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.

5 out if our starting back 6, ffs

    A fracture in his mid foot? The words foot and fracture immediately make me think of Clark, Trengove, Viney, AVB and so on. 

    Why the [censored] would you take any risk with someone who has a foot issue?!

    Won’t play again this year is my bet. 

    Our season keeps on going from bad to worse.

    I’m sure I saw Melksham collapse in pain after landing from a marking contest shortly after coming back on in the last. It occurred near our attacking goal square. Anyone else see this?

    Hi name is Misson not mission. Players are sent back on to the ground every week when injured and have been forever. Many start games with a residual injury. It’s a ruthless and tough business. If you want to follow table tennis then you won’t be outraged.

    Question for the medico's on this site:  Is 'mid-foot' another word for 'Lisfranc'?

    Thanks for finding that.

    There is some bad deja vu about this.  ?

    Lets hope that’s not the moment he actually fractured the foot. Because such high levels of incompetency seem impossible. Even for the MFC.

    Would they have actually known it was a fracture during the game? Unless it was obviously broken, Melky and the medical staff may have thought it was just bruised and then came back on (although in pain) but x-rays have now confirmed it was a fracture.

    My god the over reacting on here is ridiculous. I know its disappointing...

    you think we have an MRI scan on the sidelines? he was sore but you can't diagnose a broken bone in the mid foot on the sidelines.  and if you stopped any sore player from going back on you'd have 10 blokes on the field by the 4th Q.

    Every club does it!!  Tiges will Jack twice, with a broken hand and then leg/foot.

    far out

    [censored] philosophy and [censored] player management, really in this day and age sending "Elite" athletes back with potentially serious injuries is tantamount to success! The days of play through pain are loong gone!

    Melksham CLEARLY should NEVER have been allowed back on. Joel Smith, CLEARLY should NEVER have been allowed to come back on!

    Agree! some pains CAN be managed but as we have seen MFC seemingly let the tail wag the dog and at the end of the day.

    Again some judgements have been less than satisfactory. Hnmmmm

    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

     

     

     

    Funny but true, Deeko2.

    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. 

    A hyper-extension of the foot as a minimum... sprained...  and serious injury for a footballer, surely.

    And then to find out its actually a broken bone in the mid-foot...  even worse.   There had to be someone else on the bench,  who could run better than him.

    Heard Damien Hardwick having a whinge about injuries to Richmond the other day, he said something like 'Some luck would be nice'.

    They barely had an injury for years and won a  flag off the back of a full list to choose from.  What a whining little [censored] he is.

    That is a bit rich coming from Hardwick, as you said they basically won a premiership off the back of one of the best injury runs I've ever seen.

    The pain he showed on the medical table before coming back on surely would have indicated more than a sprain.

    • 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.
