captain Jack Grimes, who is yet to break into Melbourne's side this season. He said Grimes was working extremely hard in the VFL to earn his spot back. "He's really supportive of the coaching group and he's really supportive of the players going out on to the field," Roos said. "He knows he needs to work on some things, but he's really putting the club first which I really like."

you've got a good life don't you just catchin up on some old threads lol

yep, we get this way from not playing finals for 9 years running fanboys like yourself just clap the heroes along

I could say that about 80% of his performances His favourite thing is coughing up a cheap free kick and gifting the enemy an early one Best in the comp at it

such a Melbourne player

you've got to be kidding me

you are talking about a highly improbable freak accident vs a bloke who has openly admitted he was being 'stupid' and has drawn the ire of the coach, because he obviously put himself in unnecessary risk. If he was walking down the street and a piano fell on him then that is bad luck, but he brought this upon himself

again highlights how utterly unimportant these things are in previous years Tommy Mac would be sharing no.1 spot with Rohan Bail doesn't have a huge bearing on game day does it

FYI, whatever this problem was it is now fixed. Thanks again Demonland.

Are you serious? Jones has played 201 out of a possible 206 games since he debuted. Nobody is concerned with his ability to get on the Park. Petracca has missed all 22 of his career so far. One player should be having a seriously cotton-wool approach to his off-season and the other has earnt the right to be more liberal.

No, that's all fine, how about just staying away from SPORTS you know, ones that put your toes in danger Especially if you are a pick 2 who is badly needed by your club and you've already missed a year just give the bball a miss is probably wise and not too much to ask

Um, yeah he obviously did do exactly that, that's what the complaining is about

Frost missed the whole year pretty much, with a toe Besides, there is still the golden ticket factor. Even if he's out for just 4, that will be more than enough for half the people here to excuse him for doing nothing all season. Either the preparation of pre-season is crucial, or it isn't - folks can't have it both ways.

absolutely fuming

absolute tool
