MELBOURNE

INJURED:

Rohan Bail (knee) 3-4 weeks

ON THE BLOCK:

Sam Blease, Jamie Bennell, Liam Jurrah.

ON THE CUSP:

 

Luke Tapscott, Matthew Bate.

AL PATON’S FORECAST:

Tapscott has played two games in the VFL after a long layoff with a hamstring injury and is ready to go. Jurrah is unlikely to lose his spot for the game in his home state.

    Bail doesn't seem to improve which is a worry. Hope Tapscott is back in.

    Isn't Bailey talking up the possibility of Davey playing this week?

    The Age is saying this:

    MELBOURNE

    A Davey (knee) test

    J Fitzpatrick (ankle) test

    N Jetta (hand) test

    J Macdonald (knee) 1 wk

    R Bail (knee) 2-3 wks

    M Newton (foot) 2-3 wks

    J Grimes (foot) season

    J Spencer (knee) season

    Beats Me WJ I would say that the above may be close to the truth.

    However all clubs play funny buggars with their injury lists so who could tell what is the real truth.

    I can never understand who they think they are fooling.

    Serves little useful purpose that I can tell.

    Has our messing about with injuries and who is in the team when named on thursday won us a game?

    From our results you would have to say no.

    I've heard that Grimes is a chance to sneak in a couple of games later in the season. This comes from a friend who knows the Grimes family.

    ...and didn't he say as much on one of the Sunday footy shows a couple of weeks ago?

    Would love to see Grimes back this season.

    Would love to see Grimes back this season.

    I don't his injury is a very serious one it took Garland a full year to recover from a similar injury..

    Lets get him cherry ripe for 2012.

    we are not going to miss the grand final because he is out.

    Too good a player to risk for a match at the end of the year.

    Maybe so, just passing on what I was told.

    Agreed, there wouldn't be much value in Jack coming back underdone.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
