I truly wish they would do the list chronologically by soonest to return. It’s so much more readable that way:

Melbourne injury list: round eight

Jack Viney (foot) – test

Christian Salem (thumb) – test

Harley Balic (platar fascia) – test

Mitch King (elbow) – 2-3 weeks

Dean Kent (hamstring) – 4 weeks

Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 6-8 weeks

Corey Maynard (hip) – indefinite

Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite

    Must have been a decent ping of the hammy, he did it weeks ago.

    Shame as he looked very good when he came back into the team.

    Filipovic’s R & R break must be over.

    Good to see Harley Balic close to a return.

    Didn't they say last week Filipovic would be out for 2 weeks?

    They said Balic was out for 2 as well but it looks like he's back for this week.

    Sage advice from Max to JV:   http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-09/gawns-viney-warning-dont-rush-back-to-afl

    "But if I could give advice to Jack – I definitely regret not getting a couple of games in the VFL before I came into the AFL."

    If ever there was a time for a player to get match fitness at a VFL game (or two) this is it as the next next game(s) are vs GCS (and Carlton) which are very winnable without Jack. 

    On the other hand his time could be managed in both those games and he play just 65% for example. 

    An interesting team release tomorrow night.  Wouldn't be surprised if Jack plays at Casey this week.

    The hip injury may have derailed Maynard's season.

    I tend to agree.  

    As keen as I am to see Jack back in the team, we should learn the lessons of recent history.  Last year, Max was straight back in and seemed to be playing catch-up for the rest of the season; Viney was straight back in and... well, I don't need to say what happened after that.

    The season is long and this week is very winable without many changes.  One week in the VFL to regain some match fitness and touch, then into the team for Carlton at the 'G.

    Agree TPF39.  Also, it's easier to manage on-field minutes (to say 65% game time) at VFL level, than it is to do the same in AFL without compromising team results.

    Tom Morris is a handy golfer. He won three British Opens and his son won at least one  as well. Sporting family !!!!!

    Tom Morris Sr. Old Tom Morris didn't invent the game of golf, but he is recognized as the sport's founding father. He played in the first 36 British Opens, winning four times, and sired a son, Tom Morris Jr., who won the world's oldest golf championship four times on his own. Morris still holds two British Open records—oldest champion (age 46 in 1867) and largest victory margin (13 in 1862).

    Filipovic missed a game and then missed another week for the bye. That's 2 weeks.

    From that article Salem is a lock to be selected. ANB seem the obvious out i would have thought. But you never no.

    For the umpteenth time goody is quoted as saying they have preapared Viney for AFL footy. Which im really pleased to hear. I was worried they were preparing him for curling.

    I think Goodwin did a media interview today saying that Viney will play in the VFL this week and that Salem is every chance to be available for the seniors.

    Good that seems the smart move.

    My head says play him with controlled minutes in the VFL to make sure he’s cherry ripe for his return.

    My heart says geez it would be nice to see him rip up Gold Coast...... let’s hope we smash them without him.

    They might be being extra cautious with him as he has a history of longer term hammies?

    Yes but badly!

    Maybe the Morris' were the only two to compete in the championships for the first 30 or so years!

    I reckon when Vanders gets thru this, he'll be a keeper.

    He's a stubborn tough man.

    Ankle this time, so He may well be over that stress fracture.

    Kent is probably the only best 22 player missing but we can cover a small forward with about 8/9 players 

    Mckenna and Vandenburg must be really struggling and careers probably doubtful

    King is 50/50 type and needs a good run of luck

    I like Maynard’s style and would like to see him back as a tough competitor 

    5 missing is about as short a list of injuries as we have got in about 20 years!! Fingers crossed it remains low

    I think Goodwin would really rate him because he's tough and Goody loves players with a bit of mongrel probably why Spargo is ahead of Garlett. If he ever gets fully fit I can see him on a forward flank in the seniors.

    Melbourne injury list: round nine

    Dean Kent (hamstring) – 4 weeks
    Mitch King (elbow) – 1 week
    Corey Maynard (hip) – indefinite
    Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite
    Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 6 weeks
    Jack Viney (foot) – available

    That for real Chelly? Kent another 4 weeks??

  • Quote

    That makes five players out injured, of who two have yet to play at AFL level. One has played just 2 AFL games. Aaron vandenBerg hasn’t played since 2016 which leaves Dean Kent as the only other “out”. That’s about as light an injury list as I can recall and we certainly couldn’t use that for an excuse for any drop in team performance. The team we pick tomorrow should be just about the best we can produce from our list.

    Given his history with hamstring injuries, that would be for real.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
