MFC injury list - 2015

Featured Replies

Does Sam Frost have turf toes like Aaron Sandilands had a couple of years ago..?

IIRC Sandi had an indefinite return date for much of the season as it's a very difficult injury to get right.

 

Hard to see how Frost will play again this year. Probably Kent as well.

I can't see the club rushing back young players for a couple of meaningless games at the end of a non-finals season, given how conservative they have been with other players this year.

This list is different to the info coming from Misson in the latest injury report. vandenBerg 4-6 weeks,

Salem injured his good hammy at training, 4-6 away, Kent 6-8, and frost not even fully out of the moon boot yet. JKH and Dawes to train with Casey and then maybe play for them this weekend

Misson said Garland broke his hand in the first quarter and has had surgery - TBC

Salem 4 weeks after doing the other hammy

Vanders 3-4 week hammy

Kent 4-6

Frost much the same.

JKH and Dawes likely for Casey.

Petracca to have his first run in the next week.

Trenners has another scan late July before running is considered.

FARK.

Grimes in for Garland (inj)

Tyson for Vanders (inj)

ANB for Newton/M Jones (omit)

FML

Garland had a great game, even better when you consider he played with a broken hand

No news on Viney = good news I hope.

Our injury list makes me so sad! :(

Our best 22 is a pretty good side, its our lack of depth that hurts us. We need to find at least two more players from other clubs that are clearly in our best side rather than fringe players such as Newton, Riley and Michie.

I Remember Garland holding arm and signalling the bench to come off. He went up the race but came back on so I assumed it was just a bruise. Some bruise! We can't take a trick on the injury front, we seem to lose a player in every game

Not having Salem available for probably another 6 weeks is shocking news. Kid is hard, has class and poise and uses it well, everything we need of half back.


what's worse than the sheer number of injuries is how so many just keep getting longer and longer

sometimes i think we are treated like mushrooms

And that every player on it is in our best 22!

My father told me a long time ago AAC that thoroughbreds get injured donkeys run around all there lives with no problems.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • 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.
