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.

“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.

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

I am not a doctor. But it doesn’t sound good. FMD!

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.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
