    Shortest injury list in the history of the MFC. Pity 2 of our top 10 players are on it!

    did anyone here have any success sacking him, ever ?

    I'm certainly no expert, but assuming there's no further set-backs or especial caution I would expect players of Viney and Tmac's ilk to be available within the month.

    Another of Mission's mission failed on Mckenna

    Misson could work at the MFC for another decade and some supporters would still think his name was Mission.

    And he stuffed Trengrove’s career as well.

    I'm not quite sure who's punning, who's trolling and who doesn't quite get the joke.

    Neville Jetta (ankle) – test
    Jordan Lewis (hand) – 1-2 weeks
    Tom McDonald (foot) – 2-3 weeks
    Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite
    Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 8-10 weeks
    Jack Viney (foot) – 3-4 weeks

    Extracts: "Tom McDonald (foot) – 2-3 weeks  He’ll actually train with the group a little bit on Saturday morning. We actually expect Tom to potentially be available for the Essendon game.”

    And, "We think Aaron will probably get a couple of VFL games in before the bye and then we’ll see what happens after that bye week.”  

    The Ess game is less than 2 weeks away so it will be a huge effort if Tom gets up for it.  I'm torn between saying we need him to play and hoping we don't bring him back too early.

    Surely Tom will have a game or two at Casey - he played the first JLT, but match fitness?

    I would have thought so.

    But 'match fitness' no longer seems a major consideration for players who have been in the system for a few years.  eg J Kennedy Eagles, Tex Walker,  G Ablett.  Of course, the risk is they can't contribute enough at AFL level or overdo it and breakdown again.

    Hi

    On Saturday night there was a suggestion that Balic had pulled a hamstring.

    There was also suggestion it might have been cramp.

    I assume from his absence from the injured list  that he is fine.

    Wouldn't it be a great story if he comes good.

    Balic was training this morning and looked to be moving OK. Also Dom Tyson was running around and looked good. The Casey boys were training didn’t see any seniors training. TMac was kicking footballs and doing sprints, no Viney or AVB but I only rode past and watched for about 5 minutes.

    jesus wept...how DUMB ARE WE as a football club...

    t mac hurt his toe drilling drills inside in BARE FEET...

    McDonald said it was like a ‘turf-toe’ incident and he felt the problem occur during an inside drill.

    “We were doing some tackling and contact work inside, in bare feet, and as we do all of our stuff in boots, I reckon my feet weren’t as conditioned to doing stuff bare foot,” he said.

    Why don’t we just run over our players with steam rollers. Replacement training for that camp. See who survives!

    I'm assuming Frost was injured and that's why he didn't play at any level this week.  When I went to training he was in rehab.

    Joel Smith did most of training on Wednesday but pulled out of a few drills towards the end and he didn't play at any level.

    Fritsch, Tim Smith and Balic didn't play at any level this week but were not mentioned in the injury report.

    Does anyone have any information on these players?  I don't recall seeing Balic at training.  Is he injured?

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
