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. 

Yes, but what did he [Hird] take, given his coaching mantra "whatever we take", to get over it?

 

And any updates on Kent's injury?

 

TMac went for scans today. Why? Oh god. If I hear foot I’m officially panicking. 

Keep calm. Keep calm. Keep calm.

Channel 7 news

I watched channel 7 news and just found a clip on twitter of it as well and didn’t hear anything about Tom having scans. They mentioned Kent needing more scans to determine the extent of his injury.

Best case scenario (unofficial) -

Melbourne injury list: pre finals bye round

Mitch Hannan (knee) – available
Jayden Hunt (ankle) – available
Joel Smith (collarbone) – available
Jack Viney (toe) – 1 week
Oskar Baker (hamstring) – 3 weeks
Dom Tyson (broken arm) – 3 weeks
Lochie Filipovic (hand) – 3-5 weeks
Bernie Vince (AC joint) –  3-5 weeks
Dean Kent (shoulder) – TBC
Jesse Hogan (foot) – season
Jake Lever (knee) – season
Corey Maynard (hip) – season
Billy Stretch (toe) – season
Harley Balic (retired)


Tyson has a fracture of the ulna a couple of inches up from the wrist. It has been screwed and plated. Outside chance to be fit for first final.

Kent injured his R/H ac joint (opposite side to the one reconstructed last year). The collarbone is slightly displaced. No news re;           1) which of the 3 possibilities below if any (diagram downloaded from Dr Google) or 2) recovery time.

Watched that Tyson collision on the replay today... looked so innocuous.

Here's hoping

In an ideal world, would prefer Tyson to whoever his replacement would be. His games since returning from the VFL have been more than decent - even on the weekend, in less than a half of footy he managed 13 disposals - and at 100% efficiency.

Question then becomes, how do he and Viney co exist?

Remember Tyson was dropped originally cos Viney was back and we had too many inside mids.

I think it will depend on where they play viney. Is he dangerous enough to replace Kent as a forward? Goody said on the couch that he would play a bit forward and a bit of midfield. 

If Tyson is deemed fit and plays, who goes out for Viney assuming that Hannan is coming in for Kent?

Anything further on this? Missed it yesterday and no mention in MFC website injury report today 

Gotta admit almost ? myself reading this post!

I'm still sceptical

I spoke with one of the MFC coaches on Sunday, Viney certain to play. Might play half vs Geelong VFL, would have played vs Giants if we had lost to WCE. Pretty insightful chatting to a coach must admit, some other insights I really enjoyed hearing.

Watch goody on "on the couch" last night. Viney is playing 100%

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
