The continuing saga of Melbourne's injury list - 2014

Featured Replies

According to MFC website:Youngsters push round one claim

Mitch Clark (personal leave) TBC

Chris Dawes (calf) 2-3 weeks

Col Garland (ankle) 2-3 weeks

Jesse Hogan (back) TBA

Mark Jamar (foot) 1-2 weeks

Aidan Riley (leg) 3-4 weeks

Jack Viney (concussion) test

TBC means placed on LTI = 8 weeks

TBA means we haven't got a clue, probably anywhere between 2-3 weeks and see you in July/August

 

lets hope Jack Viney comes up for round 1

With the added cautiousness around concussion nowadays I would not be holding my breath.

i know, its wishful thinking

doubt he will play


Pretty sure Chris Dawes 2-3 weeks has been like that for 2-3 weeks....

Viney did very little at training today. A few laps and some run throughs with Hogan. Left early. He is a long shot and he hasn't got much practice game time under his belt.

 

Anyone know what is wrong with Jamars foot? He has barely trained all pre season from what I have read so how would he have hurt it and been out for so long?

He is the originator of MFC soft tissueitis Got it in 2012 and has so far infected Dawes and Clark.

Seriously do we actually care with Jamar.

He is gone as far as I can see, he has been injured for long periods every year since 2010.

We have some reasonable ruckman in Spencer and Gawn no longer required is my view.


Dawes is off to the AIS in Canberra to seek treatment on his calf injuries.

2 to 3 likely to be the classic MFC 4 to 6!

Yes.

He's legs are as tough as a bag of marshmallows.

2013 all over again.

The amusing part if there is one is that people were saying we should trade Fitzy because we had too many big forwards.

Ha Ha he is not the next Wayne Carey but he is way better than anyone currently fit enough to take the field in 2014.

It's absolutely ridiculous the quality of forwards we have on the injury list.


On a brighter note, how good is that our midfield group minus VIney have had an almost flawless preseason. Excellent news.

Exactly OD! I really wanted to trade Jamar after 2011 & 2012

Yes.

Spot on again IMO. I love how Fitzy's really improved and, despite his diabetic past, keeps himself reliably ready to play!

Col is one we will miss in that backline. Sorry but when did Jamar hurt his foot. He hasnt played for so long I just forget what made him miss a lot of last year.

Has he found a cure for type one diabetes Rob Mac?

Oh yes RTG, I should think so! :-) No I have no details, heard he was doing very well managing it and respect that he keeps himself on the park.

We really wont know until about round 6 how the mid field is shaping up. Although i agree, on paper it does look like a significant improvement on last years offering. Even after 6 weeks i wont be judging them too harshly though. It takes a season or 2 at least for a substantially new group to really gell together.

Footy speak for 426

Enlighten me pls OD, havent been on much of late

No problem RN

Four to six weeks

Got it?

Viney did very little at training today. A few laps and some run throughs with Hogan. Left early. He is a long shot and he hasn't got much practice game time under his belt.

So what exactly is wrong with Viney?He was listed as concussed wasn't he?

So when will he be right?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
