Was there a thread or match report for the hit out the guys had on Friday?

    It looks like Kent, Garlett, Jetta and Hibberd will be fit for round 1. Whether they are picked due to lack of match practice is another question

    For what?

    Someone made mention that he came off during training on Tuesday. Not sure what the incident was

    DD36 reposted a BigFooty post from Vital Dread in the Casey Preseason thread page 2 post 33.  Too hard to link on my mobile.

    Lol.

    Whenever Burgo conducts these injury update videos with Misson, I can't help but laugh.

    It looks like Misson is having the shittest time of his life talking about it and Burgo seems scared to ask about anything and fumbles his way through the questions.

    And there's rarely anything other than vague time-lines of where players are at.

    Also heard nothing about how Wagner is going.

    Lol everytime?

    I've noticed this with almost all of his interviews. I get a real timid vibe about his work. I actually feel for him.

    Hibberd has been ruled out of round 1 according to SEN.

    Article now on MFC website saying he won't play this weekend at Casey or Round 1. They are being cautious with an Achilles injury. Don't think we'll see him for a few weeks. Hopefully it doesn't become long term and we can get him back soon. He'll be a key to our back line this season. Great interceptor and booming kick. Frees up Hunt more as well.

    Seems a long time if someone just stood on his achillies. Who was it, Paris?

    The injury updates are a waste of time. 

    The club gives us nothing and I know they have to be cautious about releasing info about players but it really faaarks me off. 

    We r left in the dark.

    Saw him in the rehab group today, looked pretty fit to me and I`d say very close to returning to the main group. In fact all in rehab group moved really well. Mitch White looked OK too but did see him chatting to a trainer and pointing to his instep of his foot, but soldiered on . Maynard was in rehab and looks in superb nic, ran a lot of laps at serious 3/4 pace. Hunt as discussed in training thread looked fine, got a headknock during training so just taking it easy but should be good for round 1.

    The bolded are the only ones worth mentioning, the others are playing, therefore no longer injured.

    Hibberd might be a couple of weeks and Frost is pretty much right to go judging by a recent training report.  Wagner is also not far away.

    The AFL site has struggled for accuracy in the past with its injury lists. Here's its current attempt at Melbourne's current list -

    Sam Frost (toe) test
    Colin Garland (knee) TBC
    Jeff Garlett (hamstring) test
    Michael Hibberd (Achilles) 1-2 weeks
    Mitch King (knee) TBC
    Joel Smith (toe) test
    Dom Tyson (knee) available
    Aaron vandenBerg (foot) 4-6 weeks

    You can add "season" in place of TBC after Colin Garland's name.

    Anyone know on which date the club's own injury list get published?

    At a date of their choosing...

    more likely to be early hours of the morning (say 1-2am)...

    mentioning all injured players as 4-6 weeks...

    then having the list removed some 59 seconds after being published 

    :cool: Moral of the story - Published injury lists are a waste of time and you are better of listening to the DL members with an ounce of credibility :)

    • 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.
