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.

    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!

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
