Damn our injury list is long and i just saw that melbourne was 2nd behind essendon in weeks missed due to soft tissue injury with it being 41 weeks. Essendon was first with 47, while north only had 1.

Our injury list is rudiculous every year and i was hoping Misson would help us on this aspect but obviously looking at those stats he isnt as effective as i had hoped.

    I don't think you can place blame for the injuries we've been seeing. It's not like we've had a lot of hamstrings. They have all been impact injuries and/or rotten luck. How many weeks have we lost to ankles? Multiple players out with back problems. ACL to Bennell now as well. None of this is a conditioning issue, it's all just rotten luck. Looking on the bright side though, it would be amazing if we had another season like this in the near future.

    The stats show that we have missed 41 weeks with soft tissue injuries.

    So.... what qualifies as a sort tissue injury?

    I would guess that Bones are hard tissue and everything else is soft. Therefore the multiple ankles and backs count, plus Jamar's calf and now Bennell's knee. I'd be interested to know what the official definition is though.

    Its better this season than a future one where we can actually get up and win some games.

    • 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 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.
