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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
