Brisbane Lions. 

Tom Joyce. 1st year draftee.  

James Madden. 1st year rookie listed. 

Ridiculous.  They have a FULL LIST of 42 available players. No injury concerns.

From the in the mix bit on AFL.com:

Medical room: No new problems. In fact, Tom Cutler (foot) is expected to come back to the NEAFL, leaving just first-year player Tom Joyce on the injury list.

They obviously have a high performance department that’s on top of their game.

Really disappointed for J Smith, he looked good in pre-season, what a massive mistake putting him back on at Casey fields back in March,.

Except that it had no impact on what has kept him out for the year, OP. Which is an inflammation caused by overuse (i.e., over a long period of time). It isn't caused or even aggravated by anything that happens in a single afternoon on a footy field.

No, they're just lucky.

Yeah of course that is the reason, just like the tigers did in 2017 when with a full list to choose from they won their flag.

Hold on a second they had injuries in 2018 and even more in 2019. Their high performance team must of dropped off then. 

The old two plus two equals five trick. That's the third time I've fallen for that this week.....

Lucky in that they've had minimal on field collision injuries.

They've barely had any soft tissue injury which would point to good management rather than good luck in that department.

Honestly now May is out for the season with his third hamstring, you gotta question why we keep bringing in under done players or players with a history of injuries to play in a dead season. An early pre season start for May would have been far more beneficial than playing today. He came to us unfit so make him work to fix that. We know he can play, we don’t know if we can play more than 2 matches in a row without getting injured. 

Totally agree. Jetta was the same. Hannan before that. And what exactly has been the point of having Melksham hobble around the field over the past couple of weeks?

What would happem if we weren't able to field a healthy 22? Would the AFL force us to play an injured player, would we play one short, or would the AFL allow us to contract a VFL listed player that is not on an AFL list, e.g. When Essendon were banned due to their illegal systematic doping program.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
