wow - considering we have alot of good players that have been out for most of the season or even a few months we have done really well this year.

if all thoughs players are ready to go next year and we dont have any serious injuries this team is going to be bloody great!!!!

Yep. Just get them all right for pre-season so we can start a real assault on the finals.

 

That is a seriously incredible injury list right there... :/

Hope Moloney can at least get up for the Port clash. We need him in the middle! He tweeted today that his calf "feels great!!". Fingers crossed.

I would hope that his calf was feeling great considering it was supposed to be a quad injury keeping him out....

Sorry... I meant quad not calf.

Depressing injury list.

Such a shame that Grimes' season is interupted yet again by injuries, and just when he was starting to get busy in the midfield.

 

Injury list looks huge but we really only have 4 of our best 22 out for this week - one of which hasn't been seen since round 6.

If Moloney plays we only have 3 missing.

This has been our best injury run since 2006. We have managed to field the majority of our best 22 each week. Most of the players on the list during the year have either been your kids in Tapscott, Gysberts and Gawn or players that are not up to it like Meeson, Hughes and Martin.

Interesting to compare the number of players that are out for the "Season" at each club.

Collingwood 1

Feemantle 1

Hawthorn 1

Bulldogs 2

Sydney 2

St. Kilda 3

Geelong 3

Kangaroos 6

West Coast 7

Adelaide 8

Port 8

Brisbane 9

Essendon 9

Demons 9

IMO You could form a view that the lower the number of serious injuries the higher you are on the ladder!

It does also depend on how long your 'season' is.....

Indeed. If we were finishing top 4 that list would look better (although not much better).

I have looked at it again Hightower and I struggling to find one player who would not be on it.

Who do you think is out to pasture and would not be if we were playing finals?

Sydney are really amazing. For years they have had such a settled team, very few injuries. Yet they play such a taxing game.

Must have some miracle workers in the medical dept.

I certainly would have most out to pasture. Hence I stated "not much better". But I would have Grimes as one player who I would hope might have come up within the finals, even if it were unlikely after being out so long. So I wouldn't have "season" next to his name if that were the case. But it is all a fluffy hypothetical in finishing top 4 anyway. Besides I don't even know the true magnitude of his current injury.


Even though our injury list has appeared long through the year, i think we have been remarkably lucky with injuries this season.

For most of the year we have had our best 22 play, and our injuries have mostly been our very young players (Tapscott, Blease, Gawn, Gysberts) or our rookie list players. Jamar, Green, Moloney (until recently), Jones, Frawley, Rivers, Garland, Bruce etc have all played almost every game. Even

To be competitive every team needs their best players out there each and every week, especially the players in important positions. I'm a little scared that we'll have another dip next season if guys like Green, Jamar and Bruce, who have all had the season's of their life, have injury interrupted years.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
