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

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.

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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
