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%

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
