    Give him a month @ Casey to learn how not to hurt himself tackling.

    It'll be great to see him playing again. I watched him play his first games @ Sandringham & realised in his first game he was what we needed.

    Lets get him right.

    Bell's fortunate he only dislocated his shoulder. He'd want to do something this season or I think it's curtains.

    No chance of Wonna coming back. Theres no way they would risk it!

    Does anyone know how he has been going for Casey? Haven't kept upto date this year.

    Normally players come off the injury list and THEN they play for Casey :)

    Casey 2's for Wona if passed fit I would think. Due to the fact that it is unfair to play guys who can only be available for half a game in a senior side.

    Take him slowly, slowly because its been since 2008 that he's played an AFL game.

    That said I really hope that in 4 weeks time he's been able to get enough form and fitness to play up in Darwin.

    What's happening with Sam Blease? Not on the injury list and not mentioned in the Casey report last week. Can anyone throw some light on this one?

    He dislocated his shoulder, therefore he had a reconstruction to repair the damage. The reconstruction is not the injury, it's the operation. The dislocation WAS the injury Jurrah had.

    Bell's fortunate he only dislocated his shoulder. He'd want to do something this season or I think it's curtains.

    Bell did his AC joint.

    Kelly O'Donnel I think this morning said that he would play this weekend that after a horrendous injury last year was right to play a couple of weeks ago and then was "ill". Did anyone else hear O'Donnell this morning because I thought he said that Tapscott was six weeks away. I think I am wrong given the operation but can anyone help here.

    does this mean Tappscott, Gawn, Meesen, and effectively Jurrah are out for the season? Does anyone know whether any of the first 3s injuries are likely to be career ending which will lead to delisting? It sounds as though these injuries are pretty serious.

    GAWN is midway through recovery from a knee reco. He will be back in good time.

    Jurrah is 10 weeks away after a shoulder injury.

    Tapscott had a hip injury and allegedly 6 weeks from training.

    Why would we delist Tapscott and GAWN after one year?

    Meesen on the rookie list and injured is finished. The foot injury only confirms his prospects when he went to the rookie list.

    Don't write Meesen off he may turn out to be a valuable player for us. He is very mobile and was starting to show something before he was injured he would be more anvanced than either Spencer or Gawn and Jamar will need some assistance next year.

    Thanks for that

    The main AFL website still has last weeks list with Sylvia noted for a test !! http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/92714/default.aspx

    There is a footnote " * Please note that Melbourne's list is from last week. It will be updated when available".

    Not a good look - hopefully someone from the club will sort this out

    they would not have drafted Gawn if they had a doubt his reco would be career ending.

    If your career has not started, and you sustain an injury, can it be deemed career ending??

    Why is it the Club's problem if AFL's webmaster is slow to update??

    It's not a good luck for AFL.com, no reflection on MFC.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
