interesting to read that bennell is training with the 'second' mid group, of which jones is a part

from the looks of the happy snaps, first mid group is gawn, oliver, viney, brayshaw, petracca, and tomlinson

presumably one other as i think they're training in groups of seven?

Looks like Langdon is the seventh.

    Is there a list  or is it a state secret ?

    who has fully recovered ? And who has not.

    they will not all be fully fit. 

    and if some are not selected are there games for them that Casey will be engaged in. 
    I have looked here and on MFC site and cannot see any list. I need a football fix.

    years ago I spent 12 months in Europe then another year in Canada. I survived that break but I am eager for this one to end

    So please does anyone know the status of fitness of the players?

     

    or are the all overweight and slow like me ?

    Hope Bennell gets a go and looking to start as a dangerous forward option. 

    He'd be a nice addition around high half forward too. With his and Melksham's elite kicking, the inside 50 conversion should drastically improve.

    On the previous page of this thread there is a link to a 13th May article in which Burgess states that the players are looking good and at the end of that article it provides a FULL injury list that comprises just three players: AVB, Kolodjashnij and Nietschke (the three hardest to remember how to spell).  I guess this also answers the question for those wondering about Preuss; as he's not on the list, then he's obviously ready to go.

    2 of those we know about, hopefully AVB is working through it. But hopes for Kolodjashnij ever appearing again in a Melbourne guernsey would seem as remote as ever.

    I'm hoping that as AVB's injury was a break in the foot and unrelated to his previous foot issues, that this layoff has allowed his foot to recover to the point where the issues won't resurface.  The additional time out while the break heals, will only help... in fact, I'd be surprised if we see him at all this year, unless we were to make finals in which case they may chance it.

    Nice and short injury list although its unfortunate there are three talls on there.

    a couple more talls go down and we'll be stretched

    It's still six players. For us that's great but I suspect we are four absentees above the median level for all clubs

    Anyone know where Hannan is at? What's the latest on him? 

    Apparently good to go? Played in the scratch match from what I saw.

     There will be just five names on the club’s injury list heading into Round 2, with Braydon Preuss (Achilles), Marty Hore (toe) and Harry Petty (groin) the most recent Demons to be sidelined.

    Also no AVB as they are increasing his loads. 

    Obviously Nietschke is sidelined with an ACL. 

    No disrespect intended, but none of the above (or Koladjashnij) would necessarily be picked anyway. VandenBerg would be the closest of that group to getting a regular game, but he's been out so long, I don't know where he stands anymore.

    6-8 weeks out for Hore... incredible...do we train under a ladder or with black cats ??

    Bad news for our depth, but I don't have him in our best 22.

    If one or 2 of Lever, May and O Mac get injured, then the Hore injury will hurt.

    Don't forget that VDB came back to play around finals time in 2018 and it was as if he hadn't been out at all; he had an immediate impact.  The guy has incredible, seemingly natural, stamina and if his foot is not hindering him, I would put him straight in as top 22, if not top 10.

    I agree HT. If he’s fit he should be picked IMO. I’d like to see him tag and place a few good tackles on Cripps.

    H Petty indefinite! A groin, are we talking osteopubis? And I note AVB still working toward full fitness! After what 10 months to get fit we still have 5 on the injury list plus AVB still working toward selection. Oh well to be expected as our usual year on year injury list average always seems to be around 10 to 12.

    We need to sign Burgess longer term.

    I’d conservatively offer him a 25 year extension.

    • 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.
