No official injury report update MFC

Why is it that there hasn't been an official injury report update from the club on their website? 18 days since the last report and two NAB cup games in between. Very unusual. Anything to hide or just slackness?

I'm pretty sure it means Scully is gone.

LOL!

I wouldn't go as far as that. But if so it is good they are not telling official porky's. Then again ostrich farming is not widely considered a profitable business.

I'm not sure what an official injury list means but the afl.com.au site usually publishes an injury list for all clubs every Tuesday.

Such lists aren't usually accurate but sometimes the players listed are actually injured. :)

I'm quite pleased to see Frawley is only 4 away. That'd mean a Round 2 return? Sad about Campbell, however

I'd question the accuracy of that - he is listed as having a shoulder injury, when everyone knows it is his pectoral muscle.

He's fit when I see him on the park, and until then I couldn't care less about these token lists...

and sometimes those not listed are actually injured, but then again some aren't. And sometimes some players are not listed as injured but don't appear listed anywhere as being uninjured and as such able to play for the firsts, seconds or thirds.

Biggest worry there is McKenzie ... has the look of something that could drag on and on ... and on. We need him, especially with Junior gone.

We have some great young players coming into the midfield, but with McKenzie, Blease, Gysberts (and Scully) still not playing, it's looking fairly thin at the moment.

Good opportunity for the likes of Jetta - if he can take it.

As for some of the other comments here re the injury list in general, there's a difference between 'injured' and 'not fit'. Wonna (for example) isn't on the injury list, but isn't ready to play yet. Presumably, same goes for the likes of Tapscott and Gysberts, both of whom are coming off injuries.

A lot of everday punters are not up with the proper names of muscles &/or bones. Many wouldn't know what a pec' is.

But it does effect, in a major way, the use of the shoulder & arm associated. So it could be an easy explanation to loosely describe the issue.

My inside knowledge of McKenzie having OP is looking like a good thing... unfortunately. :(

Hahaha you are kidding, aren't you?

Who the hell doesn't know what a pec is?

Or at the very least what a pectoral muscle is?

I refuse to accept that they assume people are that ignorant.

Hamstring injuries can (do) affect your back.

They still list it as a hamstring, rather than a back injury.

You're clutching at straws.

Here is a big prediction Folks

"Campbell will not play a game for the demons at AFL level!"

Reason: big guys with poor injury records do not get over serious Achilles problems easily.

I have the feeling our gamble with him we be a flop.

Probably not a big loss however dissapointing he may not get on the park.

How long is one usually out with osteitis pubis for? I remember Rivers had it, but I can't recall how long we missed him.

It varies. Remember Moloney's OP?? He was out for ages - played 18 games over three years!!!

It can be quite a hampering injury but, if treated early, can be overcome more quickly.

Fingers crossed for Jordie!!

I was at a MFc get together recently and was asked by a footy follower, what the patella was. I know plenty of people, usually of the older generations, that have No Idea about medical names of the body.

You need to get out amongst a wider circle of the population. there are many who aren't so obseesive about their passion as your good self. It may help you to understand those people a lilttle more.

Other than that, the MFC may not have wanted to be more explicit.

Really is cyclone abbott in a thymbol. Isn't it.

Didn't Stephen Powell miss heaps of games with this injury? Never the same when he returned.

The medical secretary who works for my orthopedic surgeon made an appointment for me with another specialist, for my "shoulder". When I said to her it was for my knee, she said "well why does your file say patella?". Words don't do justice to how much stupidity exists in this world :rolleyes:

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
