    Barring injuries from our preferred team, I'd be surprised to see Jeff Garlett out on the G again.

    of the nominal small forwards who played last weekend - garlett, spargo, and anb - i thought he offered the most

    so with Hannan being out for a while, and now Garletts injury, who would be next in line as a goal sneak/small fwd option for us? Bedford, Chandler, or heaven help us, C.Wagner or JKH?

    also can we still use our last draft pick* to get a player like that, or has the window shut on that option?

    Cough.......................Cyril Rioli........................Cough!!!

    Get Jordan Lewis into his ear

    I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the performances in a praccie match played in Shepp in 38 plus degrees heat. Regardless, you underrate Spargo. What is he? 19/20? This year is his second year in the big league.  A very smart footy brain and mature beyond his years. ANB I have no issue with. Garlett is very secondary backup if he, at his mature age (for a footballer), ever gets his body right again. That's the ruthless way it is if we are serious about winning the flag...and about time.

    I completely agree with you, fwiw, but I was still pleased to see Garlett’s attack on the ball and man - something that went missing for him big time in 2018

    Spargo is a little ripper but still so young

    yeah Spargo and ANB will play that role, but I want to know whos next in line if we have injuries/poor form to those guys. 

    Toby Bedford?

    wouldnt surprise me if Bedford got a senior game this season...small forwards seems to be able to debut and have an impact at a young age, and from all reports he has a big bag of tricks

    So read nothing into the performance of Oliver and Brayshaw?

    Garlett kicked 40 odd goals the year before and yes he had a poor year last year, but until he hurt himself, he was in better form than both ANB and Spargo at Shepparton

    So this appears to be our current injury list

    Kade Kolodjashnij (adductor) 3-4 weeks
    Jeff Garlett (shoulder) 4 - 6 weeks
    Mitch Hannan (knee) 8 - 12 weeks
    Jake Lever (knee) 12 - 16 weeks
    Aaron Nietschke (knee) season

    Because of the change in the rules allowing recruitment of relatively recent retirees, you'd have to assume clubs are striking deals with their higher-quality retirees which commit those ex-players to agree to come back to the club they've just retired from, should they decide to play again. The equivalent of a "non-compete" clause as used today in business.

    So, before we paid a fortune to send Lever to the US he was 3-4 weeks away, now he is 3-4 months away. Sounds like money well spent. Luckily I don't rate him as highly as most around here, because that is only one more hiccup away from being season over.

    I'd also like to know what proportion of his time on our list has Tim Smith been fit. He seems to be good for a new injury every second months.

    Fritsch came back on, JKH was walking in the rooms

    And Harmes is playing Round 1. So, basically, we can just add JKH and possibly Preuss.

    Came from Goodwin himself. I'm on my phone so I can't get the exact quote, but he said that the docs confirmed he won't miss Round 1.

    Edit - @Redleg there is article on the MFC website about it.

    Goodwin said he’d be fine

    They showed Viney in the rooms at one stage - big limp on, but that might be his natural gait or he might’ve copped a corkie or what have you

    As above, Jones said that Viney was a bit sore but had pulled up fine otherwise.

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
