Maxy was just on Ch 7 News and says could be back next week for the Bulldogs game :)

With a completely straight face Max said: "I trained on Saturday with the boys and was best on, so if I keep that form going, I should be all right." :rolleyes: Only Max could conjure up a BOG at training to push his case!!

Great to see that Joel Smith is only a couple of weeks away. He was incredibly unlucky to be injured in the opening quarter of his debut and deserves another shot provided a spot opens up.


I kinda threw up a little bit seeing Hogan as 4-6! They could've made it anything else. Hell make it indefinite! But not 4-6! :wacko:

Jesse Hogan is dealing with cancer and not some ordinary soft tissue injury. The situation has to be dealt with sensibly and with due sensitivity. This involves dealing not only with the physical but with the psychological side of things that often demands patience and time. In that regard, the timeline has come down from "indefinite" to 4 - 6 weeks and as fans, we should be accepting of that. 

 

Jonesy rest up brother were gonna need you at the pointy end. It may not seem like it but its a blessing in disguise for you to launch into the finals fresh as a daisy.

Skipper Jones out 4-6 weeks,  The man that never misses a game.  This is uncharted territory for the Dees.

 

4-6 weeks?  We'll never see him again! 


WTF. I have started to enjoy footy again.

Jones out 4-6 weeks.

Watts doubtful.

Hibberd pulled up sore and in doubt this week.

Stretch and JKH on the plane as standbys this week.

Thank god big Max is back.

In other and better news Gawny is a definite for this week, while it looks like Watts, Jetta and Hunt should all be fine for the West Coast game.  Watts will need to pass a fitness test on Thursday, although Misson did say he had pulled up very well from the weekend.

Hibberd also in doubt I understand.

"Sore" apparently.

Thought Jones' issue was groin? Didn't know the calf bone is connected to the hip bone!


It's his quad....

He's only missed 5 games since his debut, unbelievable

It's a quad strain. 

How does Josh Kennedy blow up his leg and miss 2-3 and our soft tissues miss 4-6?

It's almost every time too. Gawn was a standard 4 week string...of course it then ends up being 12!

Hibberd not even mentioned as a test in the injury list

Damn frustrating just when we get Gawn back lose Jones - so hard to get the full side together

Would be good to see trenners at least as emergency

Not only an opportunity for our mids to get creative with covering Jones loss and learning for the long term, but also an opportunity for Jack Viney to captain the club in a very important part of the year with big Max to offer additional ruck and leadership support. Will hold him/us in good stead long term

While we seem to have tamed Etihad and won 3 of 4 games this year, it is still taking an almighty toll on our players. 

The soft tissue injuries to our most valuable players (Gawn/Jones) happened there. 

That ground is costing us big time!

 

 

Poor old Jonesy finally gets to play in a team in good form on a roll and does his quad

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
