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: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
