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%

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
