Injury List (Round 5 - the bye)

Featured Replies

Posted

Shortest list that I've seen for years:-

Robert Campbell (achilles) - 4 weeks

Jordie McKenzie (groin) - 3 weeks

Tom Scully (knee) - 6 weeks

Not sure what the go is with Cameron Johnston who hasn't played yet at Casey. I thought he was cleared to play.

Scully is 6 weeks

 

We've had an unreal run with injuries so far this year. Four matches and not one in a game seriously enough to miss weeks.

Ssshhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Would the ultimate irony be a player injuring themselves in some obscure manner this weekend?

Surely McKenzie will need a few rounds at casey for his fitness.. But who makes way upon his return?

Its even going to be tougher once Suclly is 110% fit.


Ssshhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree- don't moss us.

Looks like Scully has been rolled back to 6 weeks again. I think we can consider it as 'indefinite' injury now and the club is probably of the same view but maybe doesn't want to start a media fire by officially calling it so

I'd rather call it 'indefinite', or even still, I'd prefer to call it a '6 week injury.'

Just because it has been pushed back does not mean it is indefinite.

Correct weight and even C.C stated he maybe back earlier.

Thats exactly my point - due to the rare nature of the injury the recovery time is unknown thus indefinite as defined here

Did Jack Fitzpatrick play for the Casey magoos this week? Didnt see him mentioned in the goals or best,and cbf looking up the selected teams from the paper..

Shame that we all really have no inkling on where Scully is at - it seems very mysterious.

6 weeks went to 3 weeks, then back to 6 weeks, to 5 weeks, back to 6 weeks :/

Go figure.

Apart from that, injuries (or lack there of) have been very good to us (TOUCH WOOD!!).

Looking forward to Jordie making his return.

Yep, "Jack Fitzpatrick: Jack only had eight possessions in an OK performance."

Just said this today... we'll get through to the end of week 5 with not a single match-day injury, off the top of my head. I think there was a Davey ankle, and maybe a Garland knee left on the park at some stage in that time, but they went back and found them the following week.

And don't worry. Everything that's not typing is touching wood...


No change yet to the injury list.

Still showing last weeks details.

I doubt much has changed.

All three look long term to me.

No official injury list this week but if you read the match preview on afl.com.au you will notice the injury list and the confusion continues:

Match Preview - West Coast v Melbourne

Injury list 

Melbourne: Robert Campbell (achilles) - 5 weeks, Jordie McKenzie (groin) - 4 weeks, Tom Scully (knee) - 6 weeks

Its even going to be tougher once Suclly is 110% fit.

:( We don't want him 110% Fit,,, thats his problem, too much carpet burn! B)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
