Anyone heard anything regarding his ankle? really hope its not serious as i think he could be real important player for us and step up a level. i could see him pushing into the midfield this.

Anyway just thought if anyone knew anything. thought the club would have something by now.

    I thought he looked worried when it happened in the tackle.

    He was lucky to get his leg out from under his body.

    I think the club will err on the side of caution to make sure it recovers.

    I'm sure there is some mental scars left over from his last injury which set him back 2+ years.

    Was it the same leg he broke? That may have played on his mind, if it was. Hope it's nothing too much

    Sh*t result. He had a good preseason, looked prime up until the injury too. He definitely looked worried when he pulled his leg out quickly from under himself after he was tackled. Commentators noted it as well. It's best to take a cautious approach considering his history. Let's just hope it doesn't hamper him long term and it's not another never-ending dreaded 4-6.

    Feel for young Sam first real pre season looked fit and firing. There is a lot of fitness lost in 4 - 6 weeks.

  • Quote

    I assume that he will still be able to do non weight bearing exercise with a high sprained ankle (whatever that is). Lots of bikes and swimming should help him maintain his fitness base i would have thought. Can a fitness expert confirm or shoot down that theory.

    Yep, we're on our knees. And all because of one sprained ankle.

    Chill guys. The Ox did his knee in the '95 Pre season. That was Gut Wrenching.

    The kid sprained his ankle. Coupla Weeks he will jog and run again.

    The amount of 426's we have received means that every time there's a post with this subject, i'm never sure whether to take it seriously.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • 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.
