Considering this happened in the 2nd quarter and he played out the game I would say this is super minor. 

We are probably just being cautious this week as we play the suns. I would expect him to play against the swannies

    Most goal assist in the league? Heard that mentioned on a footy show or during the replay I watched. Hopefully back in v swans.

    Sounds right to me.  From what I also recall, he is well up there for contested marks inside 50 as well.

    I like Melksham and what he brings to the team, but this could be a bit of a bleesing. Feel like our forward lines been functioning a bit predictably and gone a tad stale since that purple patch a couple of months ago. Could be good to bring in a fresh face for a coupla weeks. *Cough* vandenberg.

    Is a Bleesing like a Toumpasing?

    Exactly.

    Apparently channel 7 said 3 weeks. 

    FMD we are not having a good run are we? I suppose when you look at GWS, Sydney and Collingwood tho, we haven’t got much to complain about. Yet. I’m sure next week 3 more will go down or something.

    Bugg has been playing good footy for a long time and has played well up forward. He’s the one I’d go with 

    I'm not confident with his foot skills or his set shots. Love the endeavour of the bloke but he lacks quality.

    There's nothing in the MFC article which says the club knew about it as at the second quarter. Melksham could have noticed it, tried to run through it, played the game out, but reported it later. So let's not pot the club just yet.

    However, given how our recent injuries have been going, I can't help but shake the feeling that this is more serious than the club has stated so far. I wouldn't be surprised to see him, and Hibberd, back no earlier than the GWS game.

    Funny that hey..

    Billy Stretch voices his concern prior to the Freo game that his foot is a bit sore, yet medical team told him just run it out to warm it up..

    Next minute,  season over!

    Is that true?

    Unfortunately it’s not.

    If you do a hamstring you don't "run out the match". It risks further damage, even if you can run at all.  Standard recovery is 2 weeks, with most club physio's resting for 3 to be certain. 

    I don't know why ALL clubs, not just ours, participate in this type of charade.

    Confirmed by kerry Lambert off the Dees podcast who was talking to Billy while out with lunch from somone that works at the footy club.

    Delusional.

    I've increasingly come to think this about injuries: It's not like we have to field 21 vs 22. As long as our depth is good and our intent is there, our selected 22 can beat any other selected 22. Collingwood proves this.

    Still wish we could select Lever, Viney, Melksham and Hibberd though.

    Yikes, where did 3 weeks come from? In the space of a few hours:

    - Minor Hammy

    - May miss this week and possibly next

    - will miss 3 weeks

    - Jack Watts

    FMD -- where is the exorcist to rid us of the CONS?

    IF neither Kent nor Bugg get a gig then surely their 'cards are marked'.

    That said, vandenBerg has been gradually building up a case.

    Maybe Hannan if fit could be a decent like-for-like.

    So whos right, Misson or Channel 7?  If its channel 7,   Misson has got to go.

     

    But elite performance manager Dave Misson was confident Melksham wouldn’t be sidelined for too long, saying it was a “very minor strain”.

    “It happened in the second quarter, but he played out the match,” he told Melbourne Media.  

    “Even though Jake’s pulled up well, we don’t want to risk him this round.

    “We’ll reassess him next week.”

    True! He had a handful of games though and a couple of goals. Good effort.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
