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

    Yeah that bloody Misson has gotta lot to answer for. handicapping our players like he does.

    did anyone here have any success sacking him, ever ?

     

    better not stuff up our September glory Miss'. ^_^

    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.

    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
