Injury report: pre round one

This one interests me. No mention at all of the metatarsal injury - so it’s either migrated from the toe to the metatarsal and back to the toe or it was always the toe and there was no hot spot?

Tom McDonald (toe) – test

“Tom’s just had a bit of a sore toe for probably four to six weeks, and we’ve been managing his loads. But we just felt we needed to bite the bullet and get him off legs for 10 to 12 days. We’re going to start to load him towards the end of this week, and just see how that goes. We’ll make a decision on Tom next week.”

Take the extra week & play Pedo with Hoges.  I hope they do not play him TMc, just for Rnd1 gate attendance/memberships.

Its the business end, that we want to be full strength, & bitter.

    Do you actually trust what this bloke says?? 

    With injuries across the side, right up to today, it seems that the MFC are playing the super-sleuth game via Mission to keep the Cats guessing - in response to Geelong's mysterious Ablett/Dangerfield conundrum. Suddently this morning more 'niggles' appear in the Dees' players; suddenly the injury list is reduced to Viney, VDB, Smith and Lewis. Suddenly Clarrie has a niggle and ANB is not quite right to train normally.  Think an aspirin and a good week's rest is in order.

    Assuming the two with "test" against their names pass their test.

    It is strange not to be worried about injuries this season as much as I have worried about them in the past. Last season we had a raft of longer term injuries to critical players and only just missed out on the 8. After a good solid off season we seem to have developed a group of players that are very flexible in the way they can play. there is also as evenness about the group.

    Viney did not play any JTL but our midfield stood up well without him. TMac did not play JTL2 and we had 13 goal scorers. 

    I think we have the players and game plan to cover a few injured players.

    Yes only Viney out of best 22

    gotta worry about McKenna and Vandenburg. They are really struggling to get over long term problems

    I'm not worried about them at all, they either make it through or they don't. Of course I hope they do get their chance.

    I am worried about Oliver though...would hate to go into the first game without him.

    It does seem like a bit of a game going on between the Scott & Goodwin all the same, neither really showing their hand at this stage and the odd bluff maybe.

    Without Viney and Oliver, we get murdered IMO. It's like taking Selwood and Dangerfield out of Geelong.

    Has to be a concern.

    If Dangerfield doesn't play though, it lessens the impact.

    I imagine its only a bit of bone bruising. They're protecting him from further knocks to that area, until game day.

    IMO, consider him a Lock!

    I would definately leave TMc out for this one. One more week to get right. Please Mfc. Don't risk him in Rnd-1.

    We have plenty who can fulfill the role for one game.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
