According to this list:- https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-03-13/the-full-afl-injury-list-postjlt-update-

 

we have 15 payers listed as injured. That is an incredible number. By comparison, Port Adelaide have 9. I don't mean to be an alarmist, but I think we will struggle in the early part of this season, and hopefully come good in the second half. However, the loss of Hannan is significant as ANB looks to have gone backwards and Stretch is not up to the standard required for AFL . When we let Kent go, it was hoped that natural development of these fringe types, add JKH, would help fill a void. Spargo has been underwhelming, Garlett is out...we got a small forward problem.

    Where did it say his recovery timeline was any different to what it is now?  Just curious.

    I think it stems from anecdotes from people that have spoken with Lever and him saying he's aiming for Round 1 or thereabouts. Can't blame him for raring to go but the club and the medical staff are understandably taking a more conservative approach. Of course this is only speculation on my part.

    Lever would play Rd 1 if he could, at the Sponsors he asked people jokingly to stop asking when he is back , not his decision, he will be told

    To be fair, there are a number of players on that list that are available to play.  Fritsch, Jones, Melksham, Harmes, Viney and AVB will all be right for Round 1, while Smith and Preuss are listed as tests.  Take those eight out and it's just seven players injured for more than a week.  It's not panic stations yet.

    Cheers, I thought it might have been something like that.

    I wouldn't be too stressed from that list we have 5 available and 3 listed as "test" with May being back in RD 2. Baring any further suspensions or injury in RD 1 that list should go from 15 to 6 pretty quickly with really only Lever & Hannan missing from best 22. There shouldn't be any excuses to start the year, we do have a tough draw to start the year however I think 4-2 really should be a minimum result through the first 6 rounds.

    Indeed, as long as the word foot is nowhere to be seen, happy days I guess.

    best 22 players injured for round 1:  Lever and Hannan.

    Hannan was dropped a bit last year but I still reckon he is best 22.  with guys like Smith ready to come in for Hannan he is not a massive loss

    The bigger issue for me is are we fit enough as a group/recovered from surgery and ready to go.  I am in the camp that thinks we will be sluggish for the first 6 rounds or so and have some disappointing losses

    I share your concerns. We've had a pre-season that is not conducive to a strong start with all our surgeries and JLT injuries. Reckon we'll be 2-4 to start the season (we have to play Geelong & Sydney away and Richmond) and playing catch up after that.

    Plus, in the JLT our impressive late 2018 brand of footy has been largely missing in the JLT.  Can we just be expected to flick on the switch for round 1? Hope so. 

    Hopefully we can be 3-3 and on the fringes of the 8, then make a charge up the ladder to top 4.

    Can someone explain what happened to Lever's prognosis being pushed out to another potential 15 weeks? Is it in the news or another thread somewhere? I thought he was due back around Round 5/6, with everything going swimmingly except for that minor recent scrape?

    He's already has  2 Reco's,   on that same knee.

    watts the Rush ?

    But so what happened? Did the Yanks revise the prognosis after his sojourn there?

    Not sure that anyone except the fansthought he would be back before then.  It works out to around 12 months from the date which is about right.  I am no expert but not surprised.

    As an aside I spent some interesting time googling ACL operations and how they work a while back - quite fascinating

    They've actually now discovered six different muscles unique to Jack Viney.

    Great highlight, but it doesn’t of itself make him best 22 or change my opinion.

    Might be a touch optimistic GCDee. While many are becoming available and/or passing tests,, I'm not sure we can carry more than a few players with niggles/little match practice into round 1 when the intensity will be high. We are going to need to finish the season pretty strong and hope for some luck and better player management with injuries.

    Is there some kind of magic potion down at the Holden Centre regarding ACL injuries? 

    Dunn suffered an ACL a month after Lever and he’s listed as 1-2 weeks away. From memory Goldsack recovered in less than 12 months also. 

    Steaks apparently. Imported from South America I'm led to believe.

    TBC- to be confirmed, no time frame yet on injury. Test- recovered or minor injury still able to train and will play subject to fitness test

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
