Liam Jurrah off the injury list for the first time in what, three months?

By my reckoning he was on the list until May 10.

Then played 1+ quarters vs Swans May 19

Then back on May 25 and has been on it for 11 weeks.

Not exactly a great productive year.

Does that mean he fronts for Casey this weekend?

I really hope so

Watts still in the test group, this had been a very serious minor ankle injury.

I'm sure I read that McKenzie was a late replacement because of a knee complaint; yet the list has him as "shoulder (test)"?

Edit:

Thought so... from the MFC site game review:

INJURIES

Melbourne: Jordie McKenzie (knee) was a late withdrawal. Morton (shoulder)

I always take the injury list with a grain of salt

The only ones I believe is when they Say "Season or Indefinte"

The rest is just to keep the troops happy.

Does that necessarily mean he'll be playing this week?

I am sure I read somewhere that LJ will line up for Casey this week.

What is up with Watts? I'm now officially getting worried. Four weeks is a long time. I hope it is not more serious than they are letting on.

You don't believe the 224s? Sheesh you're a cynical old bastard :o

I heard he did the ankle twice. Once was in the game, then he was pretty much right but aggravated/re-injured it in training, early word is he'll be right for this week.

I bloody hope so. At the moment he's sitting on my Super coach bench with Mitch Robinson. With an elimination final and only 3 trades i want him back!

I dont think soft as butter Jurrah will make it back before the years out.

I've been under the impression all year that MFC are sneakily trying to keep him out of the spotlight, for his own sake.

Not saying I know this as a fact, just where my instinct goes given the timing of his comeback and the length of time he's been out with seemingly minor injuries.

"Soft as butter" is the last thing I'd call him though, if you've seen his reaction to his various injuries you'd know the guy has a pretty massive pain tolerance.

Soft as butter? And I thought our problem was our inability to spread...

(And I think your assessment is way off. With all the psychological trauma he's been through over many years, I suspect he's one of the mentally toughest players on our list.)

He won't have much chance to build up his upper body before the most crucial year of his vocational life, but hopefully Misson can fatten him up around the middle - see if that helps the bloke.

We could build a better side out of our injury list - than the side we have atm.

Posted

15 on injury list

22 + 3 emergencies to be named

will only be 2 players not selected. My guess is that it will be Cook and Fitz

Be interesting to know to what extent his ongoing shoulder issues over the past couple of months have effected him and his position in the team.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
