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

Here it is and not surprisingly, it differs from the one on the afl.com.au site (that is not to suggest the following is accurate):-

Melbourne injury list: round one

Sam Frost (toe) – test
Colin Garland (knee) – season
Michael Hibberd (Achilles) – 2-3 weeks
Liam Hulett (hip) – 3-4 weeks
Jay Kennedy-Harris (arm) – 2-3 weeks
Mitch King (knee) – 5 weeks
Aaron vandenBerg (heel) – 4-6 weeks
Josh Wagner (fibula) – 2-3 weeks
Mitch White (ankle) – 2-3 weeks

    Of that list above, you could argue that Frost, Hibberd and AVB are in the best 22, while the others are on the outside looking in.  It's a longer injury list than we'd like, but we're not missing too many crucial players, so we can't complain too much.  And of those crucial players, Frost should be back very soon and Hibberd is hopefully back within a month.

    Jkh is hurt more often than he isn't. Poor guy just can't stay on the park.

    McCartin was mentioned (on 3AW?) as a possible late withdrawal.

    So how long does a (Im assuming it was dislocated) shoulder take to come good? 4-2-6??

  • Quote

    Mentioned on 3AW yesterday that the standard time out for this type of injury is 12 weeks ...... not great

    We seem to be suffering an injury curse this year. Luckily not to key players but it will test us if a few more go down.

    The absence of another player on our list due to the Lumumba saga may yet become a factor

    Has it been confirmed yet if its a break or a dislocation? Would have had scans by now.....? I wouldnt have thought it would be a break from the way he went down......but who knows.

  • Quote

    I spoke with one of the staff behind the coaches box at three qtr time, he said they were waiting scan but could be 4-12 weeks.

    Four months ... and that means he goes back to the rookie list at least until he recovers.

    Does he? Wouldn't it be the LTI list as he was elevated to the senior list. 

    Then another rookie may get elevated if the club sees the benefit, and we have cap space.

    If Frosty is fit does he come in for Smith? Our backline stocks have taken a hammering already.

    This week's injury list is out - 

    Smith, Garland undergo surgery

    Melbourne injury list: round two

    Sam Frost (toe) – available
    Colin Garland (knee) – season
    Max Gawn (back) – available
    Jay Kennedy-Harris (arm) – 1 week
    Mitch King (knee) – 4 weeks
    Michael Hibberd (Achilles) – 2 weeks
    Liam Hulett (hip flexor) – 2 weeks
    Joel Smith (shoulder) – 3-4 months
    Aaron vandenBerg (heel) – 6 weeks
    Josh Wagner (fibula) – available

    Whilst both Sam Frost and Josh Wagner are available and expected to play games this weekend, I think it's fair to say they are most likely to be seen in action at Casey Fields on Saturday and not the MCG on Sunday.

    Nice to see JKH just a week off...speedy recovery. Hopefully he'll be able to make his mark at Casey soon and put himself in the frame for selection.

  • Quote

    Frost and Wagner both available,  thats great timing and a big boost for us.

  • Quote

    If you take out the available players, we only have 7 who are injured, JKH is only a week away while Hibberd is just two weeks away.  That's not too bad all things considered.

    I agree and the most important aspect is that none of those currently injured are first ten picked. 

    I do worry for Hibberd though. He has the ability to wander into the "automatically picked each week" category and at his best could make a real positive difference to the side. However his achilles injury coupled with spending a year out of the game and I wouldn't be completely surprised to not see him in Melbourne colours till after the bye.

    Mitch White was down as 2 - 3 weeks in the previous list but now no longer noted. Has he recovered or just been forgotten?

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
