Recruiting/drafting way too many injury prone players IMO.

Perhaps the MFC could ask that all future draft selections and players that are traded into the club sign an affidavit that they will not sustain any future injuries.

    Perhaps they could just apply common sense and stop taking risks with players who have a history of being injury prone....

    Why do I get the awful feeling that JKH will be ready before Vanders or Joel Smith?

    At first blush the Joel Smith situation is a disgrace. 

    Quite likely if he was removed from the ground in the JLT game when he hurt himself, the injury would have been less severe.

    Like Hawthorn??? Forget Burgoyne...O'Meara

    Geelong??? Selwood or Stevie J....

    We can't play it totally safe 'Febes' or we get nowhere...

    I do understand the frustration though.

    May & Lever would be handy on the park now.

    Have a look at the two clubs you're comparing with, we are not even close to a Hawthorn or Geelong.

    ...and we never will be unless we take the opportunities that present.

    It's a good idea to have a look at what strong organisations do and emulate them.

    I'd rather build a solid base, then speculate, just like the Cats and Hawks did. Our history isn't great with recruiting and the last few years may come back to bite us.

    Which ones?

    KK sure. 

    Lever had 1 major injury before in his career. May had a couple of small soft tissues but had played a lot more than he missed the last few years. A lot of our recent recruits - Melksham, Hibberd, Lewis, Garlett, Preuss aren't guys who had bad injury histories. 

    Same goes for our draft picks. I may be wrong but as far as I can remember in the last 5 years the only guy we've drafted who had a big injury concern on him was Weideman.

    I don't think we've had speculative picks or trades that I can think of...

    Clarrie was probably the only one to come close as being speculative, would you rather we played safe and went for a solid player like Parish?

    Injury List - Round 5

    Oscar McDonald (concussion) – available 
    Neville Jetta (knee) — test 
    Jordan Lewis (hamstring) — test
    Jay Lockhart (shoulder) — test
    Braydon Preuss (shoulder) — test
    Kade Kolodjashnij (concussion) – TBA
    Steven May (groin) — 2-4 weeks
    Joel Smith (groin) —  4-6 weeks
    Aaron vandenBerg (foot) — 4-6 weeks
    Mitch Hannan (knee) — 6 weeks
    Jake Lever (knee) — 6 weeks
    Jay Kennedy-Harris (knee) — 8-10 weeks
    Guy Walker (shoulder) — indefinite 
    Aaron Nietschke (knee) — season

    From experience I'd say a 4-6 week injury is much longer than a 6 week injury.

    I think you can say season and hope it is not.

    Just like Hawthorn did with O'Meara (sp) and Scully. Depends on your medical staff diagnoses and an A1 medical/fitness team to get them right. Scully I'm still not sure about but did I just read that O'Meara has extended his contract? You take your chances sometimes.

    I'm convinced the talk around Scully was all a smokescreen. Kennett has taught every one at Hawthorn politspeak. We were told Scully would be lucky to play at all this year, his injury was so grave he may never return, Hawthorn were looking long term, blah, blah. Lo and behold, he has been playing since Round 2. It's a miracle! Win, win for Hawthorn. They got a bargain, and praise for the expertise of their medical/fitness team/programs. What a load of codswallop.

    Possibly, but a bloke who is limping around with an injury, who continues to play and seems to be limping worse at the end of the game than earlier, has most likely worsened his injury , rather than improved it. I think that is a fair conclusion to draw, given The extended period he is now facing on the sidelines. 

    However, as you said, or not.

    Otherwise known as "rat cunning" DG.  Something the MFC seems to lack but  must find at the trade/draft table.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
