INJURY LIST

Melbourne injury list

Robert Campbell (achilles) - 6-8 weeks

Troy Davis (thyroid disorder) - 6 weeks

Jack Fitzpatrick (foot) - 3-4 weeks

James Frawley (shoulder) - 4 weeks

Jordie McKenzie (groin) - 3-4 weeks

Tom McNamara (foot) - 3-4 weeks

Cale Morton (hand) - 4-5 weeks

Michael Newton (hand) - 3 weeks

James Strauss (hamstring) - test

 

Don't like the sounds of Campbell's injury at all. I wouldn't be surprised if he never played a game for us.

Good that Frawley is progressing; hopefully he'll be back for round 2 or 3. Anyone have any info on the rumour of McKenzie having Osteitis Pubis?

I am getting concerned about McKenzie. A great player and OP is an often career stalling injury.

From the article linked it does sound like they are taking preventative measures to OP... Could be just a groin strain though that can take up to a month to heal....

I know it might not look that great having the 9 names above on the injured list, but within that list, you would only really expect the names below to be in our current best 22 available for Round 1:

* J.Frawley

* J.McKenzie

* C.Morton ( with J.Strauss an outside chance )

so realistically, baring no more injuries leading up to the start of the season ( touch wood ), we should have our best 22 available to pick from by Round 4 - Gold Coast.

Would not go sofar as to call him a great player-yepa developing player whom has a career ahead of him. Ialso don't think he has OP-but who knows?

Hopefully it is just a groin strain. Jordie is a key part of our midfield, and in my opinion he is very important for our finals aspirations.

Campbell was never really likely to play for us.

His contribution will be felt in other ways.

& I'm not worried about OP.

They know how to handle it now.

Scully had OP at 16 fcs.

Observation: From last weeks injury list, Frawley hasn't budged - still on 4 weeks. Pretty sure McKenzie was 2 weeks - now ballooned out to 3-4 weeks. All bar Strauss are at least a month away. Cotton wool time ? ;)

A mate of mine heard Chris Connolly telling someone Frawley was 5 weeks away....That was sunday night....

Whatever the case, no one should be rushed. Chip is worth waiting for.

Better to be conservative.

Honestly, I don't care how long it takes, as long as he doesn't rush back.

He's probably just lost track. I doubt he knows of the top of his head exactly how long each injured player is predicted to be out. And I doubt he updates that mental list weekly. I wouldn't be worried about at all. He'll be right soon enough.

Agreed. It's not great to have rookies and first year long term prospects injured... BUT... really only 3 players from our best 22 isn't catastrophic.

And all 3 should be back by round 5 after our bye and maximum will 3-4 rounds

I know it is of little significance, but when they put up the injury lists with the amount of weeks, the assessment is a guide. It could have easily read 4-5 weeks last week, rather than 4 weeks. IIRC many were pleasantly surprised it had dropped to "4 weeks" last week.

I'd say he would have good information as Football Manager, so we should allow 5 weeks before we see Frawley back in Red & Blue.

i agree...apparently the guy was a richmond trainer at groove train bridge rd richmond...

Agreed - OP isn't the medical mystery it was even three years ago; clubs seem to have a handle on how to manage it now. I think we're unlikely to see Stephen Powell like cases ever again (or Brent Moloney for a more recent but less severe case).

might as well :rolleyes:

Spot on! Exactly my point. ( touches wood again! ) B)

I didn't realise OP was so well managed now, so thanks for the information. Good to hear.

As mentioned before, Scully had it at 16, has since learnt to manage it and it is no longer an issue.

It's pretty much par for the course these days.

They're pretty much ontop of "OP", these days. The club has said that Jordie's body has struggled to cope with the AFL workloads so far. which to me suggests that he has pushed himself hard, to the edge of breaking. He got through last year, just, and now has done a full pre season,,, maybe his first Full,,, and now he's tweaked his groin. I tend to think he'll adjust as his body gets used to the training loads & as he learns his bodies hints, that it needs a rest.

I fell certain he'll get through, OK.

A mate of mine heard Chris Connolly telling someone Frawley was 5 weeks away....That was sunday night....

Well we won't need him so much for Rnd 1, and Rnd 2, is more a stretch with Roughhead & Hale,,, but I reckon we'll manage. Rnd 3, against the Lions, have Brown & some Kids, unless they push Merrett forward. Otherwise their other Key Forwards will be young, like ours..

After that, he must be back by Rnd 4...

Edit: If he is unavailable for Rnds 1 - 3,,,, then the upside is, we can blood a youngster who amy be able to play a Key Posi'....

Does anyone know how Kelvin Lawrence is tracking, havnt herd a thing from him since being drafted.

Think it was mentioned that he was very homesick and that Aaron has taken him under his wing. He hasnt been mentioned in training at all.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
