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.

[chook fowler 19,459]

does anyone know if Preuss has recovered from his knee?

[640MD 3,376]

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 

 

[640MD 3,376]

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.

We need to sign Burgess longer term.

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.

 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. 

[Demonstone 22,527]

Plus Kolodjashnij I assume.

[DubDee 25,869]

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

Stretch was delisted.

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.

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

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.

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. 

[Pulp Fritschon 739]

Preuss 4-5 weeks is annoying. I like the insurance he brings 

[Earl Hood 6,086]

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.

I’d conservatively offer him a 25 year extension.
