MFC injury list - 2015


Chelly

Recommended Posts

It sucks but the injury list could be worse in terms of who is injured. I won't jinx it by giving examples, but it could be a LOT worse. The Giants just lost their first choice ruckman, FB and CHB in one hit. Gold Coast barely have enough players to field a side.

Grimes is a real shame though as he was building into some decent form.

Our injury list is same length as gold coasts

Well Watts and Toumpas are "starting to show something" aren't they? You are clearly a fan of instant pudding and two minute noodles.

You mean like Hogan, VB and Gus? Toumpas is only in his third year and was injury affected.

Of course you're allowed to say that, but you'll just get shouted down by the sensible people who actually have watched his progress this year and noted how much more value he is providing.

It isn't that hard to see, and there is absolutely no way he is being delisted this year (and I don't even know if he is out of contract).

Don't think anyone said he was going to be delisted. But he's surely a player that could be used as trade bait at years end.

No it isn't. Theirs currently sits at 16 players. Their list also comprises their best 5 midfielders - Ablett, O'Meara, Bennell, Prestia, Swallow. Imagine our side without Jones, Vince, Viney, Tyson and Cross. GC have been decimated this season. The two are incomparable.

Strewth are we cursed? Play a game loose 2, play a game loose 2 more. At this rate we won't be able to field a side. What shytes me is this not a one off, it happens year on year. We don't have depth so we seem to be always playing at around 60% of our potential. No wonder we struggle to get off the bottom rungs.

And what has Hunt done? The kid has been injured for two years.

Broken Jaw

The injuries has reduced our list to the quality of this time last year.

We know how the last half of 2014 turned out it is difficult to see us winning too many more games with the current list to choose from.

Misson needs to go. Not just because of injuries but also for our lack of conditioning to be able to run out quarters.

Yes.....because how dare he be responsible for broken bones...concussions....

We have 3 hamstring injuries which is the average over all sides

Stop looking for people to blame.

The Melbourne injury list from the Age

Jack Fitzpatrick (adductor) test

Sam Frost (toe) 5 weeks

Colin Garland (hand) test

Jack Grimes (thumb) 6-8 weeks

Jesse Hogan (hamstring soreness) - test

Jayden Hunt (jaw) 3-4 weeks

Dean Kent (hamstring) 5 weeks

Ben Newton (concussion) test

Cam Pedersen (wrist) season

Christian Petracca (knee) season

Christian Salem (hamstring) 3-4 weeks

Jack Trengove (knee) season

Aaron vandenBerg (hamstring) 3-4 weeks

Snail's pace progress from players like Frost and Kent suggests that it won't be long before they have the word "season" posted after their names.

Does anyone have any inside info as to just what "toe injury" frost suffered? Was it more a foot injury than just a phalanx?

Is Kent (and Salem) doing running?

Its a pity SATY was eventually ground down from reporting on injuries and training.

Looks like we will almost have a complete list come finals time.

he did get a new job though which might be a factor too

And a new scooter as part of the package?

Good to see some progress on injured players, however small it might be.

Bit of frost bite I believe from the Melbourne weather

The Saints have a "problem".

This is their Round 13 injury list:-

Jack Billings (Shin) Test

Sam Fisher (Hamstring) Test

Dylan Roberton (Foot) Test

In other words, if those three players all pass their fitness test tonight, St. Kilda will have a full playing list for the weekend. In any event, they don't have any players on the long-term injury list and are therefore only entitled to upgrade one player off their rookie list - and that's their "problem".

St Kilda keen for rookie list review after Adam Schneider and Jack Sinclair decision.

I wonder whether the day will come when we have such a problem?

This injury list is out of date. Fitzy was the best player for Casey on the weekend. Vanders and Salem were listed 3-4 weeks in Misson's report the days after the Pies game. They should now be listed as 1-2 weeks, and they were doing run throughs at training yesterday. Its been a couple of weeks since we've seen the video injury report.

In Kents case and because of the nature of the injury, if its really slow progress, that may be a wise choice.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
