Club will unfortunately have to make a tough call here I think... The fairy tale we all hoped would come to fruition is just that - a fairy tale.

Must be devastating for him to get his hopes up over that surgery.

I think you are being unrealistic if you didn't think there was going to be hiccups. The club would have been expecting this to happen.

Which Selwood?

I'd hardly consider May and Melksham as peripheral for some that have spent, or are presently spending stints in our rehab group, though hopefully they are back our of it soon enough.

To be fair, BPP did say 'most' of our injuries have been peripheral.

The bonus here is that it looks as though May and Melksham are only minor and, as you say, aren't too far away.  Nor should their injuries hamper their ability to be ready for Round 1.

Yes and no... my point was probably more around the surgery he had and the hope we all got from it - including Bennell. Whether it becomes apparent that it’s been a total failure remains to be seen... and if a hiccup was expected as you suggest. 
I desperately want him to play for us but there might be another Marlion Pickett in the wings somewhere we can rookie but I wouldn’t mind if we gave him the year either given we’re currently pretty healthy.

I'd sign Bennell to a one year deal. No brainer really. So he's had a minor calf tear. If we get 2 or 3 games out of him come the end of the year, versus a VFL player, I'd still like his class off an interrupted pre season.

 

 

elbow injury won't stop jog running, which is something at least, in order to maintain fitness

 “He’ll be back running around on Monday and possibly ready to play a game in three to four weeks’ time.”

Steven May's frustrating pre-season has continued, suffering another minor knee setback ? Steven May’s frustrating pre-season continues with another knee setback

Preseason Injury Update less than 2 weeks out from our first Practice Match. 

Max running again, but concerns for star defender, injury-cursed mid

 Steven May has had another minor setback, but will look to start running again next week.

I think a few of our players may qualify for a disabled parking permit. 

The amount of injuries and who they're affecting is a little concerning however touch wood right now we haven't had major setbacks (ie season ending). We're still a lot closer than last year to having our best 22 available for round one (not including Bennell in the conversatio until he's able to get himself to the right level of fitness).

Anyone have the inclination to create an injury list with estimated time out?

seems to be about 8 injured at the moment but hopefully only a couple not available for round 1?

Anyone know the reasons the following players are in rehab?

• Jake Melksham
• Mitch Hannan
• Oskar Baker

I'm trying to compile an updated injury/rehab list.

Thank you but what are their particular ailments?

Anybody know what is wrong with Petty?

Braydon Preuss will miss the early part of the 2020 season after suffering a knee injury.

It already feels like one of THOSE years...again!

So at this stage, having a guess i would say our injury list is,

Gawn, Melksham, Spargo, May, Bennell, Hibbered, Vandenberg, Pruess, Brayshaw, Hannan, Petty.

How did that blow out in a short space of time.. only at Melbourne hey..
