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 scrapedย

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.

Itโ€™s hard to compete when your first choice backline is looks like:

FB: ย Knee. ย  ย Knee. ย  ย  Concussion

HB: ย Groin. ย  ย Groin. ย  ย Collarboneย 

emergency (Lewis) to be advised.

ย 

edit: forgot our forward line:

HF: Knee. ย  Soreness. ย  ย  Ankle

FF: ย Foot ย  ย  ย TMac ย  ย  ย  Jeffy

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

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

He again was our best forward. A huge blow.ย

But of course!ย 

Why wouldnโ€™t you take a risk with a best 22 player and a foot injury? This has never ever ended badly.ย 

Seriously laughable.ย 

ย 

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 Iโ€™ve neverย seen somebody look so lame when he hobbled back on.

โ€œJakeโ€™s got a fractureย mid-foot which is reasonably significant so heโ€™s probably going to take at least four to five weeks,โ€ Misson said.

ย

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

Did he? I read that he first went off in theย 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, 8ย are first choiceย 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.

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

Im surprised Hibberd didnโ€™t play out the game with a broken collarboneย 

Not to mention Viney the last couple of years

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

ย 

Yea Mission isnโ€™t a doctor and would have zero say in someone playing on during a game.ย 

ย 


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

TYPICAL MFC

Iโ€™m assuming the only reason he came back on was due to rotations. He couldnโ€™t evenย jog when on the field.

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

Agree. ย 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:FFย 


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

I think we win the injury crisis

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

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

ย 

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.ย

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

Cheezus!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
