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

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

[Pates 9,661]

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

[hardtack 10,646]

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)

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

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.

Maybe they meant he'd been kneed in the shoulder...

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

[binman 43,867]

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.

Neeld suggested it last week Jnr.

[Devo 104]

Nicholson and Stef Martin missing from that list too

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

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!

[stuie 7,374]

That list is a little different from the official one on the MFC website which lists Morton as gone for the year, and Jurrah still a week away...

Morton to miss rest of season

[Guest KingDingAling]

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

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.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,909]

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

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.)

Morton to miss rest of season

[rpfc 28,802]

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.

Narrow visioned ignorance

[Guest KingDingAling]

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

[olisik 4,060]

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

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Perhaps we'll be accused of tanking again.

[PaulRB 6,411]

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.
