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

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

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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
