Confirmed by Ben Guthrie as a stress fracture in his tore.

Shocking luck! All the best bill.

Nothing worse than a fractured tore.

Such bad luck for him.  Puts in his best game for the Dees, then this.

Hope he hasn't been playing with a 'hot spot' ala Tom Mc early this year...

We have a bit of experience treating foot injuries.  So hope he is up and about quickly.

Edit.  Just read the Training thread and it seems he is out for the year ?

Kept TMac out for a while.....

Best of luck with it Billy

Oh ffs what’s is with foot and toe issues/stress issues at our club?! 

gosch's?

Dam I was hoping Stretcher would be playing in September like his old man...

Footy was tough then, and Steven was often targetted off the ball or as he kicked

I really do not know of another club who has so many players with foot/toe injuries as we have had in recent times. 

 

Damn he looked good giving us the run and carry we badly need last week...chance for Baker to debut now?

That's a shame for him and us as we need outside run at the G. He was much improved Vs Freo compared to his form earlier this year and late last year.

Apparantly Oskar Baker's not ready, so who comes in to replace that outside run that Stretch provides? JFK? Tyson?

Dean Kent maybe? He played well at the G earlier in the season

Hes been playing as an inside mid for 2 years at Casey.

Agree he deserves a shot but can he play the Stretch/outside mid role?

Hmm.  Given he's been dead for close to 55 years, i'd kinda doubt it!

Hadn't connected the dots Daisy.  But, it IS a fact we've won just the one flag since the sad demise of JFK!  Any connection?

I think you're Misson the real culprit.

so, the jfk curse......and i've been blaming norm all these years

Shocking timing for Billy, really looked the part on the weekend and added something we dont have much of. There needs to be an inquiry into foot problems at our club. 

 

How long until Hunt is available again?

Super bad luck, got in the seniors finally after a lot of solid work in the vfl then first game in gets a long term injury.

Good luck on the rehab Billy.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
