You know what I want? Just some luck. That'd be nice.

As a physiotherapist, a lot of the assumptions and assumed knowledge on here are frankly garbage. The reality is that soft tissue injuries do not present as a perfect formula. At best we give a framew

Frustrating isn't it in fact Garlo told a mate of mine at the Casey game last Sunday that he expected to be running around this week.

Erring on the side of caution it seems.

Very frustrating considering the club stated on 18th March - Col Garland (ankle) 2-3 weeks away. Af as I recall we have not been informed of any set back or problems as early as this Tuesday.

We are not alone on this. For example Deledio was fine at training, then would miss one week, now misses another and yesterday he said he was now unsure of when he would return. Kreuzer had a similar story, starting with he was fine and ending with 12-14 weeks out and an operation.

Clearly injuries are a very inexact science.

The ebb tide surely - another injury, to Michie this time...and Hogan still a helluva way off, Clark retired.

Not exactly great news.

That's a bit pessimistic... Give or take a week or two, we've got Jamar, Garland, Gawn and Dawes back or close to back, which quite outweighs one broken jaw to a fringe midfielder.

Surely we know by now - whatever Misso tells us, double it.

With the MFC list effectively reduced to 43 (including 4 rookies), we now have an injury list of only 5:-

Jesse Hogan

Colin Garland

Viv Michie

Luke Tapscott

Max Gawn

There's a chance that three of this list will be right to play VFL next week so, fingers crossed, we're getting close to our best position injury-wise in a long time.

It's early but the HUN Barometer has it

MELBOURNE

INJURIES

Jesse Hogan (back) 2-3 weeks

Max Gawn (hamstring) test

Viv Michie (jaw) 3 weeks

Colin Garland (ankle) test

ON THE BLOCK: After Melbourne’s first win for the season it’s hard to see Paul Roos making any major changes for the game against Gold Coast on Sunday afternoon. Dean Terlich has been down in form over the past two weeks and so has Bernie Vince, but they were two of Melbourne’s best in the pre-season. Jeremy Howe is still not yet his usual self, but we saw glimpses of his aerial skills on the weekend and only needs a few touches to have an impact.

ON THE CUSP: Mark Jamar played his second game at VFL level on the weekend and, form permitting, he won’t be too far off returning to the senior team. Jack Trengove wasn’t among Casey’s very best players on the weekend, but it’s only a matter of time before he returns to AFL level. The form player at Casey is rookie Neville Jetta, but he will have to bide his time on the rookie list for now. The Demons are starting to get their full team on the park and Jesse Hogan is 2-3 weeks away, having resumed running in the past 10 days.

ADAM BALDWIN’S FORECAST: There is nothing like a win to restore hope and happiness to a football club. Jack Viney admitted on radio this morning the players felt like they had gone backwards following the Round 1 thumping from West Coast and the win over Carlton will be a huge boost to the confidence of the players in Paul Roos’ game plan. They must build on this momentum and Gold Coast at the MCG will be another challenge. Chris Dawes straightened the side up on the weekend and with almost a full complement of players available, we should start to get a better idea of where the Demons are at.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
