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)...

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 ?

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

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

Bubblewrap alert!

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.


Posted

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

Posted

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
