The Herald Sun's Footy Barometer says:-

MELBOURNE

Stef Martin (ankle) test

Mark Jamar (calf) 1-2 weeks

Clint Bartram (knee) season

Jamie Bennell (knee) season

Mitch Clark (foot) season

Aaron Davey (foot) season

Max Gawn (knee) season

Cale Morton (shoulder) season

Ricky Petterd (achilles) season

Rory Taggert (back) indefinite

Kelvin Lawrence (calf) left the club

Mark Jamar (calf) 1-2 weeks

Forget about it, must be done for the year. What can we possibly gain by playing him for one more game? Important player who must be put on ice for 2013.

whereas the story on the mfc website contradicts the herald sun column.

it states jamar a chance to return this week via the seniors, and all our injured players, stef Martin included, are out for the year:

www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/145155/default.aspx

I'd take the mfc article as accurate, that sun column always seems to a lot of guesswork involved

From the MFC site:

Jamar a chance to return

Round 22 Melbourne injury list

Mark Jamar (calf) - test

Aaron Davey (foot) - season

Max Gawn (knee) - season

Stef Martin (foot) - season

So that's 9 out for the season

Add Jurrah and Lawrence and you get 11

Is that some sort of record for round 20

There is 2 weeks left, any player with more then 1 week of injury will be listed as season.

One would hope so.

Absolutely no point in risking aggravation of anyone's injury in this twilight of a dismal season.

Get 'em right for preseason and round 1 2013.

Careful. You'll be investigated for tanking......

Clark taggert bartram and gawn at least went down early in the sesson so they should be right for 2013pre season

Does anyone have any details on Taggerts back injury?

Its bad

Sorry I could not resist however it is a good question as nothing is said about it.

Not sure why clubs are so secretive they all seem to do it.

Does anyone have any details on Taggerts back injury?

His initial injury was on one side of his back, so whilst recovering the other side overcompensated and got injured also... apparently it's quite common. I can't explain it well, but Misson talked about it a few times on the weekly injury report video thing. Said they're being ultra-conservative, no need to rush a first year player... should be right for a full preseason. The injury list videos are good, they're worth a watch each week. .
