Injury List: Round 9

Featured Replies

Posted

The weeks go by slowly for Tom Scully. Every week in which he is injured takes three or four* and I'm wondering whether his season isn't over already.

The official injury list from melbournefc.com.au says three weeks. FWIW here it is:-

Rohan Bail (knee) - 4-6 weeks

Jack Fitzpatrick (ankle) - 7-9 weeks

Colin Garland (ankle) - 6-8 weeks

Jack Grimes (foot) - season

Mark Jamar (knee) - 3-5 weeks

Jared Rivers (ankle) - test

Tom Scully (knee) - 3 weeks

Jake Spencer (knee) - season

See the Round 4 Injury thread

Updated Injury List (Post#28)

Robbie Campbell (achilles) - 5 weeks

Jordie McKenzie (groin) - 4 weeks

Tom Scully (knee) - 6 weeks

That was after Tom's injury was upgraded from 3 to 6 weeks.

 

Depressing but it is too early for the single walt.

Perhaps a cruise as I cannot Ski

insider trading no doubt.

Do what I'm doing. Going to see Melb v's Essendon. Leave straight after for Auckland arrive back on the 12th to go and see us get belted by the Colliwobbles.


No McKenzie. Good.

No McKenzie. Good.

Why would he be- played for Casey last Sunday and gained 24 kicks.

 

Already praying these Bail, Garland, Jamar injuries don't become a year long problem.

We've a great record of turning 4-5 week injuries into a season.

McKenzie has played footy the past two weeks.

IIRC he's been on the injury list for the past two weeks as well. Him being off means he's 100% fit which is good.


The unavailable (ordered by weeks, rather than alphabet):

Jared Rivers (ankle) - test probably right to go

Jack Trengove (susp.) - 2 weeks - 2 weeks

Lynden Dunn (susp.) - 2 weeks - 2 weeks then season at Casey then dumped from list

Tom Scully (knee) - 3 weeks - 6 - 8 weeks

Mark Jamar (knee) - 3-5 weeks - 5 - 7 weeks

Rohan Bail (knee) - 4-6 weeks - season

Colin Garland (ankle) - 6-8 weeks - season

Jack Fitzpatrick (ankle) - 7-9 weeks - season

Jack Grimes (foot) - season - 3 seasons

Jake Spencer (knee) - season - cut from list

I'd have ~7 in my best 22.

Rivers, Trengove, Scully, Jamar, Bail, Garland, Grimes.

It hurts.

Garland out for 6-8 is a huge blow, he's been in good form all year. Same deal with Bail.

It hurts.

Yes. It does but it hurts a lot less when your team is developing and young because the fact that some of those players are missing gives an opportunity to others to get games before their time would otherwise have come.

None of us would have been contemplating two weeks ago the possible debut this week of a Max Gawn or a Michael Evans. In all probability it's too soon for them to be making their debuts. Yet the thought of these young players getting their opportunities and the hope that they can kick start their careers ahead of time is a compelling one

If they can get games, show something and play well they might well offset the disappointment of losing some of the old regulars.

Garlo, Grimes, Rivers and Bail are all no strangers to the injury list. It sucks, some players just have no luck.

Yes. It does but it hurts a lot less when your team is developing and young because the fact that some of those players are missing gives an opportunity to others to get games before their time would otherwise have come.

Yes, silver lining and all that, and it's a development year still. But we're pretty much stuffed in terms of winning matches in the short term, which is a shame. It's also disappointing that there are several players on the injury list who we want to be pumping heaps of matches in to for experience, not to mention Trengove.

I'm bracing myself because I think we're going to be put in the hurt locker for a few weeks.

It's also now tough to judge the team, and DB, because we're an already weak team missing 1/3 of their best team (and a bunch of the more important players, too).

Call me a pessimist but we do seem to have the best record in turning 3-5 week injuries into season ending ones, the odd we even end the career of!

I don't expect to see any of those players back again this year. Even Trengove will probably do something at training during his time off.

This club has killed my expectations in life!

Bleak. Very bleak. :(

That said, this Saturday it's a chance to stand for something. Cattle or no cattle. Actions not words. 4 quarters.

Thats better, thanks Rogue.

Sad for you!


I've been interested to find out how Robbie Campbell played in the Casey reserves smashing of Cranbourne in the practise match at the weekend, and to my surprise there was no mention of him in Brad Gotch's player review? Did he injure himself last week (played a half in the 2's last week), or was he rested? I'd have thought, for a player like Campbell coming off such a long playoff with no preseason at all, a practise match against a local team would've been a great opportunity to play 3-4 quarters of a fairly low intensity match and get a bit of game time and run in the legs (albeit against soft opposition). Especially with our current ruck situation.

Reserves practice match

Casey 22.14 (146) d Cranbourne 1.4 (10)

Troy Davis: Troy can play. He’s building his fitness and showing some really good defensive play. He uses the ball well and showed a bit of dash. He’s going to put some pressure on selection wise.

Cameron Johnston: Cam played really well. He had more than 30 possessions, on top of his 26 last week. So he’s going well and he’ll be pushing for the VFL seniors.

Can anyone shed some light on Robbie's apparent non-inclusion at the weekend?

    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.

    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

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
