Hunt is training so hopefully he is able to play VFL in a week or so. And where is ANB? Is he ready to go all of a sudden?

ANB played in the Casey 2's last week and went ok on 50% playing time from reports.

    Yes good point CHF he did play the development league and hopefully Hunt can gear up this week. Any idea how ANB went?

    MELBOURNE

    INJURIES

    Jayden Hunt (back) 1-2 weeks

    Christian Petracca (knee) season

    Jack Trengove (foot) season

    Sam Frost (foot) 4-6

    Dean Kent (hamstring) 10-12 weeks

    Neville Jetta (concussion) Test

    ON THE BLOCK: Its hard to see Paul Roos making any forced changes after such a spirited win. Dean Kent will miss 10 to 12 weeks after he elected to have surgery on his injured hamstring. Jack Watts lifted his intensity after a disappointing performance against the Crows and laid four tackles along with 14 disposals and a goal.

    ON THE CUSP: Jack Grimes was named best on ground for Casey in their loss to the Bulldogs, while Jimmy Toumpas gathered 28 touches and applied seven tackles. Toumpas for Kent would make sense, while Grimes has certainly done enough at VFL level.

    ADAM BALDWINS FORECAST: While Melbournes win on Friday night surprised the competition, those within the walls of Demonland were quietly confident going into the match. The Demons now have the attacking weapons to compliment their pressure game and made Richmond look second rate. Jesse Hogan, Aaron vandenBerg, Christian Salem, Ben Jacobs and Viv Michie have changed the look of the side and even the most cynical Dees must acknowledge the worm has turned. Fremantle is one of the form sides of the competition, but as St Kilda proved last year, it can be done.

    I don't know who this Ben Jacobs is but Ben Newton says "hello".

    Not to mention Adam Baldwin reading these forums ...

    Ouch! 'Rookie Mitch White missed last rounds VFL due to a toe injury. He had an accident on the gym, where he dropped a 50kg dumbbell on his toe, which didnt tickle, he said'.

    Understatement!

    Extract from Misson report: Jetta to miss more than one.

    In summary:

    Sam Frost (fractured toe) 8 weeks

    Jayden Hunt (back) 2 weeks

    Neville Jetta (concussion) 1 week

    Dean Kent (hamstring) 12 weeks

    Christian Petracca (knee) season

    Jack Trengove (foot) season

    Jack Viney (fractured fibula) 2-3 weeks

    Mitch White (toe) available

    Looks like Frost will be out longer than expected. Impressed that White is available after dropping that 50kg on his toe!

    Jetta set to miss again

    Can't be too careful I suppose.

    Hopefully Neville pulls up ok for the Hawks clash next week.

    Melbourne injury list: round six

    Chris Dawes (calf) – test
    Sam Frost (toe) – 4-6 weeks
    Jayden Hunt (back) – available
    Neville Jetta (concussion) – test
    Dean Kent (hamstring) – 10 weeks
    Christian Petracca (knee) – season
    Jack Trengove (foot) – season
    Jack Viney (fibula) – 2 weeks

    It's a bit disappointing to see Frost still listed at 4-6.

    For a big toe injury...

    Have to say I'm a bit confused with the concussion guidelines. Didn't that Adelaide player (forget who) get knocked out, carted off the field and then played the next week against us a few weeks ago? My understanding is that they judge the recovery by doing the concussion test that is judged on responses by the player taken from his baseline answers, is that correct? If so I think you may need to be look at Nev's baseline data?

    Must have been a big whack.

    No wonder Footballers from the 60's-90's are now having problems.

    Nev's had a handful of concussions since Christmas, hence the conservative approach. It's not from just the one incident.

    I thought Roos said a couple of weeks ago that Jetta had sufferers a couple of knocks over a short timeframe.

    Given Bail and Jetta seem to get concussed running through the banner, why don't either of them wear a helmet? Just crazy.

    Probably because there's no evidence to say they prevent concussion.

    Probably not a bad week to miss. Sydney aren't really blessed with quality small forwards, particularly if McGlynn doesn't play. Hawthorn on the other hand ...

    Thanks guys. I find that really surprising. From memory Jetta's recent one was Howe sailing through for a mark and his knee glanced Jetta across the temple. Would have thought some padding there would have helped enormously.

    I think the issue is more the "wobbling" of the brain rather than the actual impact, this is why a helmet may not help as you would still get the wobble if you know what I mean

    A helmet would make the impact longer though which would decrease the impulse. Then surely the brain would be 'wobbled' less?

    It was actually a result of Howe taking that high grab against Richmond. Poor Nev got the knee in the face and will now miss 2 games for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
