afl.com.au reporting up to 4 week hammy

Thanks.  Very disappointing. 

 

With this quick turnaround and extended squads plus players being "dropped" at Casey I have lost track of the injuries.

Is there an official updated list since the April 10/11 posted above.

Thanks

Well hopefully not the same side as his major one last time. 

Ch7 are reporting Petracca still in hospital having had more surgery on his finger.?

Edit - added this Ch 7 update.

 

Get well quickly! Club is confident he will play vs Saints on Sunday.?

Edited by Lucifer's Hero

Ch7 clearly not reading the original article http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-04-26/petracca-to-miss-due-to-dog-bite

Misson said Petracca would be monitored over the next few days, but was set to miss just one week.

“The doctor felt it needed a decent wash-out in surgery, and the important thing is that the wound needs to stay open for three days to guarantee that that infection’s gone before they stitch it up,” he said.

“Unfortunately, those three days coincide with the game, and the doctor actually wants him to stay in hospital over the weekend, just to make sure that the infection’s gone.”

Today is Monday, so once the infection's gone, the finger is stitched back up. Seems part of the routine from what I can see.

In other injury news Lynch from GC out for at least 4 weeks. Shame for him. Good news for us.

That said Oscar would be disappointed not to get a crack at him and try and add Lynch to the notches on his belt.

The MFCSS voice inside of my head can't decide whether he'll have a miraculous recovery in time to return for our match or whether his replacement will have a blinder. 

The glass is never full. ?

And hopefully Steve May misses more than the 1 week.

Is Lan glands the name of the condition?

Bruce is a huge out for us for historical reasons. :P

 

Is the only name i recognised. I agree historically he's a nuisance. I don't rate him particularly.

Roberton has played well against us in the passed 2 games. Big out for them

Dave Missions' list is a bit longer, has the following additions!

Dean Kent (hamstring) - 4-5 weeks

Mitch King (elbow)- 5 6 weeks

Lachlan Filipovic (managing loads) - 2 weeks

Corey Maynard (hip) - 8 weeks

Harley Balic (foot) - 2 weeks

 

The whole injury list is here:

Harley Balic (plantar fascia) – 2-3 weeks
Lochie Filipovic (rested) – 2 weeks
Jesse Hogan (knee/ankle) – test
Dean Kent (hamstring) – 4-5 weeks
Mitch King (elbow) – 5-6 weeks
Corey Maynard (hip) – 6-8 weeks
Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite
Christian Petracca (finger) – test
Christian Salem (thumb) – 1-2 weeks
Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 4-6 weeks
Jack Viney (foot) – 1-2 weeks

It's certainly getting longer which is not a good thing, but the positive is that outside of Hogan, Trac and Viney they aren't really best 22 players.  And those three won't be on the list for much longer as well.

Forgot about Kent and Balic. Did not know about Maynard.

Starting to believe in this Norm Smith Curse thing.

Balic has been out for 2 weeks with no notice and now for another 2 weeks.... poor guy.. what is it about our mature draftees.

Maynard ... 8 weeks .... almost career ending in reality

11 on the list... that is in excess of 25% of the list.. whether or not they are best 22 it is not good for overall team development... (not sure if resting Flip counts as an injury)

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
