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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
