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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
