The continuing saga of Melbourne's injury list - 2014

Featured Replies

Interesting talking about incompetent medical teams.

So much comes down to what the players actually tells the medicos - players who's sole motivation is getting on the ground and playing the game they love.

Would you suggest Hawthorns medical staff are incompetent - Gibson has a slightly sore shoulder - Hawks give him leave to travel 16 hours on a plane to see his girfriend in the US during the bye - he comes back and says his shoulder is now REALLY sore - he has a torn pectoral - out for 10 weeks.

the missionary position isn't great for shoulders/pecs/upper body.

A bit of a simplification.

Gibson had movement and no swelling. He also participated in a recovery session and felt fine - all of which pointed to a tweak.

Paraphrasing Doc Larkins on Ed and Derm, it was a tough one to diagnose (small area which connects near the shoulder and not a lot of signs). He also mentioned the flight was no issue.

 

What the hell happened to Spencer's ankle? All of a sudden he looks like he's out for most of the year!

Shame for Clisby too - he was right on the verge a couple of times and I'd be surprised if he got back in now this year.

Not sure of the specifics of Spencer's injury, but I've had ankle issues in the past, and it's very easy to re-injure or aggravate them. You can feel good to go, but then set yourself back to square one if you kick a footy too early, or even step awkwardly when running.

Shannon Byrnes joins Melbourne's injury list:-

Round 11

Shannon Byrnes (foot) – 2-4 weeks

Mitch Clisby (quadriceps) – 2-4 weeks

James Frawley (toe/hamstring) – test

Jesse Hogan (back) – indefinite

Max King (leg) – 4 weeks

Jake Spencer (ankle) – 4-6 weeks

Jack Trengove (foot) – season

To me that looks like No Injuries.

Wont miss Byrnes.

Clisby although close hasn't played

Frawley back on track

Hogan has never played so won''t miss him

King - Rookie

Spencer - Gawn and jamar are doing better

Trengove haven't missed him.

 

I read the N.Jones article in today's Age - supposedly Pig Dog out and the Toump is in....

Anyone know what's happened to Pig Dog?

Jayden Hunt joins the list of injured with "back tightness" while Jesse Hogan remains indefinite even though he's about to start light training again.

Melbourne injury list: round 12

Shannon Byrnes (ankle) – 2-3 weeks

Mitch Clisby (quadriceps) – 2-3 weeks

Jesse Hogan (back) – indefinite

Jayden Hunt (back) – 2-4 weeks

Max King (leg) – 3-4 weeks

Jake Spencer (ankle) – 4-6 weeks


And no mention anywhere anytime as far as I am aware as to why PigDog missed last week, or whether he has recovered from this nasty mystery condition.

You're presuming he had a mystery condition. He could have just been omitted in preference to Toumpas.

For all the negativity about the ability of our fitness staff at the beginning of the season our injury list this year has been exceptional.

Just a shame about the quality of the people who seemed to be on it! That amplified the angst, I think - the quantity is really good, as you suggest.

I have a feeling he was omitted from the side. When you think about it last week the sub wasn't going to be Salem or JKH again, riley was the only other real option for the sub and I don't think he's game really suits it. I think maybe they went for Toumpas knowing he could play as the sub and provide more run than riley.. Just a thought

This is this week's list according to this morning's HUN. I'm unsure if it's the official list because Jayden Hunt should also be there.

Shannon Byrnes (foot) – 2-3 weeks

Mitch Clisby (quadriceps) – 2-4 weeks

James Frawley (toe/hamstring) - test

Jesse Hogan (back) – indefinite

Max King (leg) – 2-3 weeks

Jake Spencer (ankle) – 4 weeks

Jack Trengove (foot) - season

Looks like an old list - unless Frawley's problems have returned.

Latest list from melbournefc: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-06-11/hogan-making-progress-misson

Shannon Byrnes (foot) – 1-2 weeks
Mitch Clisby (quadriceps) – 2 weeks
Jesse Hogan (back) – indefinite
Jayden Hunt (back) – 4-6 weeks
Max King (leg) – 2 weeks
Jake Spencer (ankle) – 3-4 weeks
Jack Trengove (foot) – season

Mixed news on the injury front with Jake Spencer now requiring surgery and out for the rest of the season. Shannon Byrnes is available and Jesse Hogan is now a 6 week proposition but really should IMO be put in mothballs for 2015 (as long as the AFL permits us to do this in writing because I wouldn't want to think someone will accuse us of tanking in three or four year's time).

Melbourne injury list: round 14

Shannon Byrnes (ankle) – available

Mitch Clisby (quadriceps) – 1 week

Jesse Hogan (back) – 6 weeks

Jayden Hunt (back) – 4-6 weeks

Max King (leg) – 1 week

Jack Trengove (foot) – season

Right now with the exception of Hogan we are pretty well off injury wise the rest are probably not first choice options.

I'd like to think a fully fit Jack Trengove is a first choice option. Hopefully he'll prove to us that he is next year.

I'm bookmarking this post and will bump it about halfway through next season when Trengove is smashing it.

 

I wonder if a certain poster will change his tune on our "incompetent" medical team and suggest that they have moved to Hawthorn who have a horrific injury list.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
