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

This week he was taken off the long-term injury list.

It sounds like he's back training and no longer considered injured.

 
 

worst is that Vanders is out until round 10 (at least)


Injury List 4-4-17

Colin Garland (knee) – season

Michael Hibberd (Achilles) – 1-2 weeks

Liam Hulett (hip) – 1 week

Mitch King (knee) – 3 weeks

Pat McKenna (hamstring) – 6-8 weeks

Joel Smith (shoulder) – 3-4 months

Aaron vandenBerg (heel) – 6-8 week

 

seems to be getting better, we just need to get those that arent 'injured' match fit - Kent, Frost, Wagner etc.

Michael "1 to 2" Hibberd.

I hope we get to see him in the first half of the year.

From the AFL site .

"However, there is better news for key recruit Michael Hibberd who is slated to return from an Achilles complaint via the VFL against Williamstown on Easter Monday"

 Didnt Hibbard play a half last weekend?? Obviously something flared up...which is not a good sign. Weird though to talk about his return game after he already played it.

Good pickup DubDee - 2 weeks ago Vanders was "426" (groan) and a week later 6 and now 6-8 weeks.  Going downhill rapidly.

Hibbo seems to be coming good, slowly.

Bad luck Patty McKenna, glad to hear it didn't require surgery. Looking forward to seeing you on the park.

When you look at the list on the Melbourne website it looks huge - but they've included many who are now 'available' on that list.  This list doesn't look too bad with those taken out, and hopefully Hibberd is off that list by next weekend as well.

The injury list from the MFC site -

Melbourne injury list: round three

Angus Brayshaw (head knock) – available
Colin Garland (knee) – season
Michael Hibberd (Achilles) – 1-2 weeks
Jesse Hogan (suspension) – 2 weeks
Jay Kennedy-Harris (arm) – available
Liam Hulett (hip) – 1 week
Mitch King (knee) – 3 weeks
Jordan Lewis (suspension) – 3 weeks
Pat McKenna (hamstring) – 6-8 weeks
Joel Smith (shoulder) – 3-4 months
Aaron vandenBerg (heel) – 6-8 weeks
Bernie Vince (suspension) – available
Mitch White (ankle) – available

Available

Remarkable. By all reports he had a good preseason, but when he went down I had a sinking feeling it was curtains for JKH in the red & blue. Extended recovery and then regaining fitness before trying to force his way back into a loaded team. Available as early as next round is an excellent result. I'm still not sure he'll make it but good luck to the young man.

Obviously nothing. You needed to get confirmation of the question before making the assertions.

No, he didn't play.

It's only a little thing but I wish injury lists looked this with players "available" not listed and the players in order of how long they are expected to be out for:

Colin Garland (knee) – season
Joel Smith (shoulder) – 3-4 months
Pat McKenna (hamstring) – 6-8 weeks
Aaron vandenBerg (heel) – 6-8 weeks
Mitch King (knee) – 3 weeks
Jordan Lewis (suspension) – 3 weeks
Jesse Hogan (suspension) – 2 weeks
Michael Hibberd (Achilles) – 1-2 weeks
Liam Hulett (hip) – 1 week

I don't mind suspended players being there, maybe just call it "unavailable players" instead but it's good to have all the information neatly summarised.

oops  brain fade... It was Frost and Wagner that played.

On the injury list, only Hibberd would be in my best 22.  Joel Smith was so unlucky as he showed ability at the highest level. 

Hogan & Lewis obviously suspended.

  • 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.
