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

Melksham a broken foot....fudge......

[dazzledavey36 55,358]

Did Melksham go back onto the ground after the initial injury??

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.

Oh......

[GCDee 3,199]

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.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

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

[What 18,810]

“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.

[Billy 2,544]

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!!!!

 

[Cards13 9,117]

Yea Mission isn’t a doctor and would have zero say in someone playing on during a game. 

 

[picket fence 17,502]

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

TYPICAL MFC

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

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?

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,778]

Ridiculous and utterly predictable, so much so I called it in other thread

Now watch the 4-5 weeks blow out to .... wtf knows?? ?

[Salems Lot 2,636]

I think we win the 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 

[spirit of norm smith 16,589]

It was ridiculous at the time.  He hobbled back on. Melksham is tough but it was not the right call imo.  He’s going to be missed.

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

[Lucifers Hero 40,364]

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

[chookrat 4,268]

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.

ROTATIONS?? FFS the bloke had a broken foot....? Im going to have drink, have tea and try to make sense of this latest bulltish. Joel Smith says HI!

Cheezus!
