MFC injury list - 2015

Recommended Posts

Did any of the mystery players play with the Casey 2nds?

KC from Casey posted the list of Scorpions players named in the development league (2nds) team and none of them were mystery players.

where's the Pedo? just not picked on the weekend?

Pedo played in the Casey seniors and according to KC dominated. He was possibly left out for team balance reasons but will most likely come into the team for Friday evening's game given that we'll need someone to fill Chris Dawes' spot while he serves his suspension in round 1.

In any event, Georgiou R. R. Martin seems to have solved the mystery with regard to three of the players in his post on page 1 of this thread.

I rate the Pedo. In some aspects, he will give us more than Dawes will come Round 1, if he is selected.

Bernie seems to have been 2-3 weeks from about October last year.

agree RB. starting to worry that this has become a chronic injury. bit of a concern given his age and footy years. he is going to be underdone when he returns despite the amount of running done over preseason. a really important player for us but better that he return mid season than return too early and suffers a recurrence. a difficult balance to get right. management so far suggests a conservative approach by the medical staff which has to be good thing.

White's coming back from his toe injury still. Not injured, but not ready to play a practice match when the combo of rest and rehab is better for him. Same goes for Terlich and Riley, both were running extra after training the other day. I'm not sure on Hunt and King but they both missed a lot of time last year as well and King's missed training time this year. Building their bodies maybe more important than early season games, or maybe they just weren't picked to give more Casey guys a run.

Either way it's 3 weeks until round 1 and these guys don't seem to be in contention, it's also a month or so until the VFL serious matches start. For their own sake I hope Terlich and Riley are declared fully fit and can start playing practice matches, but I don't think it's a conspiracy.

Thankfully for these blokes there will be VFL practice matches played on the weekend before the opening AFL round when no AFL games are played at all. I believe players who have had restricted pre seasons are eligible to apply to play with the VFL aligned teams in these circumstances.

Howe and Vince listed as a test. They should be able to get a Casey game in prior to round one. They did a fair bit of pre-season and they are senior guys so I reckon they could play round 1.

Vince, Howe getting closer to return

NAB Challenge 3 injury list

Jeremy Howe (hamstring) test

Jayden Hunt (back) 2 weeks

Dean Kent (heel) test

Alex Neal-Bullen (knee) 3-4 weeks

Christian Petracca (knee) season

Jack Trengove (foot) indefinite

Bernie Vince (hamstring) test

So by round one we have Trenners out and 2 first year players. Great result MFC, well done!

fantastic result IF nobody gets hurt on Friday

we ALWAYS seem to be missing too many important players for round 1

and then we always lose

looks like it might be different this year (exc Dawes of course)

I noticed in one news article Jones mentioning that he had been in touch with his mate Magner asking him not to injure him as he would like to play round 1.

Love the way Pedo was marking the ball last year,I can't say the same for Dawes but I hope that changes this year.

Since he debuted he has played 179 of a possible 184 games - which is absolutely incredible. Let's hope his steel structure continues to hold all that weight

Sidenote: He could play another 6 years.. 300 games well and truly on the cards, a feat only ever achieved by David Neitz (306 games). Jones could retire with the most games and most best and fairests in our 150 year+ history. Amazing.

If running laps is considered a pre-season, then you're right. Neither have been involved in match simulations since Xmas, so if all goes well, I'm thinking a round 3 return at best.

Amazing that the club didn't listen to a large swathe of 'knowledgable' D'Landers that wanted him gone after 1 and 2 seasons......

Hopefully we'll be able to go deep in a finals series or two in the near future to help his tally along :)

When good management and a whole s***load of luck combine, you get a short and promising injury list like this.

Vince has 10+ preseasons under his belt. even at 80% he get picked over some of our bottom 6

Howe is a freak of an athlete so I dont expect him to need 5 more weeks of training and 3-4 casey games to be right either

fingers crossed

And that's something that's been long overdue at this club!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
