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.


It’s rising up unfortunately week by week

Stretch. Lever. Maynard all gone for the season

Joel Smith and Baker virtually gone as well

Jack Viney is increasingly unlikely for the year

Balic retired 

thats 7 unavailable out of the 44 listed

Vince????

Hibberd and Melksham back round 22

from my best 22, missing 4 players (Lever Viney Hibberd Melksham)

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.

Melbourne injury list: round 23
 
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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
