Thanks. ย Very disappointing.ย 

 

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.ย 

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

Edit - added this Ch 7 update.

ย 

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 :ย 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.

โ€œThe 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 infectionโ€™s gone before they stitch it up,โ€ he said.

โ€œUnfortunately, 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 infectionโ€™s gone.โ€

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.ย ย

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.ย 

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)ย - 4-5 weeks

Mitch King (elbow)- 5ย 6 weeks

Lachlan Filipovic (managing loads)ย - 2ย weeks

Corey Maynard (hip) - 8 weeks

Harley Balic (foot) - 2 weeks

ย 

The whole injury list is here:

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

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, weโ€™ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: โ€œThen came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.โ€ Today, weโ€™re back in the same place although oneย difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, โ€œIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, โ€ฆโ€ย  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
