    Adelaide injury list

    This site suggests it's a broken leg in R15 this year. Cute of the MFC presser to ignore that and talk about his broken arm early in the season.

    Cute...

    Why not mention it Matt? It will take the pressure off the kid when he gets bombarded on twitter about why he isn't training, where is he, etc.

    Just mention he is still recovering from a broken leg.

    And I hope we gave him a 2+ year contract - 2014 is as good as done unless he can get a decent amount of pre season into his legs, one of which is broken...

    Though none with a more frightened face Bitty. Or maybe not......

    Very much in the style of Sloane. Similar height and weight. Ferocious attack on the footy. All good from me.

    I wonder if that was him I noticed in the Pre Season footage in the website I couldn't recognize..??

    Are we sure he's still recovering from a broken leg?

    I thought I saw him a couple of times in the footage of preseason training on the club website today.

    I did my tib and fib many years ago, I was in plaster for 6 months, it was a spiral fracture, pretty nasty, they pin them nowadays.

    Still haven't included him in the team photos on the MFC site. Should be updated soon with the new draftees.

    I spoke to him at training and took his photo, it's on my twitter, his recovery is where it should be, he was leaving to do off legs work with Dean Kent, no limp, no strapping

    I would be more interested in training photos posted on this site than twitter; I can't understand the fascination of people trying to build up a twitter following.

    I guess it's some sort of ego stroking.

    Interesting looking at your twitter you seem to try and interact with the players with the thousand of times you talk to them, not one of them ever reply back to you...?

    Does anyone know if this bloke will be right to go round 1. I like what I've seen of him.

    I'd say a significant ankle injury in round 15 would mean that whilst he would be fit to play in round 1 he probably wont be at his best until much later. With only 2 nab challenge games and both on them coming early in the year and a delayed start to VFL I wouldn't expect to see him until round 5 or after.

    Gee some of the posters on here really have some issues, you do need to get out from behind the keyboard

    I don't tweet to get replies, they only reply amongst themselves, opens the door for trolls, why they don't come on here as well.........I get acknowledgement when I talk to them or they favourite it.....not really bothered, put the photos there for anyone that is interested

    Hence why I spoke to Aidan and took his photo, asked him about his leg, like I do with all the players, if you don't want to read it then don't

    One reason may be that it is a simple matter of uploading an image to Twitter. To show photos here requires a Tumblr (for example) or similar account to which you upload images and then link to them from here. So, it may just be he posts to twitter for convenience sake.

    Twitter is far from ego stroking as the only people who see your posts are those who follow you. Personally, I like twitter as a great source of information as many journos, people with links to the arts etc have accounts and post links to breaking news, events etc.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
