    Melbourne is nearing a full strength list, with just Clark and Dawes on the injury list this week.

    Round five injury list

    Mitch Clark (foot) test

    Chris Dawes (hamstring) test

    That is incredible.

    Injured Demon Clark down, but not out for the count

    they the fd have always said the 3 preseason fitness regime would pay off. hopefully this could be the signs of what they have been saying all along. time patience and everybody talking positive about our reserves is what we need to continue untill the end of 2014

    Dawes said he would be playing seniors in 2-3 weeks, so he thinks a game or two for Casey and straight in, with Clark missing def this week, not sure about the week after he just may be back in two.

    He did say they had gradually built him up this time so the chance of reoccurrence is very small.

    I really rate Dawes and if he can get back to the promise he was showing before his hand injury, we will have a top player who will be a leader for the club. I'm not really superstitious, but I am now touching all the wooden furniture here, which has been made a little harder by all the toes and fingers I am now crossing in response to the opening post. Doesn't make it easy to type either lol

    No, the thread starter.

    So few things go right for us, why tempt fate?!

    We are one Nathan Jones injury away from packing up and calling it a season.

  • Quote

    What he doesn't tell us is the status of Dunne and Joel Mac so we really don't know how prepared they are and whether they need a run at Casey. Yesterday Viney looked to be struggling with that ankle and may be rested. Easy to forget that Toumpas and Sellar didn't get a game at all on the weekend.

    Good God, just IMAGINE how bad we'd be without Jonesy?!!!! Whilst he's no Chris Judd, he's the guts and heart, in fact the whole viscera, of this team. Not sure I can think of any player who's been more important to the MFC in the context of the time he's playing in. And his game to game resilience for his career thus far is Stynes and Tuck-like. Touch wood people!!!!!!!!!!

    Doc Larkins just said on 3AW that Mitch Clark's foot has swollen up and that he's looking at "extended time". He said it's more than just a sprain, as the club is saying.

    Doc Larkins is the WebMD of footy people, can we just wait and see please? They've confirmed it's not Lisfranc.

    Did he inspect the foot?

    The club has a history of under playing injuries and the time required, I'll be holding my breath on this until confirmed he is back out on the track.

    Pity those two are our most important players forward. Not much they can do about that though.

    you know Larkins works with the bulldogs and essendon doctor and the former Melbourne doctor.

    And you know a lisfranc is a mid foot fracture dislocation and clark has a midfoot strain. It's like the compare the market and compare the meerkat ad. Simples

    Without having seen the updates, are Gillies and Stark mentioned? As they have also been missing through injury of late..

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
