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.


 

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.

Oscar Baker was in full training yesterday.

Mitch and Melk were in advanced rehab. 

Anybody know what is wrong with Petty?


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..

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
