9 out this week. Vandenburg unlikely to play until round 15 at best. He may be gone. 

Looking like we may have made a mistake in not letting him go to the Swans and trying to get Zak Jones as part of a deal.

We are unlucky with our trades, in that we got Lever, May and KK denying us young kids in the draft and all 3 are not playing. Meanwhile Jesse, while not dominating, is at least playing.

Before some of you jump on me, I said we were unlucky our 3 aren't playing because of injury.

    Injuries in order of priority 

    Lever 6-8 weeks

    May 2 weeks

    Hannan 8 weeks

    Vandenburg. 6 weeks

    Joel Smith 4 weeks

    Kolodashnji  to be reviewed 

    Jkh 10 weeks

    Nietscke  season 

    We can expect May back for Eagles game.  

    Others (Lever, Hannan, Vandenburg Smith) must be back by mid year.

    He might be better if he can get a game or 2 in...  prior to the Eagles match.

    2 matches prior,  is the Hawks match.

    He is very injury prone. Can't keep on list if he can't manage 2 get on the park we aren't good enough 2 afford such a luxury. Fingers crossed he plays towards middle of the season or else the trade that didn't happen would've been better 4 us in hindsight.

    And, of course, Dean Kent who could barely get on the park for us in his last 2 or 3 years is fit and saddling up against us this afternoon.

    Yes our injury management is Consistently Ridiculous And Perennial.  

    ie. CRAP

    It also exposes our selection rationale as shaky. The lad (Smith) was not 'allowed' to play on - he was forced to play on as there was no-one else to fill the gap had he been more sensibly managed and withdrawn from the game. Meanwhile, OMac stayed on the ground doing nothing once again as an automatic selection, and I am sure that there were firing young guns on the listings of the Selection Table capable of filling the gaps on the bench; for example, that crucial mismanagement left by the badly injured Smith, and the less than effective OMac at all costs mentality. Who is holding whom to ransom?

    Never fear!  Rest assured he will fire up and play a blinder today.  All our ex-players seem to find an extra gear when they come up against us!!

    Whats with the 4-5 week? Is it a slightly more optimistic version of the dreaded '4-6 week' which results in 2 - 3 games peppered in by end of season, or is it something entirely new that we have not before experienced?

    I have barracked for MFC for the very reasons that make us different to the rest of the rabble. Perhaps we are the only Club really looking after our players.  Are any rugby players living meaningful lives after 50 years at all? I think not.

    AVB is cooked. Maybe we should have let Sydney take him and got a reasonable pick in return.

    I think the 4-6 basically means they are still sore and they are hoping the soreness disappears in the next 2 or so weeks, and then they need a month of training to build up heir fitness base again to be match fit.

    It’s the only reasonable conclusion I could come up with.

    Funny you should say that.  Jesse is looking a lot leaner and fitter.  Maybe our fitness and rehab regime isn't all it is cracked up to be. 

    Certainly their is enough anecdotal evidence saying we play injured players or let them stay on the park when injured.  Then the initial injury gets worse.  The latest example being Jetta playing all 4 qtrs when he could barely walk.  Now out for 10-12.  Should have been benched.

    What’s the difference between TBA and indefinite?

    Are we certain KK has concussion like symptoms? Some rumours doing the rounds it’s the neck issue giving him trouble again.

    Just had a look back through the weekly injury reports. 

    Stephen May 

    Round 4: 2 - 3 weeks

    Round 5: 2 - 4 weeks

    Round 6: 4 weeks

    Now I understand the human body is unbelievably complicated, but how does a players recovery go so dramatically  backwards when he is supposedly benefiting from being in an elite sporting environment.

    I guess the alternative question is why put an estimated return date on players when the club clearly has no real idea.

    Re-injury. Horrible bloody luck

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
