Pretty much. It’s been the same for a long long time.

I feel so bad for Joel Smith. Before the injury, he was playing probably his best game for the club, and his attack on the contest was bloody great.

Balls the size of watermelons that kid.

Hope you make it back next year Joel, i rate you.

If he's able to play with this affliction, I'm surprised he even noticed the pain from the broken collarbone.

If l hear anyone on this forum say that we are not doctors and we should back the clubs sports science and medical teams l will throw up. Hogan clearly had a significant injury during the game,  why bring him back on if you don’t know how serious it is? “We feel we have got it quite early”. More rubbish from Misson

Stretch, Viney and Hogan all played out games with sore feet. Not good and mind boggling considering previous foot injuries

You don’t know that you’re not a doctor! ?

Nah it is pretty frustrating. We have the right to at least ask the questions.

FWIW. James Hird missed all but two games of the 1999 season with a serious navicular injury. Came back to captain a premiership team in 2000. Won subsequent B & F's and AA selections.There is hope for Jesse with an injury that appears a lot less serious and apparently caught earlier.

Stress fractures don't "happen" they "develop". So what you wrote didn't happen.

You have literally zero ability to say he "clearly had a significant injury during the game" unless you are Hogan, and you told the club "guys I have a significant injury" but the club said "lol no you don't get back out there", or you're a doctor and you're able to explain how Hogan reporting mild foot soreness equates to "significant injury during the game".

I wonder how much this is going to hurt Casey they are starting to play players from the bottom of the barrell, wouldn't surprise me if we lost to Box Hill this week.

You were right WERRIDEE and the run of injuries continues. Lochie Filipovic broke his hand in that game and is out for 426.

Jayden Hunt and Joel Smith will be tested later in the week and Jack Viney is working towards a return in the finals. It wouldn’t surprise me if he was given a run in the VFL finals game during the AFL bye week to get some match fitness.

Michael Hibberd (corked hamstring) – available
Jayden Hunt (ankle) – test
Joel Smith (collarbone) – test
Jack Viney (toe) – 2 weeks
Oskar Baker (hamstring) – 4 weeks

Good news with Hibberd to play vs GWS, and Joel Smith ahead of schedule undergoing a fitness test this week . Thats great news after it looked like he might be done for the season when he got hurt.  And on top of that, Bernie is still a chance to return if we advance past week 1 of finals.

The more players available in September the better.

Another 2 down today. Injury list is about 12 deep now. 

Hope Viney and Hunt get back for week 1 if finals. 

Hunt and Smith should both be available, but it’s pretty hard to see where they fit. Viney is apparently a lock.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
