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.

    • 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?
