Injury List - Round 6


Felix

Recommended Posts

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)

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 ?

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

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

Is he also the only player on our injury list?

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

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
