Great to see 5 players back this week......

Five Return From Injury

Injury list

Michael Evans (back) - indefinite

Max Gawn (knee) - season

Jack Grimes (shoulder) - 1-2 weeks

Liam Jurrah (wrist) - 3-4 weeks

Cale Morton (knee) - 1 week

Jake Spencer (knee) - 6-8 weeks

Rory Taggert (back) - 3 weeks

Leigh Williams (back) - 3 weeks

Aside from the news about Jurrah being granted leave to return home the amount of players available for round 1 is looking good.

Hoping Grimes and Morton can get at least 1 full pre-season game in before round 1 just to top it off (of course with no other injuries)...

    Grimes is now another 1-2 weeks away, same as last week.

    What's the bet he doesn't play next week?

    Bubblewrap alert!

    Morton may struggle to get a run for quite a few weeks until his works on his game at Casey ,I reckon .

    If Michael Evans is now out indefinitely does this mean we are able to elevate another rookie ?

    Hope this is not a "Geelong" 1-2 weeks.

    I remember a couple of years ago Ottens was out for 1- 2 weeks that kept on that way for 2 months.

    No this is the MFC we tell the truth!!!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Evans a rookie himself?

    JT, Tappy, and Jordie. Three guys i'm very happy to see getting pre-season game time.

    Fair effort by James Strauss to be back available for selection. To be honest, when he suffered that injury I thought we wouldn't see him at all in 2012.

    Strauss, WOW, thats amazing and a credit to HIM and ALL concerned.

    No correction needed.

    So, based on this information Evans, Gawn, Jurrah, and Spencer will be unavailable for selection for round 1. Not too shabby, considering that Jurrah is probably the only player that would be pushing for selection if he were fit anyway.

    I wouldn't mind at all if it's a "Geelong 1-2 weeks"...didn't Ottens come back in time to win a premiership with the Cats? I could live with that sort of injury concern.

    Yes he did.

    I would be happy for Jurrah to appear early August in time for the GF.

    Well we can dream?

    Evans and Williams were never going to play much in early part of 2012, with Nicholson, Couch and Magner well ahead at this stage. Taggert a first year player, wouldn't get a look in for round 1 and Gawn and Spenser affect our ruck depth, but not in the early part of the season, with Martin and Jamar clearly our number 1 and 2.

    Morton and Grimes will still get to play 1 nab cup game and will be available for selection round 1.

    That pretty much leaves Jurrah as our only best 22 player out for round 1. A pretty decent result. Let's hope Jurrah can play before too long also

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      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.
