That's fifteen... if I understand correctly there are 40 on an AFL list plus 7 rookies.

Perhaps we may need to call some demonlanders up for a game.

PS: There was a time several years back when Collingwoood had to advertise for players to make up their VFL numbers

We had, what, six afl listed players in the vfl yesterday? Barrel well and truly being scraped

    Actually 39 and 6 rookies Jim. Of that 39, 14 currently on the injured list, of which arguably 11 are best 22

    Just read the report on the Melbourne FC web page about Hibbo only being out for a couple which is handy.

    It’s hard to compete when your first choice backline is looks like:

    FB:  Knee.    Knee.     Concussion

    HB:  Groin.    Groin.    Collarbone 

    emergency (Lewis) to be advised.

     

    edit: forgot our forward line:

    HF: Knee.   Soreness.     Ankle

    FF:  Foot      TMac       Jeffy

    Yes. Played on.  Again not sure why given injury. 

    He again was our best forward. A huge blow.

    But of course! 

    Why wouldn’t you take a risk with a best 22 player and a foot injury? This has never ever ended badly. 

    Seriously laughable.

    Just another blight on mission and our medico's how the [censored] do we let a guy with a broken [censored] foot play out a game.

  • Quote

    Those who were at the game would have seen this, but I’ve never seen somebody look so lame when he hobbled back on.

    “Jake’s got a fracture mid-foot which is reasonably significant so he’s probably going to take at least four to five weeks,” Misson said.

     

     

    Get [censored].  We are screwed now.   Melk is one of our top 5 most important players.   And given Missons pitiful track record with foot injuries,  I have zero faith melk will get back at all this season.

    Did he? I read that he first went off in the third quarter, but the break happened in the fourth quarter.

    A 15-player injury list is sizeable. On the AFL's website (which is not up to date), St Kilda has 14 players listed but most other clubs are 10-12, and some are much less (e.g. Brisbane has three).

    More importantly, of the 15, 8 are first choice 22 (Lewis, Lever, Melksham, Hannan, May, Hibberd, AVB, Jetta) and a further 4 (Weideman, JKH, J Smith, KK) who are on the fringe, if not actually best 22.

    It's tough going for us on this front at the moment.

    What’s going on down there, J Smith does his groin in a practice match comes back on & looks like he’s going to miss up to 16 weeks & now Melksham has a fractured foot & he comes back on.

    Im surprised Hibberd didn’t play out the game with a broken collarbone 

    Not to mention Viney the last couple of years

    No wonder Misson leaving at years end, before he gets the sack!!!!

    IF SO THEN SERIOUS SERIOUS QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ASKED AND STAFF SHOWN THE DOOR!

    TYPICAL MFC

    I’m assuming the only reason he came back on was due to rotations. He couldn’t even jog when on the field.

    Do we sob it up and concede it’s not our year due to injuries or do we draw inspiration off Richmond who are getting it done despite their injury crisis?

    Agree.  I had 9 out of best 22 with Weideman still in my best 22 based on what he can produce and the role as a CHF:FF

    I hope you are right. We have a very poor track record managing foot injuries.

    Just to add to our woes, a poster has reported in the Sam Weideman thread that he needs hip surgery ?

    Why the outrage, for all we know going back on the ground may have helped heal Jakey boys foot and reduce time out of the game. Looking forward to the whining from so called doctors on here.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
