From the Melbourne website...

"MELBOURNE has just four players on its injury list, although Tom Scully could be the only listed Demon not playing by the weekend.

Scully is still five weeks away from returning from a knee injury, sustained in the pre-season.

But ruckman Robert Campbell (achilles) and midfielder Jordie McKenzie (groin) are chances to make their first appearances for the season, pending fitness tests.

Sam Blease must also pass a test, after he suffered concussion playing for Casey last round against Frankston."

Melbourne injury list: round seven

Sam Blease (concussion) - test

Robert Campbell (achilles) - test

Jordie McKenzie (groin) - test

Tom Scully (knee) - 5 weeks

    That injury list tells me something. We need to have a good hard look at ourselves. We have pretty much a full list to choose from with only Scully out of the best 22 (i like Jordie McKenzie but everyone on here suggesting he is going to be the saviour is kidding themselves)

    Good to hear. Barring any new injuries, we should almost be at full strength within a couple of weeks.

    Good to see Jordie's a chance.

    sounds like a horse race.

    I'll take $20 on the nose for Supporter Patience

    and $20 a place for Melbourne Pride

    good odds on the Trifecta too

    When did anyone suggest that?

    We're 17th in tackles, so I believe putting our best tackler back into the team will help some.

    He will make Nathan zero-tackles Jones and his lazy team mates try a bit harder too.

    What happened to James Strauss? Didn't play on the weekend and not on injury list?

    Good question.

    Excuse me for being sceptical but if we were traveling well would Mckenzie and Campbell still

    be "2 weeks"

    I cannot see Mckenzie playing for at least a couple of weeks.

    He has no match play for over two months which effectively means a low preseason effort.

    I will still be surprised if we see him this side of June.

    And then perhaps as a sub.

    Campbell is a rookie and won't come in unless there is another long term injury.

    So the improvement for me is Mckenzie some time in July.

    However I have been wrong before!

    Yes it does DC.

    Some days you are my bright spot.

    Thanks for another one.

    Agree with Geddy Lee, when did anyone refer to him as the saviour ?

  • Quote

    Im not surprised there is no injured players. You actually have to gut run or make physical contact with opposition before you can get an injury....

  • Quote

    its a damning commnetary on our team that should you take out this bloke or that then we suddenly seem incapable of tackling , shepherding etc etc. Are we that reliant on so few. If so this is the crux of our horror

  • Quote

    And now for the good news......

  • Quote

    Highly doubtful we'll get any decent football out of Jordie till at least mid-June. Look at Frawley, Brian Lake, etc for quality players without a pre-season coming in and struggling...

    This ^. Of course Jordie's not the savior but it just so happens that his best skill - tackling (and general aggressiveness at the ball & man) - is probably what we're lacking the most at the moment.

    I love the guy and can't wait until he returns. Reading that he might be available gave the first "yessssss" moment since Thursday. As far as I'm concerned he's back in at the instant that he can play out a match, and I don't care if he takes a while to find form; he can do that in the seniors.

    Add James Frawley, clearly playing injured.

    well its not clear or obvious (as another poster said) to me

    all thats clear is he is not playing well

    its possible he is playing injured but not clear or obvious

    its more likely he is not fully fit after an incomplete preseason

    there again as most of the team are insipid it might be something in the water at aami?

    Too funny BZ :lol: Unfortunately that's closer to the truth than i care to admit. Hoping this looming cacoon of horror fades away with a big turnaround in the next 8 weeks :rolleyes:

    When was Tom Scully's injury increased from a 4 week injury to a 6 week injury? I could swear that was a week before Easter ... so why is he still listed 5 weeks away?

    After talking today to a colleague who knows the Scully family, I have a bad feeling about where he is at.

    I know we don't want to start up again on the GWS scenario, but the word is he has signed with them, and now this extension of his unavailability looks suspicious.

    Maybe he won't play another game with us.

    If that happens what do we get in return? Another # 1 draft pick?

    I dropped into training today, the only player missing was Scully; nowhere to be seen

    If that was true the club would have placed him on the long term injury list so they could promote another rookie.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
