MFC injury list - 2015

Featured Replies

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.
 

If Blease plays we will have to put a hard tag on him.

Close.. for accuracy I would suggest we put a soft tag on him.

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.

If Blease plays we will have to put a hard tag on him.

Like Cale Morton?


Finally some good news:

Hogan, Garland set for return

JKH available

Grimes: Jack Grimes has had some positive news with his thumb and he may be looking to return earlier than expected, Mahoney said.

Hogan, Garland set for Darwin return

According to this article we only won by two points.

Better than channel 9's interpretation of the result ;)

Two best 22 players return and no new injuries. Makes for a nice change.

Lets hope Jones doesn't decide to go surfing along the reef over his break.

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.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
